When our technician arrives, they’ll inspect your entire system, not just the obvious problem. We’ll check the heating elements, thermostat, pressure relief valve, and connections to make sure everything is working safely and efficiently.

Before we touch anything, you’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix. No surprises, no pressure, no games. If you approve the work, we’ll get started right away and test everything thoroughly before we leave.

Most repairs are completed the same day, and you’ll have hot water flowing again within hours of our arrival.

We Handle Every Type of Problem

Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a tankless system, we service all major brands and models. Our trucks carry the most common replacement parts, so we can complete most hot water heater repairs without delay.

We also handle water heater replacement when repair isn’t the smart choice. Sometimes a 15-year-old unit that’s been limping along is better replaced than patched up again. We’ll give you honest advice about when replacement makes more financial sense than another repair.

For Duxbury homeowners looking to upgrade, we install high-efficiency tankless water heaters that save space and reduce energy costs. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling and exclusive benefits on all their home comfort needs.

If your water heater is less than 8-10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns, rusty water, or a unit that’s over 12 years old, replacement is often the smarter investment. We’ll inspect your system and give you honest advice about which option saves you more money in the long run. Age, efficiency, and repair history all factor into this decision.
The most frequent issues we see are failed heating elements, faulty thermostats, and sediment buildup in the tank. Duxbury’s water conditions can accelerate mineral deposits, especially in older homes. We also see pressure relief valve problems and thermocouple failures in gas units. Most of these problems develop gradually, so if you notice lukewarm water, strange noises, or longer heating times, it’s worth having us take a look before you lose hot water completely.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours from start to finish. Simple fixes like replacing a thermostat or heating element are usually done within an hour. More complex problems involving multiple components or tank flushing can take longer. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, so we rarely need to schedule a return visit. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we schedule your appointment.
Yes, we repair and maintain all types of tankless water heater systems, including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless units require different expertise than traditional tank systems, especially when it comes to descaling and flow sensor issues. We see more tankless systems in newer Duxbury homes, and we’re fully equipped to handle their unique maintenance needs. Regular descaling is especially important in this area due to mineral content in the water supply.
Turn off the power to your water heater immediately – flip the breaker for electric units or turn the gas valve to “off” for gas systems. Then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank. Small leaks from fittings can often be repaired, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is needed. Don’t wait to call – water damage gets expensive fast, and a small leak can become a major flood. We offer emergency service for situations like this.
Annual maintenance is your best protection against unexpected breakdowns. This includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, testing the pressure relief valve, and checking the anode rod. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling for maintenance visits and catch problems before they become emergencies. You can also help by setting your temperature to 120°F, insulating older units, and calling us if you notice any changes in water temperature or strange noises from the unit.
