What's Included in Service

You get comprehensive water heater service that covers traditional tank units, tankless systems, and hybrid models. Our diagnostic process identifies whether you’re dealing with heating elements, thermostats, gas valves, venting issues, or something else entirely.

For Halifax homes, we understand the local water conditions and how they affect different types of systems. Hard water can be tough on heating elements. Older homes sometimes need electrical or gas line considerations for replacements.

Emergency repairs get priority response because we know you can’t wait days for hot water. Regular maintenance through the Dempsey Comfort Club helps catch problems early and extends your system’s life. Whether it’s a quick fix or a full replacement, you get clear communication about timeline, costs, and what to expect.

Most water heater repairs in Halifax can be completed the same day you call, especially for common issues like faulty heating elements or thermostats. Emergency situations get priority scheduling. The actual repair time depends on the problem – simple fixes might take an hour, while more complex issues or parts replacement could take several hours. We keep common parts in stock to avoid delays, and if a special order is needed, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront.
If your water heater is over 10 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement usually makes more sense financially. Newer units are more energy efficient and reliable. However, if your system is relatively new and the repair is minor, fixing it is often the better choice. Our technician will assess your specific situation, including the age of your unit, the cost of repairs, and your household’s hot water needs, then give you honest recommendations based on what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Yes, Dempsey Energy services all types of tankless water heaters, including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless systems have different maintenance and repair needs than traditional tank units – they require regular descaling due to mineral buildup, and their electronic components need specialized knowledge. Common tankless issues include flow sensor problems, ignition failures, and mineral buildup affecting performance. Our technicians are trained on these systems and carry the specific parts and tools needed for proper tankless water heater service.
In Halifax, the most common water heater problems are heating element failure in electric units, thermostat issues, and sediment buildup from local water conditions. Gas units sometimes develop problems with the pilot light or gas valve. Age is a major factor – most water heaters last 8-12 years before needing replacement. Hard water accelerates wear on internal components. Lack of regular maintenance, like flushing sediment annually, also shortens lifespan. Winter cold snaps can sometimes affect units in unheated basements or garages.
Water heater repair costs vary depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement are less expensive than major component failures. Our technician provides a clear diagnostic and cost estimate before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We don’t believe in surprise charges or hidden fees. For customers in the Dempsey Comfort Club, there are additional benefits and priority service. The goal is always to give you the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
Water heater maintenance includes flushing sediment from the tank, testing heating elements and thermostats, checking the pressure relief valve, inspecting connections and venting, and testing overall system performance. For tankless units, maintenance includes descaling to remove mineral buildup and checking electronic components. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected failures and extends your water heater’s lifespan. Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling for maintenance visits and discounts on repairs when needed. It’s preventive care that saves money and headaches in the long run.
