After my family showers, there’s never enough hot water for me. What’s the problem?The most likely explanation is that your water heater’s recovery rate is too slow and/or that your tank is too small for your family’s needs. When you choose All City Water Heater Service in Winnipeg, we’ll match your family with the perfect water heater to meet your needs.
-
My home’s water is suddenly rusty, what could be causing this?This could mean that your gas or electric water heater is failing, that bacteria are present in your water system or that your water heater’s anode rod is malfunctioning.
-
How much clearance needs to be around my gas water heater?Gas water heaters need around 24” of space in front and at least 2” in the back.
-
My water heater works fine most of the time. Do I really need to call a professional service team?The answer is yes. Even if your water heater works fine most of the time, occasional issues could indicate a brewing problem. If left un-serviced, a malfunctioning water heater can cause serious property damage and pose major safety risks.
-
How do I know when to replace my water heater?Normally age is the most important factor to consider when deciding whether to replace your water heater. If your water heater is 8-10 years old, it may be time to consider replacing it for a more energy-efficient model. If your water is discoloured or tastes bad, it may also be time to replace your water heater.
