The Importance of a Well-Maintained Water Heater

​

Your water heater affects many areas of daily life: bathing, laundry, cooking, and even heating water for cleaning tasks. When it’s not working optimally, you could face issues like inconsistent water temperatures, high utility bills, or total equipment failure. A properly maintained water heater will:

1. Provide Reliable Hot Water – No more unpleasant surprises in the shower.

2. Lower Energy Costs – A well-maintained unit runs more efficiently, using less energy to deliver the same—or even better—performance.

3. Extend the Lifespan of the Heater – Preventative care and timely repairs can help you avoid an untimely or expensive replacement.

 

At Bizzy Bee Plumbing, Inc, our experienced plumbers know how to identify potential problems before they escalate. We’ll help you protect your investment and enjoy continuous hot water in your Durham home or business.

 

Common Water Heater Issues

​

Before a full breakdown occurs, water heaters often exhibit warning signs. Recognizing them early can save you time and money. Some common water heater issues include:

• Strange Noises: Rumbling or popping sounds may indicate sediment buildup.

• Discolored or Rusty Water: This could mean corrosion inside the tank or pipes.

• Leaking Tank: Any water pooling around the base of your unit is a cause for concern.

• Fluctuating Temperatures: Inconsistent hot water often signals a failing heating element or thermostat.

• High Energy Bills: An inefficient heater will consume more energy than necessary.

 

If you notice any of these signs, contact our team at Bizzy Bee Plumbing, Inc. We’ll quickly diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action—be it a minor repair or a complete replacement.

 

Tankless Water Heater Solutions

​

Durham homeowners increasingly turn to tankless water heaters for their energy savings and on-demand hot water capabilities. Unlike traditional storage tank models, tankless systems heat water only when you need it, eliminating the standby energy losses associated with keeping a large reservoir heated all the time. Some popular tankless brands we work with include:

• Rinnai

• Navien

• Rheem

Each brand has specific features, efficiency ratings, and warranty options. When you choose Bizzy Bee Plumbing, Inc for a tankless water heater replacement, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each brand, ensuring you pick the perfect model for your household size and hot water demands. Our skilled plumbers will then install the unit to meet manufacturer specifications, optimizing its performance and lifespan.

 

Benefits of Going Tankless

​

1. Energy Efficiency – By heating water on demand, you reduce the energy wasted keeping a full tank hot.

2. Longer Lifespan – Many tankless units can last up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

3. Space-Saving Design – Tankless systems are compact and can be wall-mounted, freeing up floor space.

4. Unlimited Hot Water—You won't have to worry about running out of hot water when you take multiple showers or wash loads back-to-back.

 

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

 

Even with the rise in popularity of tankless systems, traditional tank water heaters remain an excellent choice for many Durham homeowners. They tend to cost less upfront and come in various sizes to match specific household needs. Some leading tank brands we often install or repair include:

• Rheem

• A. O. Smith

• Bradford White

 

Our Bizzy Bee Plumbing, Inc team has years of experience working with all types of storage tank heaters. Whether you need help choosing the perfect capacity for your family or advice on whether to repair an aging unit or upgrade to a newer, more efficient model, our plumbers are ready to guide you every step of the way.

 

Signs It Might Be Time to Replace Your Tank Heater

• The unit is over 10-15 years old.

• You notice increasing repair costs.

• Rusty or discolored water is a frequent occurrence.

• You see leaks or moisture around the base of the heater.

 

Replacing an older tank heater can improve both energy efficiency and performance. Our plumbing specialists will handle the entire process, from removing your old unit to installing and testing the new one for optimal results.
