Water Heater Repair Process

Simple Process, Fast Results

When you call, we’ll ask a few quick questions about what’s happening with your water heater. This helps us bring the right parts and tools on the first trip.

Our technician arrives and runs through a systematic diagnosis. We’ll check your heating elements, thermostats, electrical connections, and gas components depending on your system type. For tankless units, we’ll examine the heat exchanger, sensors, and venting.

Once we identify the problem, we’ll explain what’s wrong in plain terms and give you your options. Most repairs can be completed the same day with parts we carry on the truck. If you need a replacement, we’ll walk you through the process and timeline without any pressure.

Tankless Water Heater Repair Pinehills

All Water Heater Types Covered

Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a modern tankless system, Dempsey Energy handles the full range of repairs and replacements. We work on gas and electric units, including high-efficiency models and hybrid systems.

For tankless water heater repair, we understand the specific issues these systems face. Scale buildup, sensor problems, and venting issues that can shut down your hot water completely. Many Pinehills homes have tankless systems, and our technicians know how to get them running properly again.

We also handle hot water heater replacement when repair isn’t the best option. Sometimes a 15-year-old tank that’s starting to leak is better replaced than patched. We’ll give you honest advice about whether to repair or replace based on the age, condition, and efficiency of your current system.

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 system is approaching these ages and having frequent problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Other signs pointing toward replacement include visible rust or corrosion, water pooling around the base, or consistently running out of hot water even after repairs. A good technician will be honest about whether you’re throwing good money after bad with an old system.
For electric water heaters, it’s usually a failed heating element or tripped breaker. Gas units often have issues with the pilot light, gas valve, or thermocouple. Tankless systems can shut down due to scale buildup, sensor problems, or venting issues. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped reset button or blown fuse. The key is systematic diagnosis rather than guessing, because the symptoms can be similar even when the causes are completely different.
Most common repairs take 1-3 hours once the technician arrives and diagnoses the problem. Replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves are usually straightforward jobs. More complex issues like replacing a heat exchanger in a tankless unit might take longer. The diagnosis itself typically takes 15-30 minutes. If parts need to be ordered, that obviously extends the timeline, but most repair companies stock common components on their trucks.
Some basic maintenance like flushing sediment or relighting a pilot light can be DIY tasks if you’re comfortable with them. But most repairs involve electrical work, gas connections, or pressurized systems that can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Water and electricity don’t mix well, and gas leaks can be serious safety hazards. Professional technicians have the tools, training, and experience to diagnose problems accurately and make repairs safely. The cost of a service call is usually worth avoiding the risks and potential bigger problems from incorrect DIY repairs.
Tankless systems are more sensitive to water quality and flow rates than traditional tanks. Scale buildup from hard water is a common culprit that restricts flow and reduces efficiency. Dirty inlet filters can cause similar problems. Sometimes the issue is undersized units trying to supply too many fixtures at once, or problems with the gas supply or electrical connections. Cold water sandwiching between hot water draws is also common with some tankless models. A technician familiar with tankless systems can identify whether it’s a maintenance issue, a sizing problem, or a component failure.
First, determine where the leak is coming from. If water is pooling around the base of a tank unit, that usually means the tank itself is corroded and needs replacement. Leaks from pipes, fittings, or the temperature relief valve might be repairable. Turn off the power (electric) or gas supply, and shut off the water supply to prevent further damage. Don’t ignore small leaks thinking they’ll fix themselves – they typically get worse over time and can cause significant water damage to your home. Call a professional to assess whether it’s a simple fix or time for a replacement.
