Complete Water Heater Services

Everything You Need Covered

We repair and replace all major water heater brands and types. Traditional tank systems, tankless units, gas, electric, hybrid models. If it heats water in your Holbrook home, we service it.

Common repairs include heating element replacement, thermostat issues, pilot light problems, and tank leaks. We stock parts for the most frequent repairs, so most jobs complete during the first visit.

When replacement makes more sense than repair, we handle the full installation. We’ll help you choose the right size and efficiency level for your home and usage patterns. Complete removal of your old unit and proper disposal included.

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 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. However, newer units with single issues like a bad heating element or thermostat are often worth repairing. We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with upfront costs, so you can make the best decision for your situation and budget.

What are the most common water heater problems in Holbrook?

In our area, we see a lot of sediment buildup due to mineral content in the local water supply, which reduces efficiency and can cause rumbling noises. Heating elements fail frequently in electric units, especially during heavy use periods. Gas units often have pilot light issues, particularly in older homes with ventilation problems. Tank corrosion is common in units over 8 years old. Cold weather also stresses the systems, leading to more frequent thermostat and pressure relief valve issues during winter months.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs in Holbrook take 1-3 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or relighting a pilot light can be done in under an hour. More complex repairs like heating element replacement or gas valve issues typically take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs during the first visit. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront and prioritize your job once the part arrives.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair service?

Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair throughout Holbrook and Norfolk County. We understand that losing hot water isn’t just inconvenient – it can be a real problem, especially during Massachusetts winters. We offer same-day service when possible and can often accommodate evening and weekend emergency calls. Emergency service does include additional fees, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront. For Dempsey Comfort Club members, emergency service comes with priority scheduling and reduced emergency fees.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

First, turn off the power to your water heater – flip the breaker for electric units or turn the gas valve to “off” for gas units. Then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank. If there’s significant water, start removing it with towels or a wet vacuum to prevent damage to your floors or belongings. Don’t attempt to repair a leaking tank yourself. Even small leaks can indicate internal corrosion that could lead to catastrophic failure. Call us immediately for emergency service – tank leaks usually require replacement, and waiting can cause expensive water damage to your home.

How can I prevent future water heater problems?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing most water heater problems. Flush your tank annually to remove sediment buildup, which is especially important in our area due to mineral content in the water. Check the pressure relief valve yearly and replace it if it’s not working properly. For gas units, keep the area around the unit clear and have the venting system inspected regularly. Consider joining our Dempsey Comfort Club for scheduled maintenance visits – we’ll handle the routine maintenance and catch small problems before they become expensive repairs or leave you without hot water.
