Types of Water Heaters We Service

We proudly service all major water heater brands and specialize in premium models from Bradford White. Our team installs and maintains a wide range of systems for homes of all sizes and configurations.

Tank Water Heaters

Still a reliable and budget-friendly option for many Memphis homes. These models provide a steady supply of hot water with gas or electric options available.

Tankless Water Heaters

Endless hot water on demand, compact designs, and lower operating costs. Ideal for energy-conscious households with high usage.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Hybrid electric systems that use heat from the air to warm your water—perfect for reducing long-term energy bills.

Solar Water Heaters

Eco-friendly and ultra-efficient. Great for homeowners ready to harness solar energy and offset their utility usage.

Is It Time to Replace Your Water Heater?

Water heaters typically last 8–12 years. But even before they fail completely, you might notice these signs:

  • Rusty or cloudy water
  • Reduced water temperature or pressure
  • Pooling water near the tank
  • Unusual noises like rumbling or popping
  • Spike in energy bills with no usage change

If any of these sound familiar, our team can inspect your system and offer straightforward recommendations on whether to repair or replace it.

Strange Noises from Water Heaters

Noises coming from your water heater often mean sediment has built up inside the tank. This is especially common in Memphis due to hard water. Without regular flushing, sediment can trap heat, overwork the unit, and eventually cause damage.

Other culprits include:

  • Failing heating elements
  • Loose valves
  • Overheating due to trapped debris

We’ll identify the issue and perform the necessary flush, repair, or replacement to restore safe, quiet operation.

The Importance of Water Heater Maintenance

A neglected water heater is a ticking time bomb for your comfort and your wallet. Routine maintenance ensures better performance, safer operation, and longer lifespan.

Our Maintenance Services Include:

  • Flushing to remove sediment
  • Anode rod replacement to prevent corrosion
  • Burner and thermostat calibration
  • Pressure relief valve testing
  • Leak checks and efficiency assessments

We recommend annual maintenance for all systems—especially in homes with hard water.

Common Water Heater Problems & System Solutions in Memphis, TN

Your water heater works hard every day—until it doesn’t. At Automatic Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing, we’ve seen firsthand how Memphis homeowners can be caught off guard by common (but preventable) water heater issues. Whether you’re dealing with age-related wear or hard water mineral buildup, we’re here to help diagnose the problem and provide expert repairs or upgrades that last.

Most Common Water Heater Issues We See

  • No Hot Water: Often caused by a failed igniter (gas), broken thermostat, or faulty heating element.
  • Fluctuating Water Temperatures: A sign of sediment buildup, failing thermostat, or improper sizing for your home.
  • Strange Noises: Popping or banging is typically due to hardened sediment in the tank trapping water and overheating.
  • Leaks Around the Unit: Could be caused by a loose valve, tank corrosion, or high internal pressure.
  • Rust-Colored or Cloudy Water: Indicates internal rust, a decaying anode rod, or pipe corrosion.
  • High Energy Bills: Older or neglected units lose efficiency and burn more energy just to keep up.

These problems can lead to bigger headaches like flooding, water damage, or complete system failure. Our team provides same-day diagnostics and carries parts on our trucks to minimize downtime.
