Signs of Gas Water Heater Failure
The earlier we can repair a malfunctioning gas water heater, the better the options for less expensive repairs or replacement. Here are some of the most common signs that your system needs professional attention.
- Poor water heating. If your gas water heater takes longer than expected to produce hot water or fails to produce hot water, it needs professional attention.
- Unusual sounds. If your gas water heater is making strange humming or rumbling noises, there is a good chance it has excessive sediment buildup or malfunctioning components.
- Discolored water. If your tap is producing rusty or discolored water, there is a substantial chance there is corrosion inside the water heater’s tank.
- Metallic water taste or smell. If your water smells or tastes metallic, the water heater’s anode rod could be deteriorating or there may be other issues inside the unit.
- Leaking. The unit needs immediate repairs if you see water leaking around your gas water heater or standing water on the floor around it.
- Reduced water pressure. Excessive sediment buildup or blockages inside a gas water heater can cause poor water pressure and flow.
- Pilot light or gas line problems. If the pilot light flickers or goes out repeatedly, a problem with the thermocouple or gas supply could require professional attention. Malfunctioning thermocouples or gas valves can be a significant safety hazard and should be addressed immediately.
Common Gas Water Heater Repairs
Early intervention to repair problems with gas water heaters can help avoid the expense of complete unit replacement.
Some of the most common repairs that Chud Cooling & Heating makes to gas water heaters include:
- Pilot light repairs. Faulty pilot light operation is addressed by cleaning the thermocouple or replacing it when it’s defective.
- Thermocouple repair. The thermocouple is a safety device that shuts off the gas supply if the pilot light goes out. It can cause the pilot light to flicker or go out when it fails. It’s usually necessary to replace this part when it malfunctions.
- Burner assembly repairs. When this component malfunctions, we can sometimes clean it, although replacing a failed burner assembly is often necessary.
- Gas valve repair. The gas valve regulates the gas flow to the pilot light and then to the burner assembly. This component usually needs adjustment or replacement.
- Sediment buildup repair. The first step in addressing this issue is draining and flushing the tank. In some cases, tank damage can require unit replacement. We strongly recommend annual draining and flushing as part of our maintenance services.
- Anode rod replacement. This component attracts minerals that cause corrosion. Over time, the anode rod deteriorates and must be replaced to maximize the lifespan of your gas water heater.
- Thermostat calibration repair. Temperature control devices can lose calibration over time. Our technicians can examine and, in some cases, recalibrate your gas water heater’s temperature control to restore correct function.

“I had a great experience with Chud. Lewis and Sebastian did a fantastic job. They were communicative and on time, explained everything that they would be doing to clean my HVAC ductwork, answered all of my questions, were honest about not being able to properly clean my dryer vent, and cleaned up after they were done. They also went above and beyond, even cleaning dust from each slat of the return vent. Highly recommend.”

“We have been a customer of Chud Air Conditioning, Heating & Duct Cleaning for many years and have always had a very satisfying experience. The technicians have been very responsive during emergencies, are informative, and professional. Shane was our recent service technician who replaced our water heater. Shane was excellent, very thorough, friendly, and dependable. I would not hesitate to use them again and don’t forget to ask for Shane!”

“We rely on Chud Duct Cleaning to perform our regular duct cleaning in our home. Your service technicians Lewis and Sebastian arrived promptly, introduced themselves and got right to work. Our home has many vents behind and under furniture, which was moved and replaced as if nothing ever happened. My home was carefully prepared and respected throughout the entire process. An access panel was replaced for a more pleasant look and better access in the future. I will not hesitate to use this company for service again.”

“They came to service my heater and clean my ducts. They were super respectful of my property, thourough with their work, and carefully explained everything to me. My system is falling into disrepair. I could clearly see the rust and hear the problems they found. They recommended a variety of possible solutions from temporary furnace repairs to a new HVAC system. No pressure. I have a lot to think about, but it is good to know I have found someone I can trust to do the job.”

“Lewis and Sebastian were professional, knowledgeable and polite, and worked diligently over the course of two days to clean and sanitize the immense ductwork system at this location. They took the time to explain the process in detail, and were extremely aware of the need to treat a customer’s home as if it were their own. This was my second experience with Chud, and I won’t hesitate to call them again in the future.”

“Had a new heater and ac installed. Very pleased with entire process, from troubleshooting the old system to choosing the new to installation. Rich had patience with all my questions about the new system and helped me to understand the differences I should expect with the new. Matt and John did an outstanding job pulling out the old and installing the new. They got there on time and got right to work. Very professional technicians. Overall, a top notch job at a fair price. I highly recommend Chud.”
