Old Lyme questions
Rumbling usually means sediment has built up in the tank, common with Old Lyme well water. A flush may quiet it if the tank is not too far gone. If the noise continues or the tank is old, it may be near the end of its life. We check and advise.
Pilot, thermocouple or igniter usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, and electric element or thermostat takes about 1 to 2 hours. Old Lyme is about 20 minutes from our shop, so the drive adds little to your visit. We confirm the time with you when you book.
Sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under it boils and pops as the burner or element heats. A flush can help if the tank is not too old. On older tanks, heavy sediment can mean the tank is close to the end of its life.
