Knoxville Water Heater FAQ’s
Most people set their water heater to 120°F. That way, the water is still hot when it reaches the furthest parts of their plumbing system, but it also is not so hot that it is likely to cause burns.
It’s possible for water heaters to explode, but it’s very, very rare. This can happen with both gas and electric heaters and is more likely when the heater is not well maintained. If you’re worried about this, we can test your water heater.
Turn on the circuit breaker for the water heater, and/or the gas line that feeds it. Make sure there is a flow of water into the heater and that the pilot light is working. There may be a switch or button you need to activate depending on your unit’s make and model.
There is no single best type of hot water heater. The one that’s right for you depends on the way your system is set up, your usage patterns, and more. Our team can help you find the best water heater for your specific Knoxville home needs.
Indications include no hot water, temperature fluctuations, discolored water, unusual noises, leaks, and rising energy bills. If your unit is over 10 years old or requires frequent repairs, it may need servicing or replacement.
It’s best to have your water heater inspected and serviced annually to maintain efficiency, prolong its lifespan, and avoid potential issues, especially important in Knoxville’s varying seasonal conditions.
Turn off the water supply and power to the unit, and contact The Plumbing Authority for immediate assistance. Leaks often indicate serious issues that require professional attention to prevent water damage to your Knoxville home.
