1) Diagnose
We inspect the heater, controls, valves, connections, and safety components to identify what’s actually failing.
2) Clear Options
We explain repair vs. replacement in plain language — with upfront pricing before any work begins.
3) Fix + Test
We complete the work, test performance and safety, confirm hot water delivery, and clean up.
Repair vs. Replace
In many cases, a targeted repair is the fastest way to restore hot water. If the tank is leaking, heavily corroded, or repeatedly failing, replacement may be the safer long-term option.
Helpful info to share when you call: tank size (e.g., 40/50 gal), fuel type (gas/electric), and any visible leaking or error indicators.
Water Heater FAQ
How long does a typical water heater last?
Lifespan varies by use, water quality, and maintenance. If yours is older and showing symptoms (leaks, rust, no hot water), we can evaluate repair vs. replacement.
Do you offer maintenance like flushing?
Yes. Flushing can reduce sediment buildup and noise and may improve performance if the unit is otherwise healthy.
What if my water heater is leaking?
If it’s a valve or connection, it may be repairable. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually required. Call us ASAP to prevent water damage.
Can you install a customer-supplied water heater?
In many cases, yes — we can confirm compatibility, required fittings, and safe installation requirements.
