The first on the list is rumbling. Rumbling isn\u2019t a sound that\u2019s exclusive\nto tank water heaters, but it\u2019s definitely more common in these systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rumbling is the sound that you\u2019re going to hear when sediment\nbuilds up in your water heater\u2019s tank. Sediment naturally occurs in your home\u2019s\nwater supply. Over time, it settles at the bottom of your water heater\u2019s tank. Throughout\nthe years, the sediment would harden due to heating and cooling on an extended\nbasis. Rumbling noises denote a bigger issue with your water heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Rust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at your home\u2019s water heater. If you notice visible\nsigns of corrosion like rust, then it\u2019s important that you schedule an appointment\nfor water heater service. Rust is a sign that your water heater isn\u2019t working properly.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rust in your water is also a problem. Any type of discolored\nwater is something that you should address with care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Inefficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve noticed an uptick in your water bill, and you\u2019ve traced it back to your water heater. The problem is that there aren\u2019t any outward signs of trouble or leaks\u2014what\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inefficiency might the culprit behind your issues. Inefficiency can be due to the age of your water heater, the sediment build-up in your water heater, or increased capacity needs in your home. We\u2019ll make sure that you pinpoint the exact problem and solve it ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Inconsistent Temperatures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are inconsistent temperatures in your home something you\u2019ve learned to live with? You shouldn\u2019t have to stand in your shower and worry about the temperature of the stream falling down on you. Inconsistent temperatures are a problem, they lead to inefficiency, and they\u2019re uncomfortable. Make sure that you care for your water heater with the help of our team members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you noticed your water heater leaking? This is always a\nbad sign that is typically due to corrosion. If you notice that your water\nheater is springing leaks consistently, then you\u2019re going to need to schedule\nan appointment with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaks are a time-sensitive issue and a potentially costly one because they can cause water damage. Make sure that you\u2019re noting these problems when they happen and make sure to address them as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Contact Affinity Gas Services today to <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">schedule an appointment<\/a> with our professionals.
