FAQs

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement? 

Generally, water heaters under 8 years old with isolated component failures benefit from repair, while units over 10 years old with multiple problems or tank corrosion often require replacement. We evaluate each situation individually, considering repair costs, remaining equipment life, and energy efficiency to help you make the most economical decision for your circumstances.

What causes water heaters to make loud popping or rumbling noises? 

These sounds typically indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which causes water to boil and steam as it tries to rise through the sediment layer. Flushing removes this buildup, but extensive sediment accumulation may indicate the need for more frequent maintenance or water treatment to prevent recurrence.

Why does my hot water run out faster than it used to? 

Reduced hot water capacity usually results from sediment buildup that displaces water volume, faulty heating elements that cannot maintain temperature, or thermostat problems that prevent proper heating cycles. We test these components systematically to identify the specific cause and recommend appropriate repairs.

Can you repair tankless water heaters? 

Yes, we repair all major tankless water heater brands and models. Common tankless repairs include descaling for mineral buildup, ignition system repairs, flow sensor cleaning, and venting system maintenance. These units require specialized knowledge and tools, which we maintain for effective service.

How quickly can water heater repairs be completed?

Most repairs take a few hours depending on the issue and parts availability. We offer same-day and emergency service to reduce downtime.
