These are a few ways that you can learn to recognize the signs of a water heater that needs professional care.<\/p>\n<h3>Odd Noise<\/h3>\n<p>You don\u2019t really want to hear your water heater at all and if you do you <em>really <\/em>don\u2019t want to be able to categorize the sounds you hear as \u201codd.\u201d If the things you\u2019re hearing do fall into this category, then it\u2019s always best to contact a professional. Common odd water heater sounds include: popping, rumbling, or cracking. These sounds happen when sediment builds up at the bottom of your water heater tank and make the heating process difficult. Eventually, this will overwork your water heater and cause damage inside your tank so contact our team sooner than later.<\/p>\n<h3>A Lack of Hot Water<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re not getting any hot water in your home, or you\u2019re just running out of hot water after a short amount of time, you\u2019re having trouble with your water heater. Sometimes this is just a problem with the pilot light, but other times it\u2019s a problem at the source of the water heater. The unit\u2019s heating element is important and when things start to go south you\u2019ll really notice.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Water Smells or Tastes Off<\/h3>\n<p>If your water starts to smell a little weird or taste a little funky, make sure you call a professional immediately. This is especially true if the odd smell or taste is metallic because this means that the inside of your tank water heater is probably flaking off.<\/p>\n<h3>Leaking<\/h3>\n<p>This is a super noticeable sign that something is off with your water heater. If you find water leaking around your unit, check the fittings and connections before calling us. It could just be a loose part, but if none of these things are the culprit, then your water heater tank has probably developed a crack. Don\u2019t try to ignore these problems or treat them on your own. You want a professional to treat these problems the right way the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for great water heater services in Boston, then make sure that you <a href=\"\/contact\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact our team at Cooling Unlimited, Inc. today<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve listed a few telltale signs that your water heater could benefit from some professional TLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[87,158],"class_list":["post-1020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-water-heater-service","tag-boston","tag-water-heater-service"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1023,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020\/revisions\/1023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
