Everything Your Water Heater Needs

We handle both traditional tank water heaters and modern tankless systems. Whether you need a simple thermostat replacement or a complete unit swap, we have the experience and parts to get it done.

Our service includes thorough system inspection, component testing, and performance optimization. We don’t just fix the immediate problem – we check for other issues that could cause trouble down the road.

For Rehoboth homeowners dealing with the area’s hard water conditions, we also address mineral buildup and corrosion issues that commonly affect water heater performance and lifespan.

Age is the biggest factor. Most tank 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 sense than repeated repairs. Other signs pointing toward replacement include rusty water, strange noises, leaks around the base, or dramatically higher energy bills. However, newer units with single component failures like a bad heating element or thermostat are usually worth repairing.
Hard water is the biggest culprit in our area. Mineral deposits build up inside the tank and on heating elements, reducing efficiency and eventually causing failures. Sediment buildup at the bottom of tank units is extremely common here. Age-related component wear affects thermostats, heating elements, and gas valves. In older Rehoboth homes, we also see issues from improper installation or inadequate venting. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these problems, but once they start, professional repair is usually needed.
Most common repairs like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves take 1-3 hours once we have the right parts. Simple fixes like relighting pilot lights or adjusting settings can be done in under an hour. More complex issues involving multiple components or tank flushing might take half a day. We carry common parts on our trucks, so most repairs happen during the first visit. If we need to order specialty parts for older or unusual units, we’ll let you know upfront about any delays.
Yes, we service all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and others. Common tankless repairs include descaling for mineral buildup, replacing flow sensors, fixing ignition problems, and clearing error codes. Tankless units require different expertise than traditional tanks, but our technicians are trained on both systems. We also handle the annual maintenance that tankless manufacturers recommend, which is especially important in Bristol County due to our hard water conditions.
We provide same-day service for water heater emergencies throughout Rehoboth and Bristol County. Complete loss of hot water, gas leaks, or water leaking from your unit qualify as emergencies that we prioritize. We understand that families can’t go days without hot water, especially during cold weather. Our emergency service includes evenings and weekends when needed. We’ll assess the situation quickly and either get your system running again or arrange for temporary solutions while planning a replacement.
First, turn off the power to electric units or the gas supply to gas units. Then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank to prevent more water from entering. If there’s significant water on the floor, try to contain it and move anything valuable away from the area. Don’t attempt to repair leaks yourself – water and electricity or gas can be dangerous combinations. Call us immediately for emergency service. Small leaks can sometimes be repaired, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is needed.
