Hot Water When You Need It: Hot water is essential for comfort and sanitation – from warm showers to clean laundry and dishes. Our water heater services ensure you never have to endure a cold shower or worry about running out of hot water. We repair all makes and models of water heaters (both tank-style and tankless), and we also offer professional installation when it’s time for a new unit. Whether your water heater is gas or electric, a small 40-gallon tank or a high-capacity commercial heater, our technicians have the expertise to keep it running efficiently or replace it with a modern, energy-efficient model.

Common Water Heater Problems: Water heaters can experience a variety of issues as they age or if they’re poorly maintained. Some common problems we resolve include:

• No Hot Water or Insufficient Hot Water: If you’re suddenly getting only cold water or the hot water runs out way too quickly, it could be a failed heating element (in electric heaters), a broken dip tube, a thermostat issue, or sediment buildup reducing the tank’s capacity.
• Inconsistent Water Temperature: Water that is scalding hot one minute and cold the next can indicate a faulty thermostat, a failing gas control valve, or improper sizing for your usage needs.
• Pilot Light Keeps Going Out: Gas water heaters may have pilot light issues due to a bad thermocouple or draft issues. Without the pilot, the burner won’t ignite and you’ll have no hot water.
• Leaks Around the Heater: Water pooling at the base of the heater could be from a leaking tank (due to internal corrosion) or a faulty T&P relief valve or a plumbing connection. A rusted tank that leaks is usually a sign the water heater needs replacement (as it can’t be repaired once the inner tank is compromised).
• Strange Noises: Loud popping, rumbling, or banging noises from the tank are often due to sediment buildup at the bottom. The sediment traps water which turns to steam and pops. While not dangerous, it indicates your heater is working harder and less efficiently. Flushing the tank can help, which we can perform as maintenance.
• Discolored or Smelly Hot Water: Reddish-brown tint in hot water can mean rust inside the tank, possibly from a failing anode rod or tank lining. A “rotten egg” sulfur smell often points to bacteria reacting with the anode rod in the tank. We can address these by replacing components or performing a sanitation flush of the heater.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s wise to call us sooner rather than later. Sometimes a minor repair or adjustment is all that’s needed if caught early (for example, replacing a bad thermocouple to keep the pilot lit, or flushing sediment). Left unaddressed, water heater problems can escalate – a small leak can turn into a burst tank, or a failing part can cause the heater to stop working at the most inconvenient time.

Repair or Replace? Our water heater technicians will carefully inspect your unit to diagnose the problem. We always look for a cost-effective repair first. We carry common replacement parts and can often fix issues on the spot, getting your hot water back in no time. However, if your heater is old (typically 10-15 years or more), or the tank is leaking/rusted, replacement is usually the better choice for the long term. We’ll give you honest advice on this. When replacement is recommended, we’ll help you select the right new water heater that fits your household or business needs. Factors to consider include size (capacity), energy source (gas/electric), energy efficiency, and whether to go tankless for endless hot water. We can install traditional tank water heaters of all sizes, or modern tankless water heaters for on-demand hot water and energy savings.

Our Installation & Maintenance: If you choose a new water heater, our installation service covers everything: safely disconnecting and removing the old unit, delivering and hooking up the new heater with proper venting (for gas) and new water connections, and testing it to ensure it’s working perfectly. We make sure all safety measures are in place – for example, verifying the pressure relief valve and seismic strapping (in required areas) are properly installed. We’ll also haul away the old unit for recycling so you don’t have to worry about it.

For tankless water heaters, our team is trained in sizing and installing these units, including any necessary upgrades (like gas line sizing or venting) to support the high-BTU burners tankless systems use. Going tankless can be a great investment for high-rise condo units or large families, as it provides continuous hot water and can lower energy bills, since you’re not keeping a tank hot when not in use.

We also offer routine maintenance services for water heaters, such as flushing sediment from tank heaters and checking the anode rod, or descaling tankless heaters. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and ensure it’s operating safely and efficiently.

Customer Satisfaction and Benefits: When your water heater is repaired or a new one installed by us, you’ll immediately notice the difference. Enjoy reliable hot water for showers, cleaning, and cooking – no more sudden cold surprises. A properly functioning water heater also operates more efficiently, which can save on energy costs. If you upgrade to a newer or tankless model, the energy savings and performance gains can be significant. We ensure our installations meet all local codes and quality standards, giving you confidence and often improved warranty coverage (many new heaters have longer warranties when installed by a professional).

Perhaps most importantly, we stand behind our work. Our water heater repairs come with a service warranty, and new installations often include manufacturer warranties that we honor and help facilitate if there’s ever an issue. We want you to be completely satisfied – that means hot water dependable every day, and a safe system you don’t have to think twice about. With our friendly plumbers only a phone call away, you can rest assured that if your shower turns cold or your heater shows any sign of trouble, we’ll be there quickly to make it right, with professionalism and a smile.
