Signs to watch for:

• Water pooling at base of tank
• Spraying of water from any plumbing connections to the tank
• New rust stains on or around the water heater
• Hissing sound coming from tank

First turn off the cold-water supply to the water heater and then turn off the power supply to the water heater. Contact one of our qualified service technicians, who are available to service your tank from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on weekends. Please contact us at (506) 658-5252 or toll-free at 1-877-907-5550.

Leave adequate clearance around the tank for serviceability and to minimize damage if water sprays from a plumbing connection.

Install all water heaters within six feet of a floor drain so if the tank should leak, the resulting flow of water will not damage nearby property.

• Have your water heater set at a consistent temperature
• Test water temperature prior to entering bath or shower
• Supervise infants and small children around faucets
• Watch for sudden increases in water temperature when another faucet is turned on in a different area of the home

• Check to ensure all water heater fuses / breakers are operable
• Monitor daily usage to determine if the shortage of hot water is related to a specific event or time of day
• Check to see if your water heater has started to leak
