Water Heater Replacement Service
When you need it, and what to do if yours is leaking
Our water heater services cover all types of water heaters, but typically we encounter tankless or traditional tank water heaters.
Tank water heaters normally last about eight to 12 years. You should consider replacing yours if it is over eight years old, especially if you don’t have a water filtration system.
Tankless water heaters typically last longer than tank models, with expected life spans of up to 20 years. Regular maintenance can extend this even further.
If your water heater is leaking, turn off the water supply to prevent potential water damage, and then call us immediately. Our water heater services are available 24/7.
We’ve replaced thousands of water heaters, providing the absolute best experience at the most affordable price.
Water Heater Repair
Types of repairs, and when to repair instead of replace
Water heaters, both tank and tankless types, can be repaired, and there are several common repairs that can be done to extend their life and improve efficiency.
Thermostat or heating element replacement on tank water heaters can sometimes be a quick low-cost solution. Descaling, cleaning or replacing filters and repairing electrical sensors sometimes do the trick for Tankless water heaters.
Choosing to repair rather than replace a water heater generally depends on the age of the unit and the cost of the repair. If a tank water heater is less than eight years old or a tankless water heater less than 15 years old, repairing might be cost-effective.

Water Heater Service & Maintenance
What needs maintaining, and how often
Regular maintenance for both tank and tankless water heaters is critical to ensure they operate efficiently and to extend their lifespan, and can save you thousands of dollars in repairs or replacements.
For tank water heaters, a professional annual water heater service and inspection to check for any signs of wear or issues with the gas line, electrical connections, thermostat, and other components can save you from future headaches and unnecessary costs. This should also include flushing the tank, especially if you don’t have a water filtration system.
Tankless units should be also inspected annually by a professional to check the burner, fans, ignition system, and overall unit condition. Cleaning and/or replacing filters and checking the water inlet filters is also important. Finally, a professional can also inspect for leaks and error codes.

Water Heater Installation
Tips if you are buying or already have a water heater
When replacing a water heater, you may choose to make a purchase on your own. Before doing so, consider the size of your home and its hot water usage patterns, taking into account the number of people living there and peak usage times.
Ensure that your home’s electrical system can handle the load of an electric water heater. This may require upgrading your electrical panel or installing dedicated circuits.
If you’re considering installing the water heater yourself please consult a professional first. The installation of a water heater can be complex and potentially hazardous, due to factors like gas lines or high-voltage electricity. Professional installation not only ensures safety and efficiency but also compliance with local codes and manufacturer recommendations. This is important for warranty and insurance purposes.
