Gas Water Heater Repairs

Gas water heaters are a common choice for many households. They are known for their quick recovery time and energy efficiency. However, like any appliance, they can experience issues, such as a lack of hot water and pilot light problems. Our technicians can identify the root cause of the issue, whether it’s a faulty pilot light, thermocouple, or gas valve, and promptly fix it with our expert gas water heater repair services.

Electric Water Heater Repairs

Electric water heaters are another popular choice, offering energy efficiency and ease of maintenance. If you have an electric water heater, you may encounter issues such as a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, or sediment buildup in the tank. Our technicians can resolve these issues and restore your water heater’s efficient and quiet operation with timely electric water heater repair services.

The Top Signs You Have a Broken Water Heater

It’s essential to be aware of the common signs that your water heater may be malfunctioning. Recognizing these indicators early can help you address the problem before it becomes more serious. Here are the top signs that your water heater is not working like it should:

Cold Water: The most obvious sign of a water heater problem is the absence of hot water when you turn on the tap. If your shower suddenly runs cold or your faucets never seem to heat up, your water heater may be the culprit.
Strange Noises: Unusual sounds coming from your water heater could indicate a problem. These noises are often a result of sediment accumulation, which can reduce the efficiency of the heater and lead to overheating.
Leaks: Puddles or water stains around the base of the heater are a clear sign of a leak. Leaks can result from corroded tanks, pressure valve issues, or other internal problems. Make sure you schedule water heater repair services with our experts in Santa Fe, NM, as soon as you suspect a leak.
Low Water Pressure: A reduction in water pressure when using hot water can be indicative of sediment buildup or a clogged pipe in your water heater. This reduced pressure can be both an inconvenience and a sign of potential problems.
Longer Heating Times: If it takes longer for your water heater to produce hot water than it used to, it may be due to a failing heating element or other internal issues. It’s best to address this problem right away, even though it may seem like only a minor inconvenience, as the extended heating time can result in increased energy consumption.
Smelly or Metallic-Tasting Water: Unpleasant odors or strange tastes in your hot water can be a sign of bacterial growth or corrosion inside the tank, potentially caused by a broken anode rod or other internal issues. If this is the problem you’re facing, reach out to our team for water heater repair services in Santa Fe, NM, as soon as possible. We’ll restore the quality of your water in no time.

Regular maintenance, such as flushing your water heater to remove sediment, can extend its lifespan and reduce the likelihood of these problems. If your unit is beyond repair, consider a water heater installation. Our team will help you select a more energy-efficient and reliable model to ensure a steady supply of hot water in your home.

What to Do When Your Water Heater Is Not Working

When you notice that your water heater is not working correctly, it’s important to take some immediate steps to avoid further damage or safety hazards. For electric water heaters, switch off the power at the circuit breaker. For gas water heaters, turn off the gas supply to the unit. Now, close the cold water supply valve to the water heater to prevent any additional water from entering the tank. Once you’ve taken these safety measures, get in touch with our team about our water heater repair services in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. We’ll diagnose and repair the issue without delay.

Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying

Paul Costello ★★★★★ in the last week
Roadrunner installed air conditioning when I was out of town, five mini split units. If I hadn't known, I didn't have air conditioning before. I would never have known they installed it. The house was spotless. The job was perfect … More and they even painted the covers to match exactly the stucco on my home. I was not here, but they seem to be very professional about Being in my home ,always locking up at the end of the night. I would highly recommend this company to do work.Id like to thank Mauri, Guz, Justin and Julian, what a great job!!!
James Alm ★★★★★ 2 weeks ago
My wife and I had Roadrunner install a three room mini-split sytem at our house in El Dorado which required the removal of a large wall-mounted evaporative cooler and some serious exterior and interior wall repair after that. What a fabulous … More job and what a bunch of friendly, professional, and thorough people! We were beyond impressed. You may pay a little more for their expertise, but you get what you pay for. We highly recommend this knowledgeable outfit consisting of Steve, Joel, Mauri, Gus, and a few others.
Stephanie Wagner ★★★★★ 3 weeks ago
My husband and I hired Roadrunner to replace our gas furnace with a heat pump system so that we could have air conditioning in the summer as well as heat in the winter. The system was installed a couple of days ago and we are so pleased … More with the quiet operation of the Mitsubishi air handler and the warmth that the heat pumps provide.
The service provided by Julian and Juan was fantastic! Though the installation took longer than expected due to a delay in the shipment of a part and an issue with getting our Nest thermostat to connect to the Mitsubishi system, I was impressed with how they kept us informed of where they were in the process and how they did their best to minimize any discomfort. They did a great job of cleaning up at the end of the day and made sure that we were happy with the placement of equipment and sealing/insulation around wall intrusions. Julian even delayed his planned time off by a couple of days so that he could ensure that everything was working properly for us. It is rare to see that level of dedication to a project and to a customer's satisfaction, and we really appreciated it!
The staff at Roadrunner was great to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their heating and cooling systems!
Leigh Plesniak ★★★★★ a month ago
Probably the best experience that I've had with a contractor. Steven was very organized in detailing the quote options, incredibly responsive to questions before and after the project. The project involved an unexpected challenge … More with drilling through my walls, which I thought were adobe but were concrete block. They handled it without drama, protected the house from the dust, and cleaned it up afterwards. They took the time to show me the features of the units after installatioin. I'd probably have never realized some of the aspects of their function. I can't recomend them enough.
Dimo Krilo ★★★★★ a month ago
They do great work both plumbing and HVAC. Not the least expensive but very reliable and high quality work including splits, water heaters and general maintenance.
