Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Why is my water heater making a rumbling or popping noise?

Rumbling and popping usually indicate sediment buildup on the bottom of the tank. As water is heated, it bubbles up through the sediment layer, causing the noise. A professional flush can clear mild accumulation; if the sediment is thick and has hardened, the tank may be nearing end of life. Annual flushing prevents the problem from developing.

What is the typical water hardness in Millcreek?

Most cities along the Wasatch Front have very hard water, typically ranging from 200 to 400 mg/L (12 to 23 grains per gallon). Water above 180 mg/L is classified as "hard" to "very hard" by the Water Quality Association. This level of hardness significantly accelerates scale buildup inside water heaters and on heating elements, shortening service life without regular maintenance or softening.

When is the best time of year to replace a water heater?

Spring and fall are ideal: plumbers are less busy than in winter (when emergency calls spike during cold snaps) and summer (peak home improvement season). You are also less likely to be without hot water in an uncomfortable season. If your water heater is showing early warning signs -- minor leaks, slowing recovery time, or age over 10 years -- replacing it proactively in spring or fall on your schedule is far less stressful and often cheaper than an emergency replacement in January.
