Banning Water Heater Repair
Is your water heater in need of repair?
Gas water heaters are super important in every home, and when they go out, it can ruin your day. Like any other machine, they can break down and need help from a professional plumber. Our expert water heater technicians show up with nearly everything they need to restore hot water to your home.
Have you thought about switching to a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters are extremely energy efficient and will save you money on your utility bill. Southern California Gas Company usually has huge rebates for Banning residents from switching from a tank water heater to a tankless model. The rebates vary from time to time, but often, you can receive up to a $1,200 rebate for installing an energy-efficient tankless water heater.
Common Reasons Why Water Heaters Go Out:
- Pilot Light – The pilot light is a small flame that starts the gas burner in your water heater. If it’s not working, it could be because the thermocouple (a safety device) is dirty or broken, the gas pipe is clogged, or there’s an issue with the gas supply.
- Thermostat Controls – The thermostat controls the water temperature. If it’s not working right, you might get water that’s not hot enough or too hot. A plumber can fix or adjust the thermostat to ensure your water heater works properly.
- Sediment—Regular maintenance is key to maintaining your water heater. Over time, sediment can build up in the bottom of the water heater, making it less efficient and harder to work. By flushing the water heater once a year, you can prevent this problem and ensure your water heater lasts longer.
- Leaking Water Heater – Gas water heaters can rust if the anode rod (a part that protects the tank from corrosion) isn’t working properly. If the anode rod is worn out, the tank can leak, and you might need a new water heater.
- Old Age – Water heaters typically have a lifespan of 10-12 years. If your water heater is approaching this age or has already surpassed it, it’s a good time to consider replacing it with a newer, more efficient model. This information can help you plan and budget for the future.
- Gas Leaks – If you smell gas near your water heater, it’s a serious problem that needs immediate attention. A broken gas valve, a damaged burner, or a problem with the gas line can cause a gas leak. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas supply and call for help.

To improve air quality, California is gradually phasing out gas-powered home appliances. Starting in 2030, the state will prohibit the sale of gas water heaters. Homeowners must opt for either electric or heat pump water heaters as alternatives. These changes are part of California’s broader strategy to reduce carbon emissions and meet federal air quality standards. The transition away from gas appliances is expected to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions significantly, a key component of smog, and contribute to cleaner air for all Californians.
