Chattanooga, TN is a frigid and icy place during the winter months. It can be the worst time to need a water heater repair. Waking up to an icy shower or bath can ruin your day before it even begins. There are multiple reasons why you might need a repair.

Metro Plumbing, Heating, and Air has been serving the friendly community since 1989. We have earned a reputation for the technicians who are experts in their field and offer the highest quality work at transparent and affordable prices.

What Causes a Water Heater to Breakdown?

We at Metro Plumbing, highly recommend that you have an annual subscription service that checks all your heating appliances, vents, air conditioners, and water heaters to make sure there is not a small problem left over time to become a very big problem and potentially an unneeded expense.

It might sound like a luxury to hire Metro Plumbing to perform HVAC and water heater checks on a semi or annual basis, but what we hear from our subscribers is that their energy bills are consistent and lower than before the annual checks, and it turns out that they saved more than the cost of the Metro Plumbing HVAC and water heater repair subscription!

Once or twice a year (depending on your needs) one of our many skilled technicians will thoroughly inspect every HVAC appliance in your home or office. Water heater repair can become a separate service depending on the state of the issue. Older water heaters are prone to needing frequent repairs.

This type of service makes sure that you are getting the most out of your appliances and helping them function efficiently and properly as long as possible. Knowing your expensive and necessary household appliances are looked after on a routine basis will give you peace of mind and ensure that your unit is also saving you money on energy bills.

Big, Red Flags to Keep an Eye Out For!!!

Every once in a while, a machine will not have been manufactured correctly or the installation could have gone awry. It can take some time for these mistakes to show up and affect your routine but eventually, they will.

The most faithfully maintained appliances whether they are a heating source, vent, air conditioner, and water heater repair is necessary periodically. There are a few things to watch out for that may save you some money and hassle.

-Watch for things like –

• Unexpectedly large energy bills
• The flow of the air is very weak
• Poor air quality
• Mold-like scents coming from the HVAC
• Any water surrounding the water heater, if you discover this schedule a water heater repair as soon as you can because the water can damage your flooring, walls, and even the foundation of your home.

Why Is HVAC and Water Heater Repair So Complex?

The acronym HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioners that are appliances that are often bulky and unattractive, and architects design buildings to purposefully hide these less than aesthetically pleasing but necessary creature comforts. When a heating source, vents, or water heater repair is necessary, the job becomes invasive and can impact your daily routine depending on the nature of the repair.

Inside you will find the evaporator coil, furnace, thermostats, compressor, and ventilation shafts which carry the hot or cold airflow. The water heater tends to be the most accessible unit because it is the appliance that requires the most maintenance and review. HVAC appliances that are outside include the condenser and cooling fins. Coolant lines carry the coolant around the airflow system. There are many working parts to each of these components, and all potentially could go wrong.

Customer Reviews for Metro Plumbing and Air

“We moved to Chattanooga, TN in 1991, and during the second winter, we lived here the hot water heater made a reverberating thump that announced its death. We called around and finally found Metro Plumbing and Air who agreed to come and give us a free estimate of what it would take to fix the unit and back then that was rare. Each of the companies I’d called for charged between $20 to $50 just to look at the problem and even then, they wouldn’t be able to fix it right away.

I was at my wit’s end with trying to get the water heater fixed until a nice lady answered the phone at Metro Plumbing and Air. I called first thing in the morning and by 1 pm a smiling technician was at my house asking to see the water heater.

Unfortunately, the water heater repair would have been a waste. The technician estimated that the water heater was over 20 years old and a water heater repair was pointless. He did help us pick a new unit that was more environmentally friendly (even back then!) and would save us money and water. It took an afternoon to get the whole installation completed. The technician cleaned up after himself!

We have never called another plumber or HVAC company since 1991. For 20 years we have been dedicated customers to Metro Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning to fix any of our home’s essential appliances.

In fact, this year we had to replace the first water heater that Metro installed for us. We are semi-annual subscribers for their HVAC and water heater checks (my wife did a little research and found out that the brand we bought 20 years ago had an average life span of 14 years)!

We got an extra six years out of an appliance due to the affordability and due diligence of the Metro Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning team. If you are having issues with any HVAC appliance do not hesitate to call this company because it is the very best in Chattanooga!”
