Frequently Asked Questions

Will a plumber haul away my old water heater?

Most do, but it is worth confirming before you book. Reputable Kearns plumbers typically include old-unit disposal as part of a complete installation, since they already have a vehicle capable of hauling it. Some companies charge a separate haul-away fee of $25 to $75 -- this is worth asking about when comparing quotes. If the plumber leaves the old unit, scrap metal recyclers will pick up steel tanks, or you can arrange bulky item pickup with your city's waste hauler.

What parts of a water heater most commonly need replacing?

In order of frequency: the anode rod (every 2–5 years, often neglected), heating elements on electric units (every 5–10 years), thermostats (both upper and lower on electric units), the thermocouple on gas units (every 5–10 years), and the pressure relief valve (every 5–6 years per manufacturer recommendation). Replacing these parts on schedule — rather than waiting for failure — is far cheaper than emergency calls and can add years to the tank's life.

Where is the water heater reset button and how do I use it?

On electric water heaters, the reset button (also called the high-limit switch) is a small red button located on the upper thermostat behind the upper access panel on the side of the tank. Remove the panel and insulation, press the button firmly until you feel a click, then replace the insulation and panel. If the breaker trips again or the reset button pops out repeatedly, the thermostat or heating element is failing and needs professional replacement — do not keep resetting it.

Is a leaking water heater dangerous?

Yes. A leaking water heater can cause structural water damage, mold growth, and — if gas-powered — a risk of gas accumulation or explosion if the leak is at a fitting rather than the tank. Shut off water and power (or gas) immediately and call a licensed plumber. Do not attempt to re-light a pilot or reset a tripped breaker before the source is identified.
