  • Inconsistent temperatures when using multiple taps
  • Water pooling around the unit or visible leaks

  • Low or fluctuating water pressure
  • Pilot light keeps going out (gas models)
  • Discoloured or rusty water

If you’re experiencing any of these warning signs, it’s time to give us a call. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more expensive repairs, water damage, or the need to replace the unit entirely. Quick response means more savings and less stress. Contact us now to schedule a repair.

Prevent Costly Breakdowns With Maintenance Tips

A little preventive maintenance can add years to your water heater’s lifespan and save you on energy and repair costs:

  • Flush the tank annually to remove sediment
  • Check and replace the anode rod as needed
  • Insulate your pipes and water heater to reduce heat loss
  • Schedule an annual maintenance service with SMHC

Not only will these tips help reduce breakdowns, but they’ll also improve your home’s energy efficiency and lower your utility bills.

Repair Or Replace? Here’s How To Know

Wondering whether it’s worth repairing or if it’s time for a new water heater? Consider the following:

  • Is your water heater more than 10–12 years old?
  • Are repair costs adding up?
  • Are your energy bills rising, even with less use?
  • Has your system failed multiple times?

If you answered yes to two or more of the above, a new installation might be the more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution. We offer affordable, high-efficiency natural gas, electric, tank, and tankless options that can lower operating costs and improve performance.
