Q: We recently purchased an older home and have no idea how old the water heater is. When the water is heating up, we hear a loud bubbling sound as if the water is boiling. Is this normal?
In addition, it recently started giving off an odor resembling rotten eggs. We thought the pilot light was out, but it wasn't. We even called the fire department to check and they said it was fine.
Do you think our water heater is broken or defective?
A: Your water heater isn't broken or defective; it's probably just old and maybe worn out. more...
