Water Heater Repair Process

Here's What Happens Next

First, we’ll schedule you for same-day service if you call before noon. Our technician arrives with diagnostic tools and common repair parts already on the truck.

We start with a complete system check – looking at your water heater, connections, electrical or gas components, and water quality issues that might be causing problems. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong before we start any work.

If it’s a straightforward repair, we handle it on the spot. If your unit needs replacement, we’ll explain why repair doesn’t make sense and walk you through your options for traditional or tankless systems. Either way, you’ll have hot water restored as quickly as possible.

Complete Water Heater Services

Everything Your System Needs

We handle every type of water heater repair and replacement you’ll encounter in Norwell. Traditional tank systems, tankless units, electric, gas, and hybrid models – we’ve seen it all and have the parts and expertise to fix it.

Through our Dempsey Comfort Club, you can get regular maintenance that prevents most emergency breakdowns. Members get priority scheduling and service discounts that often pay for the membership itself.

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

Age is 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 issues, replacement usually makes more sense financially. We’ll check the overall condition, efficiency, and repair costs versus replacement costs to give you an honest recommendation. Signs that point toward replacement include rusty water, multiple recent repairs, significantly higher energy bills, or major component failures like a cracked tank.

Can you repair tankless water heaters in Norwell?

Yes, we service all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and Bosch. Common tankless repairs include descaling for mineral buildup (especially important in our area’s hard water), replacing sensors, fixing ignition issues, and addressing error codes. Tankless units require specialized knowledge and tools, which is why many general plumbers refer these jobs out. Our technicians are trained specifically on tankless systems and carry the diagnostic equipment needed to troubleshoot and repair them properly.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair service?

Absolutely. We understand that water heater failures don’t wait for business hours. We offer same-day emergency service throughout Norwell and Plymouth County. If you call before noon, we can usually get someone out the same day. For true emergencies – like flooding from a failed tank – we have after-hours availability. Emergency service does include additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs upfront. Many emergency calls end up being simpler fixes than homeowners expect, like pilot light issues or tripped breakers.

What's included in your water heater repair service call?

Every service call includes complete system diagnostics, not just looking at the obvious problem. We check the water heater itself, all connections, electrical or gas components, water pressure, and signs of ongoing issues that could cause future problems. You’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it before we start any work. If we complete the repair, the diagnostic fee is included in the total cost. We also test the system after repairs to make sure everything is working properly and walk you through any maintenance tips.

How long do water heater repairs typically take?

Most common repairs take 1-3 hours, depending on the issue. Simple fixes like replacing a thermostat, heating element, or pilot light assembly are usually done within an hour. More complex repairs involving gas lines, electrical work, or multiple components can take 2-3 hours. We carry most common parts on our trucks, so we don’t usually need to make return trips. If we need to order a special part, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront and can often provide temporary solutions to restore some hot water while we wait for parts.

Do you service all water heater brands and types?

Yes, we work on all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Whirlpool, GE, and others. We service traditional tank water heaters (electric and gas), tankless units, hybrid heat pump models, and indirect water heaters connected to boiler systems. Each type requires different expertise and parts, which is why we keep our technicians trained on the latest models and maintain relationships with multiple suppliers. If you have an unusual or very old model, we’ll research the parts availability before starting work so there are no surprises.
