Water Heater Repair Process

Simple Process, Quick Results

When you call us about your water heater problem, we’ll schedule a time that works for you, often the same day. Our technician arrives with the tools and common parts needed for most repairs, so we can often fix your issue on the spot.

First, we diagnose the problem completely. We’ll check the heating elements, thermostat, gas connections, venting, and other components to find the root cause, not just the symptoms. Then we explain what’s wrong in plain language and give you upfront pricing before we start any work.

If it’s a straightforward repair, we’ll get your hot water running again quickly. If your system is beyond repair or it makes more financial sense to replace it, we’ll walk you through your options and help you choose the right water heater for your home and budget. Either way, you’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Hot Water Heater Replacement Options

Complete Water Heater Solutions

We handle everything from simple repairs to complete water heater replacements. Whether you have a traditional tank system or a tankless water heater, our technicians have the experience to get it working properly.

For repairs, we stock common parts and can handle issues like faulty heating elements, broken thermostats, gas valve problems, and tank leaks. We work on all major brands and both gas and electric systems.

When replacement makes more sense, we’ll help you understand your options. Traditional tank water heaters are reliable and cost-effective. Tankless systems save space and can reduce your energy bills over time. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each based on your specific situation, home size, and hot water usage patterns. Our installations meet all local codes and come with warranties on both parts and labor.

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

Age is the biggest factor. Most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can last 15-20 years. If your system is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Other signs that point toward replacement include rusty water, strange noises, visible corrosion on the tank, or if repair costs exceed half the price of a new unit. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better investment for your situation.

What causes water heaters to fail in Massachusetts homes?

Hard water is a major culprit in our area, causing mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan. Sediment accumulation at the bottom of tanks is common and can cause heating elements to burn out. In winter, our cold groundwater temperatures make systems work harder. Gas water heaters can develop venting issues, especially in older homes. Thermostat problems are frequent, causing water that’s too hot, too cold, or inconsistent temperatures. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these issues, but once problems start, they often cascade quickly.

How long does water heater repair typically take?

Most repairs take 1-3 hours, depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat can be done in under two hours. More complex issues involving gas lines, venting, or multiple component failures might take longer. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs in a single visit. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and work with you to minimize the inconvenience. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, often same-day service.

Should I consider switching to a tankless water heater?

Tankless systems work well for many homes, but they’re not right for everyone. They provide unlimited hot water on demand and take up much less space than traditional tanks. They’re also more energy efficient for most households. However, they have higher upfront costs and may require electrical or gas line upgrades. If you have high simultaneous hot water demand – like multiple showers running at once – you might need multiple units. We’ll evaluate your home’s setup, hot water usage patterns, and budget to help you decide if tankless makes sense for your situation.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

Turn off the power or gas supply to the unit immediately, then shut off the water supply at the valve on top of the tank. If there’s significant water, turn off the main water supply to your home. Don’t ignore even small leaks – they typically get worse quickly and can cause water damage. Tank leaks usually mean replacement is needed, while leaks from connections, valves, or fittings can often be repaired. Take photos of the leak location if possible, then call us for emergency service. Acting quickly can prevent water damage to your home and belongings.

How can I prevent future water heater problems?

Annual maintenance is the best prevention. This includes flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, checking the anode rod, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, and inspecting gas venting or electrical connections. Set your temperature to 120°F – higher temperatures cause faster wear and scaling. If you have hard water, consider a water softener to reduce mineral buildup. Don’t ignore warning signs like strange noises, rusty water, or temperature fluctuations. Our Dempsey Comfort Club includes regular maintenance that catches small problems before they become expensive repairs or replacements.
