Introduction

🔥 Common Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair
Your water heater may be failing if you notice:
- No hot water
- Water takes too long to heat
- Fluctuating water temperature
- Strange noises from tank
- Leaking around heater
- Rusty or brown water
- Higher DEWA bill than usual
Ignoring these signs can lead to tank burst or electrical hazards.
⚠️ Causes of Water Heater Problems in Dubai
Most common reasons include:
- Sediment buildup due to hard water
- Faulty thermostat
- Heating element failure
- Electrical wiring issues
- Corrosion or rust inside tank
- Incorrect installation
- Lack of annual servicing
Dubai’s water quality speeds up scale formation, which damages heaters faster.
🔧 Repair or Replace – What Should You Do?
Here’s a quick rule:
- Minor issue → Repair
- Old heater (8–10+ years) → Replace
- Leaking tank → Replace immediately
- Electrical burning smell → Turn off power & call plumber
Attempting DIY electrical repairs can be dangerous.
