Everything Your Water Heater Needs

We handle all types of water heater problems, from traditional tank units to modern tankless systems. Whether you’re dealing with no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, or visible leaks, we have the experience to fix it properly.

Franklin’s hard water can be tough on water heaters, causing sediment buildup and premature component failure. We know which parts typically fail first in this area and keep them stocked. That means faster repairs and fewer callbacks.

Our service includes a thorough inspection of your entire system, not just the obvious problem. We’ll spot potential issues before they leave you without hot water and explain maintenance steps that extend your water heater’s life. Members of our Dempsey Comfort Club get priority scheduling and additional benefits.

Most water heater repairs in Franklin are completed the same day you call. We stock common parts on our service trucks and can typically diagnose and fix standard issues during the initial visit. For more complex problems or specialty parts, we’ll give you an honest timeline upfront. Emergency situations get priority scheduling, and we offer after-hours service when you can’t wait until the next business day. The key is calling as soon as you notice a problem rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
Call for water heater repair if you’re getting no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, or water that takes much longer to heat up than usual. Strange noises like popping, crackling, or rumbling sounds indicate sediment buildup or component problems. Visible water around the base of your unit, rusty or discolored hot water, and unusually high energy bills are also clear signs something’s wrong. Don’t ignore these warning signs—most water heater problems get worse quickly and can cause water damage if left untreated.
Yes, we repair all types of water heaters including traditional tank units, tankless systems, and hybrid models. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and stay current with the latest technology. Tankless water heater repair requires different expertise than tank units, and we have the specialized tools and knowledge for both. Whether your system is gas, electric, or propane-powered, we can diagnose the problem and get it working properly again.
This depends on your water heater’s age, the extent of the problem, and repair costs versus replacement costs. Generally, if your unit is over 8-10 years old and needs major component replacement, replacement might make more sense. We’ll give you honest advice about whether a repair is worth it or if you’re better off investing in a new system. Factors like energy efficiency, warranty coverage, and your long-term plans for the home all play into this decision. We’ll explain your options without pressure so you can make the choice that’s right for your situation.
Water heater repair costs vary depending on what’s wrong and which components need replacement. Simple fixes like thermostat adjustments or heating element replacement are less expensive than major component failures. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Most homeowners find that professional repair costs significantly less than emergency replacement, especially when you catch problems early.
Franklin’s hard water is tough on water heaters, causing mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens equipment life. Sediment accumulation at the bottom of tank units is common and causes overheating, strange noises, and premature failure. Age is another major factor—most water heaters last 8-12 years with proper maintenance. Lack of regular maintenance, incorrect installation, and power fluctuations also contribute to premature failure. Regular flushing and professional maintenance can help prevent many of these issues and extend your water heater’s lifespan significantly.
