Local water heater repair for Franklin homes
In Franklin, as in the rest of New London County, water heaters work hardest in winter, when cold incoming water makes them run longer. That's when weak parts tend to fail. We take calls from every part of town, including North Franklin.
Without natural gas on most roads in Franklin, hot water usually comes from an electric tank, a propane unit or the home's oil boiler. Each one fails in its own way, so tell us which you have when you call.
Many Franklin homes draw water from private wells. Well water often carries sediment, iron or minerals that settle at the bottom of a tank, cause popping and rumbling, bury electric elements and shorten the tank's life. A sulfur or rotten-egg smell from the hot water is also more common with well water; it usually comes from a reaction with the anode rod. Annual flushing and the right anode rod go a long way.
Homes in Franklin are spread out, so travel times can be longer than in the cities. Calling early in the day gives you the best shot at a same-day visit.
Franklin is one of 124 communities in our water heater repair services statewide network, so the same simple process applies here: one call, one local pro.
