Water Heater Services We Offer
We work on most major brands and common residential configurations, including:
- Gas water heaters
- Electric water heaters
- Tank-style units
- Tankless units (where already installed)
- Garage, basement, closet, and attic installations
Our technicians can help you decide whether repair or replacement is the better option based on age, condition, and performance.
Repair vs. Replace — What Makes Sense for You?
Not sure if you should fix your current heater or invest in a new one? We'll walk you through the options and explain clearly so you can make a confident decision.
You May Be a Good Candidate for Repair If:
- The water heater is under 8-10 years old (tank-style)
- The issue appears to be with a thermostat, element, igniter, or minor component
- You haven't had repeated issues with the same unit
- There are no signs of tank corrosion or major leaks
Replacement Often Makes More Sense When:
- The tank is leaking from the body (not a connection or valve)
- The heater is at or beyond its typical lifespan
- Repairs are becoming frequent or costly
- You're experiencing inconsistent temperatures and poor performance
- There are signs of advanced rust or corrosion
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service
Call us if you notice:
- No hot water or water that turns cold quickly
- Water that's only lukewarm despite a high setting
- Popping, banging, or rumbling noises from the tank
- Rust-colored or dirty-looking hot water
- Water pooling around the base of the heater
- A burning smell or signs of scorching near the unit
These signs often point to sediment buildup, failing components, or tank deterioration.
Our Water Heater Service Process
Phone Call & Scheduling
We answer calls around the clock and book a 2-hour appointment window, Monday through Friday — often the same day when available.
On-Site Inspection
A licensed technician inspects the heater, checks connections, evaluates age and condition, and discusses any issues you've noticed.
Diagnosis & Options
We explain whether repair or replacement is the more practical choice, including pros, cons, and estimated cost ranges.
Clear, Upfront Pricing
You’ll receive a straightforward estimate before we begin work.
Repair or Replacement
Upon your approval, we complete the repair or install a new heater sized and configured for your home.
Testing & Clean-Up
We verify proper operation, check for leaks, and leave the work area clean.
New Water Heater Installation & Replacement
If a replacement is needed, we'll help you choose a unit that fits your home and budget.
We consider:
- Number of bathrooms and occupants
- Typical hot water usage patterns
- Space and venting requirements
- Energy efficiency preferences
- Existing gas or electric setup
We install high-quality water heaters from trusted manufacturers and configure them to code and best practices.
What About Leaks Near the Water Heater?
Sometimes homeowners first notice a leak around the heater area.
We don't offer leak detection as a standalone specialty service, but our technicians are trained to locate many common leaks during a service visit and can repair or replace the affected lines the same day in most cases.
If the leak is coming from the tank itself, replacement is typically the safest and most reliable option. If it's from a valve, fitting, or nearby line, we'll recommend appropriate repairs.
Water Heater Maintenance & Longevity
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and improve performance.
Recommended Maintenance:
- Periodic tank flushing to help reduce sediment
- Checking and, when appropriate, replacing the anode rod
- Inspecting connections and shutoff valves
- Ensuring proper venting and clearances
