Components of Your Water Heater
We've put up a list of water heater components to assist you in troubleshooting any problems with your water heater. Give our team of experts a call to schedule a water heater repair appointment if you need help with an clogged exhaust flue.
|
Gas Burner & AssemblyUnderneath the tank, your gas burner, also known as the heat source, has a touch-controlled control module on the side of the tank. This module works like a thermostat and can be used to adjust the temperature in order to light up the pilot flame. The gas line also comes with a shut-off valve, and it runs next to the tank along with the gas burner. In case of an emergency, turn off the gas using this valve.

Exhaust FlueOther harmful gases will be generated throughout the combustion process while you use your gas water heater. Your exhaust chimes in at this stage, venting these superfluous gases from the burner and pushing them outside of your property. The exhaust flue also serves as a heat exchanger.

Pressure Relief Valve & Drain ValveThe safety components of the gas water heater are the pressure relief valve and drain valve. It's in charge of relieving excess pressure and heat when they get too high in the tank.
Heat and pressure might be quite hazardous—your water heater tank could burst or explode as a result. These valves are critical to your heating equipment since they prevent such events from happening. The drain valve is at the bottom of the tank and is also used to cleanse sediments. Sediment accumulation can harm your gas water heater system, so it's important to empty it on a regular basis; this is generally accomplished during scheduled maintenance. |

Tank, Dip Tube, & Discharge PipeThe tank, which is the largest and most essential component of your gas water heater, is where it all begins. The tank is the large cylinder that holds water. Water will enter the tank through the dip tube when it's cold. The discharge pipe is a tube that extends from the top of the tank to the bottom. When water in the tank warms, it rises to the top. Water will then flow out of the discharge pipe and distribute water throughout your property after that.
Use a valve on the cold water line that goes into the tank to shut off the water in an emergency. |

Signs Water Heater Needs Replace
Professional repairs may be required for many water heater difficulties. However, it's crucial to understand if repairs are feasible or whether you'll need a water heater replacement now so you can avoid wasting time, money, and anxiety.
Whether or not you need to replace your water heater is something you'll have to determine for yourself. These things should factor into your decision:
Whether or not you need to replace your water heater is something you'll have to determine for yourself. These things should factor into your decision:
- Age: Is your water heater more than 10 years old? It's possible that it's time to consider replacing it, especially if it hasn't been maintained.
- Frequent Repairs: Is your water heater currently requiring frequent, expensive, or repeated repairs? It's possible that frequent breakdowns are a indication that it's time to replace the unit.
- Sort of Hot Water: If your home is frequently without hot water, or if the water coming from faucets is lukewarm at best, it's time to replace your water heater.
- Leaking Tank: If your water heater's tank is leaking, it's time to replace it. Internal problems are the most common cause of leaks, and they're generally not repairable.
- Appearance: Is the tank rusted? Is it possible to detect signs of rusting? Is your home's water discolored or rusty-tinted? If so, it's likely time for a new water heater.
- Sediment Buildup: Sediment buildup in your water heater's tank may cause a variety of issues. If you've never had the water heater cleaned, there's a chance that accumulation has accumulated.
