No Hot Water? We Diagnose the Cause

Losing hot water does not automatically mean the entire water heater must be replaced. The failure may involve a thermostat, heating element, ignition component, control, electrical issue, leaking connection, tank condition or another part of the system.

  • Water heater is running but the water stays cold.
  • Pilot will not stay lit or the burner does not fire.
  • Electric water heater has power but does not heat correctly.
  • Hot water works intermittently or changes temperature unexpectedly.
  • Hot water runs out much faster than it used to.
  • The water heater is leaking and hot water has become unreliable.
  • The unit has repeated failures and needs a repair-versus-replacement evaluation.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Water Heater?

Age can matter, but it should not be the only factor. The condition of the tank, the source of the failure, repair cost, reliability and part availability all help determine the right next step.

Repair May Make Sense When

The tank itself is sound and the problem is isolated to a replaceable component, valve, fitting, heating element, thermostat, control or connection.

Replacement Is Usually Better When

The steel tank itself is leaking, there is serious corrosion or deterioration, or repeated failures make continued repair impractical.

Gas, Electric and Tankless Water Heater Service

G-Plumbing works with common residential water-heating systems throughout Brooklyn and Queens. Service is based on the unit type, symptoms, condition and what is actually causing the failure.

Standard Gas Water Heaters

Diagnosis can include pilot and ignition problems, controls, burner operation, venting, leaking connections and tank condition.

Electric Storage Water Heaters

Service can include heating elements, thermostats, power-related faults, wiring conditions, leaking fittings and tank failures.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless service can include error-code diagnosis, maintenance, flushing or descaling and repair of common components when appropriate.

What to Do If Your Water Heater Is Leaking

If water is actively leaking, reducing the water flow and shutting down the heater can help limit damage. Only take these steps when controls and shutoff points are safely accessible. Do not enter standing water around electrical equipment.

1. Shut Off the Cold-Water Supply

If it is safe to reach, close the cold-water valve supplying the water heater to reduce incoming water.

2. Shut Down the Heater Safely

Gas and electric units have different shutdown procedures. Only operate controls or breakers when the area is dry and safely accessible.

3. Call G-Plumbing

Explain where the water appears to be coming from and whether the leak is active. G-Plumbing provides 24/7 Emergency Repair Services.
