Water Heater Repair Process

Here's How We Fix It

First, we diagnose the actual problem. No guessing, no assumptions. We test the system, check the components, and figure out exactly what’s causing your hot water issues.

Then we explain what we found in plain terms. You’ll understand what’s wrong, what your options are, and what each option costs upfront. Whether it’s a simple thermostat replacement, a heating element issue, or something more complex, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with.

If it’s repairable, we fix it right then with quality parts. If replacement makes more sense, we’ll explain why and help you choose between traditional tank systems and tankless options based on your home’s needs and your preferences. Most repairs are completed the same day, so you’re not left waiting for hot water.

Age is the biggest factor, but it’s not the only one. Most traditional tank water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years with proper maintenance. However, if you’re dealing with frequent repairs, rusty water, strange noises, or significantly higher energy bills, replacement might make more sense even on a newer unit. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the actual condition of your system, not just its age.
Hard water is a major culprit in Plymouth County, causing mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens system life. Sediment accumulation in tank bottoms is common, leading to heating element failure and reduced capacity. Thermostat issues are also frequent, especially in older units. Regular maintenance can prevent many of these problems, but when they do occur, quick professional attention usually prevents minor issues from becoming major failures.
Most common repairs like thermostat replacement, heating element swaps, or valve adjustments take 1-3 hours. More complex issues involving internal components or electrical problems might take longer, but we carry common parts on our trucks so most jobs finish the same day. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and work with you to minimize the inconvenience while waiting for the repair to be completed.
Tankless systems work well for many homes, but they’re not automatically better for everyone. They provide endless hot water and take up less space, but the upfront cost is higher and they may require electrical or gas line upgrades. If you have high hot water demand, multiple bathrooms in use simultaneously, or limited space, tankless might make sense. We’ll evaluate your specific usage patterns and home setup to help you decide what works best.
Turn off the power (breaker for electric units, gas valve for gas units) and shut off the water supply immediately. Even small leaks can cause significant water damage quickly. Don’t attempt repairs on a leaking tank yourself – water and electricity or gas create dangerous situations. Call for emergency service right away. Sometimes leaks are from loose fittings that can be tightened, but tank leaks usually mean replacement is necessary.
Annual maintenance makes a huge difference in system life and reliability. This includes flushing sediment from tank systems, checking and replacing anode rods, testing safety valves, and inspecting electrical or gas connections. Set your temperature to 120°F to reduce strain on components and prevent scalding. Watch for early warning signs like unusual noises, discolored water, or fluctuating temperatures, and address them quickly before they become major problems.
