Full-Service Water Heater Solutions

Our water heater repair service covers both traditional tank units and modern tankless systems. We handle everything from simple thermostat replacements to complex heating element repairs, gas valve issues, and venting problems that can affect performance and safety.

When repair isn’t the best option, we provide complete water heater replacement services. This includes helping you choose between tank and tankless options, proper sizing for your household’s hot water demands, and professional installation that meets all local codes and manufacturer requirements.

Medfield homes often deal with hard water issues that can shorten water heater lifespan. We address these problems during our service calls and can recommend solutions that protect your investment. Our Dempsey Comfort Club membership also provides ongoing maintenance that catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.

Age is usually the biggest factor. Most traditional 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 often makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Other signs that point toward replacement include rust in your hot water, significant leaks around the base, or if repair costs exceed half the price of a new unit. We’ll always give you honest advice about which option makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
Hard water is a common issue in our area that causes mineral buildup inside tanks and on heating elements. This reduces efficiency and can cause premature failure. Sediment buildup from hard water also creates that rumbling or popping noise many homeowners hear. Temperature fluctuations from our New England climate can stress components over time. For gas units, venting issues sometimes develop, especially in older homes. Regular maintenance helps prevent many of these problems, but when they do occur, proper diagnosis is essential because symptoms can point to several different causes.
Most water heater repairs are completed in 2-4 hours, depending on the problem. Simple fixes like thermostat or heating element replacement usually take less time, while more complex issues involving gas components or venting may take longer. We stock common parts on our service trucks, which means most repairs are finished the same day. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and work with you to minimize any inconvenience. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, especially during cold weather when you can’t afford to be without hot water.
Yes, our technicians are trained on both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Tankless units require different diagnostic approaches and specialized tools, which we carry on our service vehicles. We work on gas and electric models from all major manufacturers. Tankless water heater repair often involves descaling due to mineral buildup, cleaning sensors, or addressing flow rate issues. While tankless systems are generally more reliable, when problems do occur, they require technicians who understand the technology. We also help homeowners decide between repairing their current system or upgrading to a different type.
First, turn off the power to electric units or the gas supply to gas units. Then shut off the water supply valve, usually located on top of the tank. Small leaks from fittings or the temperature relief valve might be repairable, but leaks from the tank itself typically mean replacement is needed. Don’t ignore even small leaks because they often get worse quickly and can cause water damage to your home. If you’re not sure where the leak is coming from or how to safely shut off your water heater, call us right away. We provide emergency service for situations like this because water damage can be expensive and extensive.
Regular maintenance is the best prevention. This includes annual inspections, flushing sediment from tank units, checking the temperature relief valve, and testing the thermostat settings. For homes with hard water, consider a water softener system to reduce mineral buildup. Keep the area around your water heater clear and watch for early warning signs like inconsistent temperatures, unusual noises, or discolored water. Our Dempsey Comfort Club membership includes regular maintenance visits that catch problems early, often preventing expensive emergency repairs. We also recommend having your water heater inspected if you notice any changes in performance, even if they seem minor.
