A reliable water heater is essential for daily tasks like showering, washing dishes, and laundry.

Whether your hot water tank needs a repair or you’re considering a new installation, our licensed plumbers are here to help.
If your hot water tank isn’t functioning properly, it may be time for a repair. Common signs include:
If your taps are running cold, your water heater’s heating element or gas burner may be failing. We diagnose and fix heating issues to restore your hot water. In some cases, a faulty pilot light or broken thermostat may also be the cause, requiring prompt attention.
Does your water switch from hot to cold unexpectedly? This could be due to a failing thermostat, sediment buildup, or heating element issues. Mineral deposits can build up inside your water heater over time, causing it to struggle with maintaining a consistent temperature.
Loud popping, banging, or rumbling sounds often mean sediment has built up inside your hot water tank, reducing efficiency and lifespan. As sediment settles at the bottom of the tank, it hardens and makes your water heater work harder, potentially leading to premature wear and tear.
If you notice water pooling around your water heater, there could be a leaking valve or a cracked tank that needs immediate attention. A small leak may seem harmless, but it can lead to water damage, mold growth, and increased utility bills if left unaddressed.
Rusty water could indicate corrosion inside your hot water tank, signaling the need for repairs or replacement. If rust appears only in hot water, the issue may stem from your water heater’s tank, while rust in both hot and cold water could indicate corroded pipes.
If your water heater is over 10-15 years old, it may be time for a replacement. We install energy-efficient hot water tanks designed to provide consistent hot water while lowering your energy bills. Upgrading to a modern unit can help reduce energy consumption and increase reliability.

Routine maintenance extends the lifespan of your hot water tank and prevents breakdowns. Our Home Comfort Membership includes:
Most traditional water heaters last between 10-15 years, while tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. If your unit is reaching the end of its lifespan, it may be time to consider a replacement.
We recommend flushing your hot water tank once a year to remove sediment buildup and maintain efficiency. This helps prevent overheating and prolongs the lifespan of your unit.
If your water heater is experiencing frequent breakdowns, is over 10 years old, or has developed a leak, replacement may be the best option. If the issue is minor, such as a faulty thermostat or heating element, a repair may suffice.
