Know the Signs
Common State Issues We See
No hot water on an electric model. Usually a tripped high-limit switch or a failed upper heating element.
The gas pilot won't stay lit. A worn thermocouple or thermopile is the most common cause on State's gas tanks.
Water heats slower than it used to. Can point to a failing lower element or sediment buildup reducing tank efficiency.
A metallic taste or discoloration in hot water. Often linked to anode rod wear, which is a simple, inexpensive fix.
The unit is leaking from a fitting at the top. Usually a loose or failing supply line connection rather than the tank itself — an easy repair.
