Water Heater Repair Process

Here's How We Fix It

When you call us about your water heater problem, we’ll ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening and schedule a time that works for you. Most repairs can be handled the same day you call.

Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and runs a complete diagnostic on your system. We’ll check the heating elements, thermostat, pressure relief valve, and connections to pinpoint exactly what’s causing the problem.

Before we start any work, you’ll get a clear explanation of what needs to be done and what it costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. Once you approve the repair, we get to work and test everything thoroughly before we leave. You’ll have hot water flowing again, and we’ll let you know if there’s anything you should watch for going forward.

Hot Water Heater Replacement Options

What's Included In Every Service Call

Every water heater repair call includes a complete system evaluation, not just a quick fix for the immediate problem. We want to make sure you’re not dealing with the same issue again in a few weeks.

You’ll get honest advice about whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better long-term choice. We work on all major brands and both tank and tankless water heater systems, so we can handle whatever you have.

If your water heater is beyond repair, we’ll walk you through replacement options that fit your home’s needs and your budget. We can often complete same-day installations if you need to get hot water restored quickly. Our goal is to get your household back to normal as fast as possible.

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 problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repeated repairs. Other signs pointing toward replacement include rust in your hot water, significant leaks around the base, or if repair costs are more than half the price of a new unit. We’ll always give you honest advice about which option makes the most financial sense for your situation.
Cold weather puts extra stress on water heaters because they have to work harder to heat incoming cold water. The most common winter failures are heating element burnouts in electric units and thermostat problems. Sediment buildup also becomes more problematic in winter because the unit cycles more frequently. If your water heater is in an unheated basement or garage, extremely cold temperatures can affect the electronics and even cause pipes to freeze. Regular maintenance before winter hits can prevent most of these issues, but when problems do occur, they usually need immediate attention.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually done within an hour. More complex issues like replacing multiple components or dealing with electrical problems might take longer. We carry the most common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs in a single visit. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and can often provide a temporary solution to restore some hot water while we wait for the part to arrive.
Yes, we work on both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Each type has its own common issues and repair requirements. Tank water heaters typically need heating element or thermostat replacement, while tankless units more often have mineral buildup or venting problems. Our technicians are trained on all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, Rinnai, and Navien. Whether you have a 40-gallon electric tank in your basement or a gas tankless unit mounted on your wall, we have the experience and parts to get it working properly again.
First, turn off the power to your water heater at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply valve at the top of the unit. Small leaks from fittings or the pressure relief valve might be simple fixes, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean you need replacement. Don’t ignore even small leaks because they typically get worse over time and can cause water damage to your home. Take a photo of where the leak is coming from if possible – this helps us bring the right parts and give you better information over the phone about what you’re dealing with.
Repair costs depend on what’s wrong with your system. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element typically cost less than major component replacement or electrical work. We provide upfront estimates before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Many homeowners find that repair costs are much less than they expected, especially compared to full replacement. However, if your water heater is older and needs expensive repairs, we’ll be honest about whether replacement makes more financial sense in the long run.
