THE DETAILS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Your questions. Answered.

How Do I Know If My Water Heater Needs Repair?

Common signs include inconsistent hot water, strange noises, leaks, rusty water, reduced hot water supply, rising energy bills, or a complete loss of hot water. Not sure if your water heater is in good shape? You can’t go wrong calling JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air for an honest assessment.

How Often Should a Water Heater Be Serviced?

Most water heaters benefit from annual maintenance. If your home has especially hard water, you may want to schedule more frequent inspections and flushing services.

Can Hard Water Damage My Water Heater?

Over time, it can. Mineral deposits can accumulate inside the tank or heat exchanger, reducing efficiency and increasing wear on the system.

How Long Does a Water Heater Typically Last?

Traditional storage tank water heaters can last up to 12 years, while tankless systems can last 15 years or longer. To get the most out of your system, maintenance is key.

The Common Water Heater Problems that We Solve

The Greater Sacramento Area is known for having hard water. Over time, the minerals found in hard water can accumulate inside water heaters, lowering performance, efficiency, and longevity.

  • Water leaks
  • Pilot light problems

  • Faulty thermostats
  • Heating element failures
  • Sediment accumulation
  • Corrosion inside the tank

We also service tankless water heaters and can resolve these issues and others:

  • Inconsistent water temperatures
  • Fluctuating hot water supply
  • Mineral scale buildup
  • Reduced flow rates
  • Ignition failures
  • Error codes
  • Venting concerns
  • Electrical component problems

No matter what's causing your water heater troubles, our technicians can identify the root cause and recommend the right solution. We won’t try to sell you anything unnecessary. Plus, we charge flat rates without overtime or after-hours fees.
