What's Included in Every Repair

Every water heater repair includes a complete system diagnostic to identify current problems and potential issues that could cause future failures. We work on both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems.

You get transparent pricing before any work begins, quality replacement parts when needed, and thorough testing to ensure your hot water is restored reliably. We also explain what caused the problem and what you can do to prevent similar issues.

For Red Bank homes with older plumbing systems, we pay special attention to how your water heater connects to existing pipes and whether mineral buildup or corrosion might be affecting performance. This local knowledge helps us provide repairs that work better and last longer in your specific situation.

We offer same-day water heater repair service for most situations, especially when you’re completely without hot water. The exact timing depends on the specific problem and whether we need to order special parts, but most common issues like faulty heating elements, thermostat problems, or pilot light issues can be resolved the same day you call. We keep frequently needed parts on our trucks to minimize delays. For emergency situations, we also provide 24/7 availability because we understand that some water heater problems can’t wait until regular business hours.
This depends on your water heater’s age, the extent of current problems, and your long-term plans. Generally, if your unit is over 10-12 years old and needs major repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense. However, newer units with isolated problems like a bad heating element or thermostat are usually worth repairing. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on repair costs versus replacement costs, energy efficiency considerations, and how long you can realistically expect the current unit to last. We’re not interested in selling you something you don’t need.
Water heater leaks can come from several sources: loose connections, faulty temperature and pressure relief valves, corroded pipes, or tank deterioration. Leaks from connections and valves can usually be repaired effectively. However, if the tank itself is leaking due to internal corrosion, replacement is typically necessary because tank leaks tend to worsen over time. We’ll locate the exact source of your leak and let you know whether it’s a repairable issue or if you’re looking at replacement. Acting quickly on any leak is important because even small leaks can cause water damage to your home.
Water heater repair costs vary based on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement might cost $200-400, while more complex issues involving heating elements, gas valves, or extensive pipe work can range from $400-800. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. We don’t use estimates that change once we start working. The cost of repair versus replacement is something we’ll discuss honestly based on your water heater’s age and condition, helping you make the most cost-effective decision for your situation.
Yes, we repair and maintain both tankless and traditional tank water heaters. Tankless units have different maintenance needs and common problems compared to tank systems. They often require descaling to remove mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water like parts of Red Bank. Tankless systems can also have issues with gas flow, venting, or electronic controls that require specialized knowledge. Our technicians are trained on both types of systems and carry parts for common tankless repairs. Whether you have a gas or electric tankless unit or a traditional tank system, we can diagnose and repair the problems you’re experiencing.
Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent water heater problems and extend your system’s life. This includes annual flushing to remove sediment buildup, checking the anode rod every few years, and testing the temperature and pressure relief valve. For tankless units, annual descaling is important to prevent mineral buildup that can reduce efficiency and cause breakdowns. You should also monitor your water heater for signs of problems like unusual noises, inconsistent water temperature, or small leaks around connections. Addressing minor issues early prevents them from becoming major, expensive problems. We can set up a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your specific system and local water conditions.
