Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
When your water heater in Akron, OH isn’t performing up to your expectations, don’t hesitate to give Jennings a call for repair service. Your water heater may need professional repair if you notice any of the following issues:
- A lack of hot water. There can be many reasons for a lack of hot water from your tank. A buildup of sediment over time will diminish a water heater’s efficiency. However, if the supply of hot water ceases suddenly, then a heating element may be going bad and will need to be replaced.
- Tank is leaking from the top. Many times, this is caused by a loose or corroded intake water line. A simple replacement can resolve this issue and preserve your tank.
- Tank is leaking from the bottom. This could be from internal damage, a loose drain valve, or too much pressure in the tank causing the pressure release valve to leak. Leaks, no matter where they are coming from, should be immediately addressed by a professional to avoid extensive damage to the unit and its surroundings.
- The pilot light struggles to stay lit. Water from a leak can get high enough to block air intake that the pilot light needs to stay lit. If water isn’t the issue, then the pilot light may need repair or replacement.
- Rusty or cloudy water is coming out of your pipes. Rusty water coming from the hot tap only indicates a presence of rust within the water heater. When this happens, it’s only a matter of time before the unit corrodes, leaks, and will need replacement. If it’s cloudy, then this may be due to a buildup of sediment within the unit.
- Water smells bad. If your water has a strong odor, it can be from the mineral buildup or from bacterial growth in your unit. Either way, you will want to call a professional to help restore clean and safe water to your home.
Water Heater Repair
A water heater needs regular maintenance and to help it avoid premature breakdown and repair needs. No matter how new the water heater, a yearly checkup can help preserve its efficiency and lower its operational costs. Not to mention, it can help keep your family safe from electrical or gas related emergencies when a part unexpectedly fails.
You can give our experts a call in Akron, OH to set up an annual inspection and benefit from continued reliability with your water heater. They will test your unit, check for signs of wear and tear, perform minor repairs, and alert you when it is time for a replacement. Get the most out of your system with water heater repair and maintenance services from Jennings.

When it is time for replacement, there are a lot of water heater options on the market. With different styles, capacities, and brands, picking the right one can quickly become overwhelming.
The lowest cost options will be ones that contain the same hookups for whatever is currently installed in your home, whether that is gas, electric, or something else. If you want to make the switch from electric to gas to save on monthly energy costs, then be prepared for the added cost of gas line installation with your new unit.
If it seemed like your home never had enough water for everyone, you may want to upgrade to a larger unit to accommodate the demands of your household. Our professionals can help you calculate the right number of gallons you will need for your home.
Water heater tanks are the most common form of water heating for homes in the area. Newer tankless models are becoming more popular, but they may not be right for everyone. If the energy efficiency, lower operational costs, and longer lifespan of tankless units interests you, our trained professionals can examine your home, your needs, and your budget to see if this option is right for you.
We are here to answer any of your water heater related questions so you can walk away satisfied with your new unit. With our comprehensive knowledge and reliable installation services, you can count on Jennings to get the job done right.

- Draining/cleaning the tank to remove sediment and other build-up
- Inspecting hoses for cracks
