Most water heater repairs in Matawan are completed the same day we arrive. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take 1-2 hours. More complex repairs might take 3-4 hours, but we carry most common parts on our trucks so we can finish the job in one visit. For emergency situations like complete system failures or major leaks, we prioritize same-day service to get your hot water restored as quickly as possible.
The most common causes are failed heating elements in electric units or pilot light issues in gas water heaters. Thermostat problems, sediment buildup, or tripped circuit breakers can also cause no hot water situations. Occasionally it’s a simple fix like relighting a pilot light, but other times you need new parts. We diagnose the exact problem first so you know what you’re dealing with before any repair work begins. Age is also a factor—water heaters over 8–10 years old are more prone to sudden failures.
Water heater repair costs depend on what’s actually broken. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element typically run $200-400. More complex repairs involving multiple components can cost $400-800. We always diagnose the problem first and give you an upfront price before starting any work. There are no unexpected charges or hidden fees. If the repair cost approaches the price of a new unit, we’ll let you know so you can make an informed decision about repair versus replacement.
It depends on where the leak is coming from and how old your unit is. Leaks from connections, valves, or fittings are usually worth repairing. But if the tank itself is leaking, replacement is typically your best option since tank leaks indicate internal corrosion that will only get worse. For water heaters over 10 years old with tank leaks, replacement usually makes more financial sense than repair. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about what makes the most sense for your budget and timeline.
Yes, we repair and maintain all types of tankless water heaters, including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless units need regular maintenance to prevent mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan. We handle descaling, filter cleaning, and component replacement for tankless systems. Common tankless problems we fix include ignition issues, flow sensor problems, and heat exchanger cleaning. Regular maintenance every 1-2 years keeps tankless water heaters running efficiently and prevents costly breakdowns.
First, turn off the power to electric units at the circuit breaker, or turn the gas control to “off” for gas water heaters. Then shut off the water supply using the valve at the top of the unit. If water is actively leaking onto the floor, try to contain it with towels or buckets to prevent property damage. Don’t attempt any repairs yourself—water and electricity are dangerous, and gas connections require professional handling. Call us immediately for emergency service. We can usually respond the same day for urgent leaking water heater situations in Matawan.
