Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless systems are an efficient, on-demand solution for your home's water needs. One of the benefits of a tankless water heater installation is a reduction in energy consumption because hot water is not preheated and stored in the tank. Instead, new water is heated as needed, and there is no waiting for the tank to fill up.

Rheem Tank Water Heaters

Tank Water Heaters

Electric tank water heaters are an excellent choice for homeowners who require reliable hot water. The Marathon electric water heater by Rheem has a 50-gallon capacity and features a non-metallic tank that prevents rust and corrosion. Additionally, it provides an on-demand solution to cater to your home's water needs. Installing a tankless water heater offers the added benefit of reducing energy consumption, as hot water is not preheated and stored in a tank. Instead, new water is heated as needed, and the tank does not wait to fill up.

Common Water Heater Problems

There are several common water heater problems that can indicate the need for servicing, repairing, or replacing. If you experience any of these warning signs, scheduling a service appointment sooner rather than later is best.


Water heaters can develop issues that require servicing, repair, or replacement. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's best to schedule a service appointment sooner rather than later.

Insufficient Water Temperature

Your water heater should be able to meet your home's hot water demands. If your unit is not supplying enough hot water, this can impact your daily comfort. Your water heater may not be producing enough hot water due to sediment buildup, thermostat issues, or more serious problems related to heating elements.

Strange Noises

Strange noises from your water heater can be an indication of a need for repair. In fact, noises such as popping, rumbling, sizzling, screeching, knocking, ticking, or hissing can be a reason for worry. Regular maintenance through a Maintenance Membership can help prevent these strange noises from occurring.


Murky Water

Water heaters with rust on the inside may cause hot water to run brown. Draining and flushing the storage tank may resolve this problem.


 Leaky Relief Valve or Rusty Tank

A leaking water heater is not normal and can be a potentially dangerous situation, depending on where the leak is coming from and its extent. It is best to contact a professional plumber in order to prevent any further damage from happening.
