Hot Water Heater Repair Services

Your Hot Water Working Again

No more cold showers or waiting around for hot water. When your water heater stops working, it throws off your entire day – morning routines get disrupted, dishes pile up, and everyone’s schedule gets thrown into chaos.

You need someone who can diagnose the real problem quickly and fix it right the first time. Not someone who’s going to sell you a new unit when a simple repair would do, and not someone who’ll patch it up just to have it fail again next month.

Whether you’re dealing with a traditional tank system that’s acting up or a tankless unit that’s not heating properly, you want your hot water back without the runaround. That means honest assessment, transparent communication about what’s actually wrong, and repair work that actually lasts.

Water Heater Repair Process

How We Fix Your Water Heater

First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong with your system. This means checking the obvious stuff like pilot lights and thermostats, but also testing components that commonly fail but get overlooked by less experienced techs.

Once we know what’s broken, we explain the problem in plain terms and give you your options. Sometimes it’s a simple fix. Sometimes replacement makes more sense. We’ll tell you which is which and why.

If repair is the right call, we handle it efficiently with quality parts that last. If replacement is smarter, we’ll walk you through your options without pushing you toward the most expensive choice. Either way, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before any work starts.

What's Included In Our Service

Every service call includes complete system diagnosis, not just a quick look at the obvious problems. We test all the components that commonly fail – heating elements, thermostats, gas valves, venting systems, and safety controls.

You get upfront explanation of what we find and honest recommendations about repair versus replacement. We work on all major brands and both tank and tankless systems, so we can handle whatever you’ve got.

Our repairs come with warranty coverage, and we stock common parts on our trucks so most repairs get completed the same day. For Foxborough residents, we also offer our Dempsey Comfort Club membership for priority service and additional benefits.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

Age is the biggest factor – most tank water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units typically run 15-20 years. If your unit is approaching these ages and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than expensive repairs. However, if it’s newer and the issue is something like a failed heating element or thermostat, repair is typically the smart choice. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the unit’s age, condition, and what’s actually wrong with it.

What causes water heaters to stop working suddenly?

The most common culprits are failed heating elements in electric units, pilot light issues in gas units, or thermostat problems in both types. Tankless systems often have mineral buildup that blocks flow or sensors that need cleaning. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped breaker or gas supply issue. Sediment buildup in tank units can also cause heating problems and strange noises. Our diagnostic process checks all these common failure points to pinpoint exactly what’s causing your hot water problems.

How long does water heater repair usually take?

Most repairs take 1-3 hours depending on what’s wrong and whether we have the parts on our truck. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually done within an hour. More complex issues like gas valve replacement or tankless system descaling can take longer. We carry common repair parts with us, so the majority of repairs get completed the same day. If we need to order a part, we’ll let you know upfront and schedule a follow-up appointment once it arrives.

Can you repair tankless water heaters or just traditional tank units?

We repair both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Tankless units have different components and failure modes than tank systems, but our technicians are trained on both types. Common tankless repairs include descaling for mineral buildup, replacing flow sensors, fixing venting issues, and addressing error codes. We work on all major tankless brands and can handle both gas and electric models. The diagnostic approach is different, but we have the tools and experience to properly service tankless systems.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair service?

Yes, we provide same-day emergency service for water heater failures in Foxborough and throughout Norfolk County. We understand that losing hot water isn’t something you can wait days to fix, especially during cold weather or when you have family routines to maintain. Our emergency service covers both repair and replacement situations. If you’re a Dempsey Comfort Club member, you get priority scheduling for emergency calls. We’ll work to get your hot water restored as quickly as possible.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

First, turn off the power (breaker for electric units) or gas supply, then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the unit. If there’s significant water, start removing it to prevent damage to flooring or nearby items. Small leaks from fittings can sometimes be repaired, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is needed. Don’t ignore even small leaks – they typically get worse quickly. Call us for emergency service if you’re seeing water where it shouldn’t be, and we’ll assess whether it’s repairable or if you need a new unit.
