What shapes water heater trouble in Hayden
Who supplies your water?
The City of Hayden says it does not provide water service and points residents to the Spokane Aquifer Joint Board to look up their supplier. Districts serving parts of Hayden include the Hayden Lake Irrigation District and Avondale Irrigation District.
You don't need to know your district to get a water heater fixed. It helps if the plumber needs to shut off water at the street, and your bill will tell you.
A real mix of fuels
About 65% of Hayden homes heat with gas and about 30% with electricity. The city lists Avista for natural gas. Gas heaters tend to fail at the pilot, thermocouple or gas valve. Electric ones fail at an element, thermostat or the high-limit reset.
Homes from every decade
The median Hayden home was built in 1997. About 21% were built before 1980 and about 40% in 2000 or later. In an older home, the shutoff valve and connectors may be as old as the house and worth replacing at the same visit.
Safe steps for Hayden homes
- Leaking? Close the cold water valve on top of the tank.
- Turn off the gas valve or the breaker for the heater.
- Gas smell? Avista serves Hayden. Leave the house, call 911 from outside, then Avista at 800-227-9187.
