Water Heater Repair Process

Every Type of Water Heater

We repair and service all water heater types – traditional tank systems, tankless units, gas, electric, and hybrid models. Whether you’re dealing with no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, or visible leaks, we have the experience to handle it.

Many Millstone homes have older water heaters that need specific parts or techniques. We understand these systems and keep common replacement parts in stock. For tankless water heater maintenance, we handle descaling, filter changes, and system optimization.

Emergency situations get priority scheduling. If your water heater is leaking and causing property damage, or if you have no hot water at all, we’ll get someone to your home as quickly as possible to minimize the disruption to your household.

Most water heater repairs take between 1-3 hours, depending on what’s wrong and whether we need to replace parts. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take about an hour. More complex issues like gas valve replacement or extensive leak repairs might take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate once we’ve diagnosed the problem, and we always try to complete repairs in a single visit so you’re not waiting around for multiple appointments.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. For units over 10 years old with major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value. We’ll be honest about what makes financial sense for your situation. Factors like energy efficiency, the extent of corrosion, and how often you’ve needed repairs all play into this decision. We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need.
The most common causes are failed heating elements in electric units, pilot light issues in gas systems, or faulty thermostats in both types. Sediment buildup can also reduce efficiency and cause inconsistent heating. In tankless systems, mineral deposits often clog the heat exchanger. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped circuit breaker or gas supply issue. We start with the most likely causes and work systematically to identify the actual problem rather than guessing and replacing parts unnecessarily.
Basic repairs like replacing heating elements or thermostats typically run $200-400 including parts and labor. More complex repairs involving gas valves, control boards, or extensive leak fixes can range from $400-800. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost. Emergency service calls may include additional fees, but we’ll explain all charges clearly. The age and type of your water heater affects repair costs, and we’ll let you know if repair costs are approaching replacement territory.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair for situations like major leaks, complete loss of hot water, or gas-related safety concerns. We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within a few hours during business hours. For after-hours emergencies, we have technicians available for urgent situations that can’t wait until the next business day. Emergency service may include additional fees, but we’ll discuss this when you call. We understand that some water heater problems need immediate attention to prevent property damage or restore essential services.
Regular maintenance is the best prevention. This includes flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, checking the anode rod every few years, and testing the temperature relief valve. Keep the area around your water heater clear and watch for signs of corrosion or small leaks. For tankless units, descaling every 1-2 years prevents mineral buildup. Don’t ignore small issues like inconsistent temperatures or unusual noises – addressing them early prevents bigger problems. We can set up a maintenance schedule that fits your system’s needs and help you catch issues before they become expensive repairs.
