Signs your water heater needs attention

  • No hot water, or not enough

  • Water that runs lukewarm or turns cold quickly

  • Rusty or discolored hot water

  • Rumbling, popping or banging from the tank

  • Water around the base of the heater

  • An older heater (tank heaters often last roughly 8 to 12 years)

Water heater replacement

When a tank heater is worn out, we swap it for a new one. We look at the heater, the connections and the venting, tell you honestly if a repair makes sense or it’s time to replace, and give you the cost before any work starts. We install the new heater to code and test it before we leave.

Water heater repair

Not every problem means a new heater. We repair leaks, heating problems, and valve or connection problems when it makes sense. On an older heater, we’ll tell you straight if a repair isn’t worth it.
