Our technicians handle every aspect of the installation, including the secure disconnection and removal of your old unit, precise placement of the new one, and expert connection of all water, gas, or electrical lines according to strict safety codes. We ensure proper venting for gas models and test the entire system to confirm it is operating at peak efficiency before completing the job.

Expert Water Heater Repair for Any Issue

A malfunctioning water heater can present itself in many ways. Our skilled technicians are adept at diagnosing the root cause of any problem and implementing effective, lasting repairs. We address all common and complex water heater issues to restore your hot water supply quickly.

No Hot Water or Insufficient Heat

One of the most common complaints is a complete lack of hot water or water that doesn't get hot enough. This can be caused by a variety of issues, depending on your system. For electric models, a failed heating element or a faulty thermostat is often the culprit. In gas heaters, the problem could stem from a pilot light that has gone out, a malfunctioning thermocouple, or a faulty gas control valve. Our technicians will systematically test these components to pinpoint the failure and perform the necessary repair or replacement.

A Leaking Water Heater

A leak is one of the most serious water heater problems and requires immediate attention to prevent significant water damage to your property. Leaks can originate from several places, including inlet or outlet connections, the temperature and pressure (TPR) relief valve, a drain valve, or the tank itself. While loose connections can often be tightened, a leak from the tank body itself, usually caused by internal corrosion, is a sign that the unit has failed and must be replaced.

Strange Noises: Rumbling, Popping, or Banging

If your water heater is making loud rumbling or popping sounds, it is typically a sign of excessive sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the water heats, it gets trapped under this layer of mineral deposits, causing it to boil and create the noises you hear. This not only reduces efficiency and increases energy costs but also puts stress on the tank. A professional tank flushing service can remove this sediment, restore quiet operation, and extend the life of your heater.

Discolored or Foul-Smelling Water

Rusty, brown, or smelly water coming from your hot water taps is a clear indicator of a problem within your water heater. This is often caused by a failing anode rod, a crucial component that sacrifices itself to prevent the tank's steel lining from corroding. Once the anode rod is depleted, the tank begins to rust from the inside out. In some cases, smelly water can be caused by bacteria in the tank. We can diagnose the cause, replace the anode rod, and flush the system to restore clear, clean hot water.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Water Heater

Making the decision between repairing an ailing water heater and investing in a new one can be challenging. We provide honest guidance based on several key factors to help you make the most cost-effective choice.

•  Age: A standard storage-tank water heater has an average lifespan of 8 to 12 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this age range, replacement is often the wiser long-term investment. Tankless models, in contrast, can last 20 years or more.
•  Cost of Repair: Consider the cost of the repair relative to the price of a new unit. If a major repair, such as replacing the tank itself, costs a significant fraction of a replacement, investing in a new, more efficient model is usually the better financial decision.
•  Frequency of Problems: If you have had to call for repairs multiple times in the last year or two, it is a strong indication that the unit is nearing the end of its functional life. Continual repairs can quickly add up and become more expensive than a one-time replacement.
•  Performance and Efficiency: An older water heater will be less energy-efficient than a new model. Upgrading can lead to noticeable savings on your monthly utility bills, helping to offset the initial cost of the new unit over time.

The Importance of Routine Water Heater Maintenance

Proactive maintenance is the single best way to maximize your water heater's lifespan, ensure its efficiency, and prevent unexpected, costly breakdowns. An annual professional tune-up keeps your system in top condition. Our comprehensive maintenance service includes flushing the tank to remove performance-inhibiting sediment, inspecting and testing the anode rod to prevent corrosion, testing the TPR valve to ensure this critical safety feature is functional, and checking all connections for signs of wear or potential leaks. Regular maintenance keeps your system running smoothly and safely, providing you with peace of mind.
