Complete Water Heater Solutions

Full Service Water Heating

Every service call includes complete system diagnosis, not just a quick fix. Our technician checks heating elements, thermostats, gas connections, venting, and safety systems. You get a clear picture of your water heater’s overall condition.

Dover homes often have older water heaters that develop sediment buildup, corroded components, or efficiency issues. We handle these common problems along with emergency repairs like failed heating elements, faulty gas valves, or thermostat malfunctions.

For tankless water heater repair, our service includes descaling, filter cleaning, and component testing. Whether you have a traditional tank system or a modern tankless unit, our repair comes with parts and labor warranties.

Most water heater repairs in Dover happen the same day you call, especially for emergencies. We keep common repair parts stocked and prioritize calls where customers have no hot water. During busy periods or severe weather, response time might extend to next day, but you’ll know the schedule when you call. Emergency situations like gas leaks or flooding get immediate attention regardless of time or day.
It depends on the unit’s age, condition, and repair cost. Water heaters typically last 8-12 years for traditional tanks and 15-20 years for tankless units. If your water heater is over 10 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense. We’ll assess your specific situation, explain repair costs versus replacement benefits, and let you decide. We won’t pressure you either way – just give you the information you need to choose wisely.
Yes, we regularly service all types of tankless water heaters including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless units require different expertise than traditional tank water heaters, especially for issues like mineral buildup, venting problems, or electronic control failures. Our technicians carry specialized tools and parts for tankless water heater repair and understand the specific maintenance these systems need to operate efficiently in Dover’s water conditions.
All water heater repairs come with warranties on both parts and labor. If the same problem returns within the warranty period, we’ll return to fix it at no additional charge. Most quality repairs last for years when done correctly with proper parts. We use manufacturer-approved components and follow industry best practices to ensure repairs hold up. If a related issue develops later, we’ll explain what’s different about the new problem and how it relates to the previous work.
Water heater repair costs vary based on the specific problem, parts needed, and labor involved. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement typically cost less than major component repairs like heating element or gas valve replacement. You’ll receive an upfront estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying and why. The estimate includes all labor, parts, and applicable warranties. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is completed.
Regular maintenance significantly reduces water heater breakdowns and extends system life. The Dempsey Comfort Club includes annual water heater maintenance that catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. Maintenance includes flushing sediment, testing safety systems, checking electrical connections, and inspecting venting. Members get priority scheduling for repairs and discounts on service calls. Even without a maintenance plan, we’ll point out potential issues during repairs and suggest preventive steps you can take.
