Our Water Heater Repair Process

Here's What Happens Next

First, we’ll ask you a few questions about what’s happening with your water heater. Is there no hot water at all? Lukewarm water? Strange sounds? This helps us bring the right tools and parts.

When we arrive, we’ll inspect your entire system—not just the obvious problem. We check the heating elements, thermostat, connections, and venting. Many water heater issues stem from problems that aren’t immediately visible.

Once we identify the issue, we’ll explain what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it. If it’s a simple repair, we’ll handle it on the spot. If your unit needs replacement, we’ll walk you through your options for both traditional and tankless systems.

You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no coming back next week for the same problem.

Everything Your Water Heater Needs

We handle repairs on all types of water heaters—gas, electric, tankless, and traditional tank units. Whether you need a quick fix or a complete replacement, we’ve got the experience to handle it properly.

Emergency service is available when your water heater decides to quit at the worst possible time. We understand that some problems can’t wait until Monday morning, especially during New England winters.

Our Dempsey Comfort Club gives you priority scheduling and maintenance reminders to catch problems before they become emergencies. Regular maintenance extends your water heater’s life and keeps it running efficiently, which saves you money on energy bills and prevents unexpected breakdowns.

If your water heater is less than 8-10 years old and the problem is isolated (like a faulty heating element or thermostat), repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re dealing with multiple issues, frequent repairs, or a unit that’s over 10 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the condition of your unit, not what makes us the most money.
Tankless units work well for many Dighton homes, especially if you have limited space or want endless hot water. They’re more energy-efficient and last longer than traditional tanks. However, they have higher upfront costs and may require electrical or gas line upgrades. The best choice depends on your home’s setup, your hot water usage patterns, and your budget. We’ll help you understand the real pros and cons for your specific situation.
Most water heater “sudden” failures actually have warning signs that get ignored. Inconsistent temperatures, longer heating times, strange noises, or small leaks around the base are all early indicators. The heating elements, thermostats, and internal components wear out gradually, then fail completely. Regular maintenance catches these issues early, but once a major component fails, it often triggers a cascade of problems that make the whole unit unreliable.
Simple repairs like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take 1-2 hours. More complex issues involving multiple components or access challenges can take half a day. Water heater replacement typically takes 3-4 hours for a standard swap, but can take longer if we need to update connections, venting, or electrical work to meet current codes. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Those sounds usually mean sediment has built up at the bottom of your tank. As water heats up, it has to bubble through this sediment layer, creating the popping and rumbling. This isn’t just annoying—it makes your water heater work harder and less efficiently. Flushing the tank can help if caught early, but heavy sediment buildup often means your heating elements are also damaged and need replacement.
Yes, we provide emergency service for urgent water heater problems. Complete loss of hot water, gas leaks, or water leaking from your unit are situations that need immediate attention. We understand that some problems can’t wait, especially during cold weather when a water heater failure affects your entire home’s comfort and functionality. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’ll always discuss costs upfront.
