Hot Water Heater Repair Services

Complete Water Heater Solutions Available

We repair all major water heater brands, both traditional tank units and tankless systems. Gas, electric, hybrid – if it heats water in your home, we fix it.

Common repairs include heating element replacement, thermostat issues, pilot light problems, and leak repairs. We also handle more complex issues like control board failures and venting problems that other companies might miss.

When repair isn’t the right answer, we provide honest replacement recommendations. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling and special benefits on both repairs and new installations.

Age is 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 usually makes more financial sense than repeated repairs. However, newer units with single issues like a bad heating element or thermostat are almost always worth repairing. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest guidance based on the actual condition and repair costs versus replacement benefits.
In our area, we see heating element failures frequently due to mineral buildup from local water conditions. Thermostat issues are also common, especially in units that work harder during New England winters. Pilot light problems affect many gas water heaters, particularly in basements where drafts or ventilation issues interfere with proper operation. Sediment buildup causes rumbling noises and reduced efficiency in older units. We also handle quite a few expansion tank failures and pressure relief valve issues that can cause water damage if not addressed quickly.
Most common repairs like heating element or thermostat replacement take 1-2 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple fixes like relighting pilot lights or adjusting settings can be done in 30 minutes or less. More complex repairs involving control boards, gas line issues, or venting problems might take 3-4 hours. We carry common parts on every truck, so we can complete most repairs the same day without waiting for special orders. If we do need to order parts, we’ll explain the timeline upfront and discuss temporary solutions if possible.
Yes, we work on both tankless and traditional tank water heaters, including gas, electric, and hybrid models. Tankless units require different expertise – they have more complex electronics and specific maintenance needs that not all companies understand properly. We’re trained on the major tankless brands and stock their common replacement parts. Traditional tank units are more straightforward but still require proper diagnosis to avoid unnecessary part replacement. Whether you have a 40-gallon electric tank or a high-efficiency tankless system, we have the experience to diagnose and repair it correctly.
Turn off the power (electric) or gas supply immediately, then shut off the water supply to the unit – there should be a valve on the cold water line entering the top of the tank. If water is pooling, try to contain it with towels or buckets to prevent damage to flooring or nearby items. Don’t attempt to repair leaks yourself, as water heaters operate under pressure and involve electricity or gas connections. Call us right away for emergency service. Small leaks from fittings or the pressure relief valve might be repairable, but tank leaks usually mean replacement is needed. We’ll assess the situation and explain your options clearly.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your unit. Simple fixes like thermostat adjustment or pilot light issues are relatively inexpensive. Component replacement like heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves falls in the moderate range. Complex repairs involving control boards, venting modifications, or multiple component failures cost more but are still usually less than replacement. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members receive special pricing and priority service. We’ll always be honest about whether repair makes financial sense compared to replacement.
