One of the newest areas we cover

Lewis Center is not a city, so we use Census figures for its ZIP code, 43035. The median home there was built in 2005, and only about 5% date from before 1980. Many heaters are still the builder's originals. Have the label photo ready when you call, since a younger heater may still be under warranty.

Gas or electric

More electric heat than you might expect

About 72% of homes in the ZIP heat with gas and 27% with electricity. Electric water heaters usually fail at an element, a thermostat or the high-limit reset button. Gas heaters fail at the igniter, thermocouple or gas valve. Suburban Natural Gas lists an office in Lewis Center and says it serves over 9,500 residential customers in Delaware and Marion counties, while other homes here are on Columbia Gas.

Water

Del-Co water

Orange Township lists Del-Co Water as its water utility. Del-Co says its treated water is about 7 to 8 grains per gallon. That is moderate, but sediment still builds in a tank over time, so a rumbling heater is worth a flush or a check.

Before the plumber arrives

Safe steps for Lewis Center homes

  1. Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
  2. Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
  3. Gas smell? Get outside first. Then call 911 and whichever utility bills you for gas: Suburban Natural Gas (after hours 1-877-485-8223) or Columbia Gas (1-800-344-4077).

Questions

Lewis Center water heater questions

Is Suburban Natural Gas or Columbia Gas my utility in Lewis Center?

It depends on your street. Suburban, which has an office in Lewis Center, serves part of Delaware County and Columbia Gas serves other parts. Your gas bill will say.

Is my water heater still under warranty?

Check the label on the tank for the model and serial number. Warranty length depends on the model, so send a photo of the label when you call.

Who supplies water in Lewis Center?

Orange Township lists Del-Co Water as its water provider.

Do winters here affect my water heater?

Yes. NOAA's Westerville station, a few miles south, logs about 110 freezing nights a year. Colder incoming water makes the heater work harder, so weak parts often fail in the first cold snap.
