We Handle All Water Heater Issues

Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a tankless system, we repair all major brands and models. Leaking tanks, no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, pilot light problems, and heating element failures.

We also handle tankless water heater maintenance and descaling, which is especially important in Jackson due to our mineral-heavy water. Regular maintenance extends your system’s life and keeps it running efficiently.

Emergency service is available 24/7 because water heater problems don’t wait for business hours. When you’re dealing with a leak that could damage your home, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up fast.

Water heater repair costs in Jackson typically range from $200 to $600, depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are on the lower end, while major repairs like replacing a gas valve or fixing extensive leaks cost more. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost before we begin. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges added after the repair is complete.
If your water heater is less than 8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re dealing with frequent breakdowns, your unit is over 10 years old, or the repair costs more than $800, replacement is often the better investment. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your water heater’s condition and help you make the decision that saves you money long-term, not just what generates more revenue for us.
Most water heater repairs are completed within 1-2 hours during the same visit. Simple issues like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves are typically finished in under an hour. More complex repairs involving multiple components or hard-to-reach areas might take up to 3 hours. We carry common replacement parts in our trucks, so we rarely need to schedule a return visit. You’ll have hot water restored the same day in almost all cases.
Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds usually indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank, which is common in Jackson due to our mineral-rich water. As water heats up, it bubbles through the sediment layer, creating noise. This reduces efficiency and can shorten your water heater’s life. Flushing the tank removes sediment and stops the noise. Whistling or hissing sounds often point to valve problems or restricted water flow, which need professional attention to prevent bigger issues.
Yes, we repair and maintain all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and Noritz. Tankless systems need regular descaling and maintenance, especially in Jackson where mineral deposits build up quickly. We handle everything from error code diagnosis and sensor replacement to heat exchanger cleaning and gas valve repairs. Tankless units are more complex than traditional water heaters, so it’s important to work with technicians who understand these systems properly.
Turn off the power to your water heater immediately – flip the circuit breaker for electric units or turn the gas valve to “off” for gas units. Shut off the water supply using the valve at the top of the tank. If water is pooling around the base, try to determine if it’s coming from the tank itself or from connections and valves. Tank leaks usually mean replacement is needed, but connection leaks can often be repaired. Call us right away, as water damage gets worse quickly and some leaks indicate safety hazards.
