If you need water heater repair in West Yellowstone, MT, PJ's Plumbing & Heating is the plumber to call. Avoid the mistake of waiting too long to contact us. Water heater troubles usually persist and can become a lot more expensive to fix. If you’re experiencing problems and have an older system, water heater replacement is a worthwhile consideration.

Limescale buildup is a leading cause of water heater repair in West Yellowstone. Many homeowners have hard water without an anti-scale device or water softener. The magnesium and calcium build up in your system over time. The anode rod attracts some of it. The rest adheres to the inner tank lining, heating elements, valves, and other parts. Limescale causes operating costs to rise. It can lead to many odd noises and eventually cause parts to fail.
If you caught the problem early enough, flushing the tank may be the only service you need. We may need to replace the anode rod as well. If the buildup is severe, we may have to replace parts we can’t clean.
Another common problem is running out of hot water. If it’s a recent development, it could be a faulty thermostat, heating element, or burner. Strange and loud noises can also indicate high water pressure or loose fittings. Low hot water pressure is usually a water heater problem, but low cold water pressure can be as well. Sometimes, the limescale deposits have entered the plumbing beyond the water heater intake.
When is it better to replace a water heater than repair it? We factor in cost and age for our water heater replacement recommendations. Our experts often recommend replacing units that are a decade or older. We’ll also advise replacement when the repair will cost 50% or more of replacement.
Water heater replacement is an opportunity to reassess your household’s needs. They may have changed over the last decade. Perhaps you need a larger tank or a smaller one. You may also consider a tankless system. The upfront costs are higher, but the long-term savings are bigger. You’ll also enjoy a practically limitless supply of hot water.
