Tankless Water Heater Repair

Complete Water Heater Solutions

Our water heater services cover everything from emergency repairs on traditional tank systems to specialized tankless hot water heater repair. We work on all major brands and can handle both gas and electric units.

When we come out for a service call, we bring the tools and parts needed for most common repairs. That means less waiting around for parts to arrive and faster resolution of your hot water problems. For replacements, we help you choose the right size and efficiency level for your home and usage patterns.

We also understand that water heater problems don’t always happen during business hours. That’s why we offer emergency service when you need it most, because going without hot water isn’t really an option for most families.

Age is usually the biggest factor. Most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement often makes more financial sense. However, newer units with specific issues like a faulty heating element or thermostat can often be repaired cost-effectively. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the repair costs versus remaining lifespan of your current system.
The most obvious signs include no hot water, water that doesn’t get as hot as it used to, or hot water that runs out much faster than normal. You might also notice rusty or discolored water, strange noises like popping or rumbling, or water pooling around the base of the unit. Higher than usual energy bills can also indicate your water heater is working harder than it should. If you notice any of these issues, it’s worth having a professional take a look before you’re left with no hot water at all.
Most water heater repairs can be completed in 1-3 hours, depending on the specific problem and whether we have the necessary parts on our truck. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually done within an hour. More complex issues might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront. For water heater replacements, plan on 3-6 hours depending on whether any modifications to plumbing or electrical connections are needed. We work efficiently to get your hot water restored as quickly as possible.
Yes, we handle both tankless and traditional tank water heaters. Tankless units require different expertise and tools, but our technicians are trained on all the major brands and common issues. Tankless water heater repair often involves descaling, cleaning sensors, or addressing ventilation issues. We also install new tankless systems if you’re interested in upgrading from a traditional tank unit. Each type has its advantages, and we can help you understand which option works best for your home and hot water usage patterns.
First, turn off the power to your water heater – flip the circuit breaker for electric units or turn the gas valve to “off” for gas units. Then shut off the water supply to prevent more water from entering the tank. If there’s significant water, try to contain it with towels or buckets to prevent damage to flooring or nearby items. Don’t attempt to repair a leaking water heater yourself, as it involves both water and electricity or gas connections. Call for emergency service, as leaks typically get worse quickly and can cause water damage to your home.
Repair costs vary significantly based on what’s actually wrong with your unit. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element might cost a few hundred dollars, while more complex repairs involving multiple components can cost more. We provide upfront estimates before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Sometimes the repair costs approach what a replacement would cost, especially on older units, and we’ll be honest about when replacement makes more financial sense than repair.
