Everything Your Water Heater Needs

We handle all types of water heater issues, from traditional tank units to modern tankless systems, whether they’re gas or electric. Common repairs include replacing faulty heating elements, fixing thermostat problems, addressing leaks, and clearing sediment buildup that reduces efficiency.

Our service covers emergency repairs when your system fails completely, routine maintenance to prevent problems, and full replacements when repair isn’t cost-effective. We work on all major brands and carry quality replacement parts to ensure lasting repairs.

For Marshfield homeowners dealing with hard water issues common in this area, we also address the scale buildup and corrosion that can shorten your water heater’s lifespan. Our Dempsey Comfort Club members get priority scheduling and regular maintenance that catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.

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 sense than continued repairs. Other signs pointing toward replacement include rusty water, significant leaks, or repair costs exceeding half the price of a new unit. We’ll assess your specific situation honestly and help you make the most cost-effective decision.
Hard water is a major culprit in this area, causing mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan. Sediment accumulation at the bottom of tank units is common, leading to overheating and eventual failure. Coastal humidity can accelerate corrosion of metal components. Heating elements and thermostats also wear out over time, especially in units that work harder during cold months. Regular maintenance helps prevent many of these issues, but some wear is inevitable with age and use.
Most common repairs take 1-3 hours, depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually completed within an hour. More complex issues involving multiple components or access challenges might take longer. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can often complete repairs the same day. If we need to order special parts, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront and work to minimize any inconvenience.
Absolutely. Tankless units have different maintenance needs and failure points than traditional tanks, but our technicians are trained on all major brands and models. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup in the heat exchanger, ignition problems, and sensor failures. These units actually need more regular maintenance than tank systems, especially in areas with hard water like ours. We handle everything from routine descaling to component replacement and full system diagnostics.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service for urgent water heater problems. Complete system failures, significant leaks, or gas-related issues qualify as emergencies. We understand that losing hot water isn’t just inconvenient—it can disrupt your entire household routine. Our emergency technicians carry common repair parts and diagnostic equipment to resolve problems quickly. Emergency service does carry additional fees, but we’re transparent about all costs before beginning any work.
Regular maintenance is key. Annual flushing removes sediment buildup, and checking the anode rod every few years prevents tank corrosion. For tankless units, annual descaling is essential, especially with our hard water. Watch for early warning signs like inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, or discolored water. Our Dempsey Comfort Club includes regular maintenance visits that catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Simple steps like setting appropriate temperatures and ensuring proper ventilation also extend your unit’s lifespan.
