Although the water heater is one of the most important appliances in the home, most people don’t realize the importance of hiring an experienced professional to conduct a water heater installation in Westport, CT such as what we offer here at JNR Plumbing. Improper installations  or poor maintenance practices will end up costing you more money in the long term. Here are some of the things that can go wrong when a water heater isn’t properly installed or maintained.

So What Can Go Wrong?

Improper water heater installation or maintenance can result in larger problems down the road. Some of these problems include:

Reduced Efficiency – Calcium and mineral deposits can build up within the pipes and inside the tank, reducing your water tank’s efficiency. It is very important to have a licensed plumber in Westport, CT check your pipes periodically; every year should be sufficient.

Gas Leaks – Gas water heaters can sometimes leak natural gas. You will be able to smell the gas escaping. A gas leak is a very dangerous situation that should be resolved immediately, otherwise, there is a risk of fire or explosion. You should also remove any flammable materials from around gas or even your tankless water heater in Westport, CT.

Structural Failure – The water heater itself may fail, shooting through your roof like a rocket and spraying dangerously hot water in all directions. This happens when the Temperature and Pressure Release (TPR) valve is improperly installed or removed.

Water Damage – Water leaks are a serious issue that can compromise the internal structure of your home, costing you thousands of dollars in water damage. You may even end up having a premature need for water heater replacement in Westport, CT

Carbon Monoxide Leaks – Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is released by burned gas. This gas can leak from the water heater’s exhaust pipe if it’s not properly maintained. If you begin to feel extreme dizziness, confusion or shortness of breath, contact our team for water heater repair in Westport, CT immediately. It’s likely that there may be a carbon monoxide leak coming from your water heater.
