Water Heater Repair Process

Straightforward Service, No Surprises

When you call, we’ll ask a few quick questions about what’s happening with your water heater. This helps us bring the right tools and parts, and gives you a realistic timeframe for when we can get there.

Our technician arrives and runs through a systematic check of your water heater. We’re looking at the heating elements, thermostat, connections, and safety systems. Most problems fall into a handful of common categories, and we can usually spot the issue within the first few minutes.

Before we start any work, you get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and exactly what it’ll cost to fix. No surprise charges, no “while we’re here” upsells unless you specifically ask for additional work. Once you approve the repair, we get to work and test everything thoroughly before we leave.

Most water heater repairs take between one to three hours, depending on the specific problem and whether we need to replace any components. Simple issues like a faulty heating element or thermostat can often be fixed in under an hour. More complex problems, like replacing a gas control valve or addressing multiple system issues, might take longer. We always give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the repair process.
If your water heater is under 8 years old, repair usually makes sense financially. For units between 8-12 years old, it depends on the specific problem and repair cost. We’ll be straight with you about whether a repair is worth it or if you’re better off replacing the unit. Generally, if the repair costs more than half the price of a new water heater, or if you’ve had multiple repairs in recent years, replacement is often the smarter long-term choice.
Yes, we service and repair both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Tankless units have different maintenance needs and common issues compared to tank systems, but our technicians are trained on both types. Tankless repairs often involve descaling, cleaning sensors, or replacing specific electronic components. We carry parts for the most common tankless brands and can handle everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs.
Water heater leaks typically come from a few common sources. The temperature and pressure relief valve might be releasing water due to excessive pressure or temperature. Loose connections at the inlet or outlet pipes can cause drips. In older units, the tank itself can develop small cracks or corrosion holes. Sometimes what looks like a tank leak is actually condensation or a loose fitting that’s easily fixed. We’ll identify the exact source and let you know if it’s a simple repair or a sign that replacement is needed.
Water heater repair costs vary depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element typically run less than more complex repairs involving gas controls or multiple components. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Emergency service calls may include additional fees for after-hours availability. Most homeowners find that professional repair costs significantly less than full replacement when the unit is worth fixing.
Strange noises from your water heater usually indicate sediment buildup, loose components, or heating element issues. Rumbling or popping sounds often mean sediment has accumulated at the bottom of the tank and needs to be flushed out. Screeching or whistling might indicate a problem with the inlet valve or internal components. While some noises are just annoying, others can signal problems that will get worse if ignored. We can diagnose the exact cause and recommend whether it needs immediate attention or routine maintenance.
