Water Heater Repair & Installs

Water heaters provide hot water for showers, sinks, dishwashers, and laundry. This service covers fixing broken units or installing new ones.

Sediment buildup and internal corrosion can severely reduce efficiency and damage components long before failure becomes visible. Tank leaks usually indicate total vessel failure.

Common Misconceptions

  • “If it’s still heating water, it’s fine.”

  • “No leak means no problem.”

  • “All water heaters last 20+ years.”

A technical overview of water heaters

A water heater’s job is simple: heat water and store it (or heat it on demand) so it’s available throughout the home. Most residential water heaters fall into two categories: tank or tankless.

​

Tank water heaters heat a large volume of water and store it in an insulated tank. When someone uses hot water, it pulls from the tank and refills with cold water that gets reheated. Over time, parts wear out, sediment builds up, and efficiency decreases.

​

Tankless water heaters heat water only when it’s needed. They’re more energy-efficient and provide continuous hot water, but they’re more expensive upfront and require proper sizing and gas or electrical capacity.

​

Repairs usually involve replacing components like heating elements, thermostats, valves, or burners. Installation or replacement is recommended when:

  • The unit is leaking from the tank

  • The heater is over 10–15 years old

  • Repairs are frequent or costly

  • Energy efficiency has dropped significantly
     

Proper installation matters because water heaters involve pressure, heat, electricity or gas, and water all in one system. Poor installation can lead to leaks, scalding risks, or carbon monoxide issues.

Common Problems

  • No hot water or inconsistent temperature

  • Water takes too long to heat

  • Rust-colored or cloudy water

  • Leaks around the tank

  • Unusual noises (popping, rumbling)

Repair or Replace

  • Repair: Minor parts, thermostats, heating elements

  • Replacement: Old units (10–15 years), leaking tanks, rising energy costs

Services Can Include

  • Venting (atmospheric vs direct vent vs power vent)

  • Seismic strapping (where required)

  • Expansion tanks in closed systems

  • Drain pan and discharge routing
