What we can help with

No hot water: Usually a failed heating element, thermostat or pilot assembly, and we diagnose it and replace the part.
Leaking tank or connections: We find where the water is coming from and price the repair or the replacement.
Water that runs hot and cold: Sediment in the tank or a failing thermostat, and we can fix either one.
Rumbling, popping or rusty water: These point to sediment and corrosion inside the tank, and we flush it and check the anode rod.
Replacement and installation: New tank and tankless units sized for your home, with the pan, expansion tank and venting to code.
Old unit hauled away: We take the old heater with us and leave the space clean.

What to expect

We work out whether the heater needs a repair or a replacement before anything is taken apart. We tell you which one it is and price it. When a replacement is worth considering alongside a repair, we price both so you can compare.

On a replacement we size the new heater to your household's hot water use, set it in a drain pan, and bring the venting, gas connection and expansion tank up to code. We pull the permit where the county requires one and include it in the price. The old unit leaves with us, and we walk you through the new one before we go.

Frequently asked questions about water heaters

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If the tank itself is leaking, it needs to be replaced. If a part has failed, a repair is usually the better value. We go over what we found and give you a price for each.

How long does a replacement take?

Most tank replacements are done in a day. A tankless installation takes longer because of the gas line and venting work involved.

Is a tankless water heater worth it?

For a lot of households, yes. You get hot water that doesn't run out and you free up the closet space, at a higher installation cost. It depends on how your family uses hot water, and we'll talk it through before you decide.
