Tankless Water Heater Repair

Complete Water Heater Solutions

We service all types of water heaters—traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas, and electric models. Each type has its own common issues, and our technicians are trained to work on all of them effectively.

For traditional tank water heaters, we handle heating element replacement, thermostat repairs, leak fixes, and sediment flushing. Tankless units require different expertise—we service mineral buildup, ignition problems, and flow sensor issues that are unique to these systems.

Many Millis homes have older water heaters that just need proper maintenance to keep running efficiently. We can extend your system’s life with professional cleaning, component replacement, and performance optimization. When replacement is necessary, we help you choose the right size and type for your home’s needs.

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

Most water heaters can be repaired if they’re under 10 years old and the tank isn’t leaking. Common repairable issues include no hot water, inconsistent temperature, strange noises, or pilot light problems. If your unit is over 12 years old, has a leaking tank, or needs frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the age, condition, and repair costs versus replacement value.

What causes a water heater to stop producing hot water suddenly?

The most common causes are failed heating elements in electric units or pilot light issues in gas units. Electric water heaters have two heating elements that can burn out over time, while gas units may have thermocouple problems or gas supply issues. Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can also prevent proper heating. Most of these issues can be diagnosed quickly and repaired the same day with the right parts and expertise.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours to complete. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat can be done in about an hour. More complex issues like flushing sediment buildup or repairing gas connections may take longer. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete repairs in a single visit. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to restore your hot water as quickly as possible.

Why is my water heater making loud banging or popping noises?

Those noises are typically caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank. Over time, minerals from your water supply settle and harden, creating a barrier between the heating element and water. When the element heats up, it causes the sediment to expand and contract, creating those alarming sounds. This issue can usually be resolved by flushing the tank and removing the sediment buildup. Ignoring it can lead to reduced efficiency and premature failure of your water heater.

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

We service both tankless and traditional tank water heaters. Tankless units have different maintenance needs and common problems than tank units. They often need descaling to remove mineral buildup, ignition system repairs, or flow sensor cleaning. Our technicians are trained on the specific requirements of tankless systems and carry the specialized tools needed for these repairs. Whether you have a gas or electric tankless unit, we can diagnose and fix the most common issues.
