Water Heater Repair Process

Here's How We Fix It

First, we listen to what’s happening with your water heater. No hot water? Strange noises? Leaking? We ask the right questions to understand the problem before we even arrive.

When we get to your Shrewsbury home, we thoroughly inspect your water heater system. We check the heating elements, thermostat, connections, and look for signs of wear or damage. We test everything to pinpoint exactly what’s causing the issue.

Once we know what’s wrong, we explain the problem and give you a clear estimate. No surprises, no pressure. If you approve the work, we fix it using quality parts that last. We clean up after ourselves and test everything to make sure your hot water is working properly before we leave.

Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours, depending on the problem. Simple issues like replacing a heating element or thermostat can often be completed in about an hour. More complex repairs involving multiple components or hard-to-reach areas might take longer. We always give you a time estimate upfront so you can plan your day accordingly. If we discover additional issues during the repair, we’ll discuss them with you before proceeding with any extra work.
The most obvious sign is no hot water or water that doesn’t get as hot as it used to. You might also notice rusty or discolored water, strange noises like popping or rumbling, or visible leaks around the unit. Higher than normal energy bills can indicate your water heater is working inefficiently. If your hot water runs out much faster than usual, that’s another clear sign something’s wrong. Don’t ignore these warning signs – addressing problems early often prevents more expensive repairs later.
Yes, we service and repair all types of tankless water heaters, including gas and electric models from major brands. Tankless units have different maintenance needs than traditional tank water heaters, and they require specialized knowledge to diagnose and repair properly. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup, ignition problems, and flow sensor malfunctions. We have the specific tools and experience needed to work on these systems safely and effectively, including the annual maintenance they need to keep running efficiently.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair service for Shrewsbury residents. We understand that water heater problems don’t wait for convenient times. Whether your unit fails on a weekend, holiday, or in the middle of the night, we can help.

We prioritize emergency calls and work to restore your hot water as quickly as possible while ensuring the repair is done safely and correctly.
Water heater repair costs vary depending on what’s wrong with your unit. Simple repairs like replacing a heating element typically cost less than complex issues involving multiple components. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. The cost of repair versus replacement depends on your water heater’s age, condition, and the extent of the problem. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair makes financial sense or if replacement would be more cost-effective long-term.
This depends on your water heater’s age, the cost of repairs, and how efficiently it’s been running. If your unit is less than 8 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, fixing it usually makes sense. For older units requiring expensive repairs, replacement might be more economical. We consider factors like your current energy bills, how often you’ve needed repairs recently, and whether newer, more efficient models would save you money over time. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your specific situation, not what generates the most revenue for us.
