What we see

Common water heater problems in Maryland

Townhouses and tight closets. Many homes around Annapolis and Odenton have water heaters in small closets. Clearance, venting and access matter for a repair or replacement.

Tanks past their prime. A lot of suburbs here were built out in the 1980s and 1990s, and many homes are on their second or third heater.

Humid summers, corroded parts. Basement humidity can rust burner parts, valves and fittings on gas heaters over time.

Winter

Central Maryland winters are milder than New England, but cold snaps still hit hard.

Water

Water ranges from soft to moderately hard depending on whether a town uses public water or wells.

Gas service

BGE and Washington Gas

Before the plumber arrives

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  2. Turn off the gas valve or the breaker.
  3. Smell gas? Leave the house and call your gas company or 911 from outside.
Why winter is hard on heaters

Cold water in, more work for your heater

When the ground freezes, the water coming into the tank can be 40°F or colder. Your heater runs longer for every shower, and a worn thermocouple, element or sediment-packed tank is often the first thing to quit in Maryland.

Questions

Maryland water heater questions

Which towns do you cover in Maryland?

We cover the Annapolis and Baltimore suburbs, including Annapolis, Severn, Severna Park, Odenton, Arnold and nearby towns. Call and we'll check your address.

Why do water heaters fail more in winter?

Colder incoming water makes the heater run longer and harder. Weak parts and sediment-packed tanks tend to fail during the first cold weeks.

Is it worth repairing an old water heater?

If the tank leaks, or it is about 10 or more years old and needs a big repair, replacement is usually the better value. A younger heater with one failed part is usually worth fixing.
