Tank, Tankless, and Everything Between

We repair all major water heater brands and models. Traditional tank units, tankless systems, electric, gas, hybrid. If it heats water in your home, we can fix it.

Common repairs include heating element replacement, thermostat issues, gas valve problems, and leak repairs. We also handle full water heater replacement when repair costs don’t make financial sense.

Many Plymouth County homes have unique installation challenges. Tight basement spaces, older electrical systems, unusual venting requirements. We’ve worked in hundreds of local homes and know how to handle whatever your house throws at us.

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. We look at the age of your unit, the extent of the problem, and your long-term costs. Signs you might need replacement include multiple recent repairs, rust in your hot water, or a unit that’s 12+ years old with major component failure. We’ll give you honest advice about which option saves you more money in the long run.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or heating element swaps are usually done within an hour. More complex issues like gas valve replacement or extensive leak repairs can take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs the same day. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and work around your schedule for the follow-up visit.
Yes, we repair and maintain all major tankless water heater brands. Tankless units have different issues than traditional tanks – usually related to mineral buildup, ignition problems, or flow sensor issues. Many Plymouth County homes have hard water that causes scale buildup in tankless systems, requiring regular descaling. We have the specialized tools and experience to diagnose tankless problems quickly and get your continuous hot water flowing again.
Turn off the power (circuit breaker for electric units) or gas supply immediately, then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank. Don’t ignore even small leaks – they usually get worse quickly and can cause significant water damage. Place towels or a bucket under the leak if possible, then call us right away. Some leaks can be repaired, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean you need replacement. We offer same-day emergency service for water heater leaks.
Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds usually mean sediment has built up at the bottom of your tank. When water heats up under the sediment layer, it creates steam bubbles that make noise as they escape. This is common in Plymouth County due to mineral-heavy water. Flushing the tank can sometimes solve the problem, but extensive buildup might require professional cleaning or indicate it’s time for replacement. Screeching sounds often point to a failing heating element or inlet valve.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually broken. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement typically run $150-250, while more complex repairs like heating element or gas valve replacement can cost $300-500. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Emergency service calls may include additional fees, but we’re transparent about all costs. Many repairs pay for themselves quickly through improved efficiency and reliability compared to limping along with a failing system.
