A storage tank water heater is the system most Cincinnati-area homes run on, and it is also the one people think about least until the hot water stops or the floor around it is wet. ICON Heating and Cooling repairs the tank you have and replaces it when repair no longer makes sense.
Serving West Chester since 2014, our technicians are trained to work on all major brands and models of tank water heaters, whichever contractor installed yours. That covers heating elements and burners, thermostats, dip tubes, anode rods, sediment problems and the connections and valves around the unit.
If you are replacing the unit anyway, it is worth asking whether a tankless system fits your home better. We will give you an honest comparison rather than pushing one over the other.
No hot water, not enough of it, odd noises or a leak at a fitting. Not every leak means the tank is finished, and knowing the difference is worth a service call before you commit to a replacement you may not need yet.
Tank Repair and MaintenanceWhen the tank itself has failed, or the unit is old enough that another repair is throwing good money after bad, we size and install the replacement and handle the connections, venting and safety fittings that go with it. Financing options are available.
Tank Installation and ReplacementTank capacity should follow how your household actually uses hot water rather than simply matching whatever was there before. Our process runs in five steps:
A tank that is over 10 to 12 years old, showing visible rust or corrosion, leaking around the base, running out of hot water regularly or making strange noises is telling you where this is heading. Inconsistent temperatures and energy bills climbing on stable usage point the same way.
Replacing on your schedule costs less disruption than replacing the morning the tank splits, and it puts the choice of unit back in your hands.
If water is pooling around the unit, close the water supply valve and turn off the gas or electric supply to it before anything else. Then call us. Water heater failures get scheduled quickly, and catching a leak at a fitting early can be the difference between a repair and a replacement.
Yes, our technicians are trained to work on all major brands and models of tank water heaters, regardless of who installed the unit originally.
Sediment settling in the bottom of the tank takes up space that used to hold hot water and insulates the burner from it. A failed dip tube or a heating element that is no longer working at full output produces the same symptom. All three are worth diagnosing before assuming the tank is finished.
It depends on where the problem is. A fault in a valve, thermostat, element or fitting is usually a straightforward repair. Water coming from the tank body itself means the tank has failed and replacement is the only option. Our technicians tell you which one you are dealing with before any work starts.
For some homes, yes. Tankless units heat water on demand, take up far less space and do not run out during back-to-back showers, but they need suitable gas supply and venting. We look at your household's hot water demand and your existing setup before recommending either one.
