Find Out What Our Water Heater Repair, Replacement, And Installation Services Can Do For You
Hot water isn’t just a luxury of living in the modern world. It’s actually essential for your comfort and your health. Cold water doesn’t clean dishes safely, and if you only had cold water for bathing and showers, your hygiene would suffer horribly. It’s imperative that you keep your water heater running efficiently at all times. When you need industry professionals for water heater repair, replacement, and installation services, give us a call.
Water Heater Repair Services
Our service professionals come to your door highly qualified. They are insured, licensed, and background-checked, all for your peace of mind. The work they do is backed by our warranty on both parts and labor, and we can provide same-day installation for most water heaters to minimize your downtime without hot water.
Water Heater Replacement And Installation Services
There are unfortunately times that your water heater is going to be past the point of repair. There are also going to be times where repairs just aren’t worth it, given the age or condition of your current unit. We will never try and sell you a new water heater if you don’t need one, but we will be honest with you if you really do. We can install one of the models we carry, or we can provide the installation services for a unit you buy from someone else.
24/7 Emergency Water Heater Services
No one ever knows when a water heater is going to finally give out and break down, and given how busy your life probably already is, it’s not likely to be sometime convenient. You can’t likely wait for the next workday to get it fixed, especially if your home’s structural integrity is in jeopardy. That’s why we’re available around the clock, every day of the year to come help you out. Just because your water heater goes out in the middle of the night doesn’t mean it has to be a nightmare or even take up your whole night. We show up as quickly as we can, analyze the situation, give your options, and then fix things up promptly to get your life back on track.
Indications You Might Need Water Heater Repairs Or Replacement
Not all water heater failures have to be total surprises. There are signs you can look out for, and they’re not all as dramatic as water coming from under your garage or soggy carpet. Keep an eye out for these four indicators of a water heater possibly on its last legs, and you might be able to call us out before your failing water heater disrupts your life and damages your home:
1) Check The Age: On average, water heaters older than 10 years should be replaced instead of repaired, since you’re likely to face more and more repairs sooner rather than later. If you’re not sure about the age of your unit, look for the manufacturer’s sticker. It should be on the top part of the water heater, and the serial number will tell you the manufacturing date, albeit with some decoding. You might see a date code like F051052638. The F is for the month, but numerically; as F is the sixth letter in the alphabet, it stands for the sixth month, which is June. The next two digits are the year, so this was June of 2005. Some manufacturers use different coding algorithms, but their website should help.
2) Rusty Water: If you are getting rusty water but only from the hot faucets in your home and not the cold ones, then you might have a rusting water heater. It could also be the result of galvanized piping, but our technicians can drain water from a functional water heater to test which is which.
3) Noises And Rumbling: Sediment builds up in a water heater at the bottom over time, where it eventually hardens. This can result in banging and rumbling sounds as the water heater heats up. A layer of hardened sediment can mean more damage and less efficiency.
4) Water Right Around The Heater: If you find moisture right around the heater, it could indicate a fracture or small leak. Before we would do a full replacement for this, however, we would also check out other potential leak sources, such as fittings, connections, and overflow pipe.
How You Can Maintain Your Water Heater
Keeping your water heater running well only takes a little bit of work, but it can save you a lot of money. Not only do you forestall the inevitable replacement a little while longer, but you also save money along the way. Setting your temperature right and applying a good layer of insulation only need to be done once, and yet when done, they can cut your heat loss nearly in half and reduce your water-heating expenses by nearly 10 percent. Also, check your anode rod and flush the tank annually. Flushing out sediment helps with both longevity and efficiency, and a used-up rod costs far less money than getting a new heater.

As stated previously, your water heater will eventually give out, and it might be a shock to you when it does. Consider that it probably has sat in a closet or utility room for many years, to the point of you just taking the hot water for granted when you turn the faucet controls.
However, it will need attention someday. If you follow these tips and watch out for the warning signs listed, you can prevent that day a little longer or know in advance you need to call us. When you do, we’re here 24/7 plumbing services, including water heater repairs, replacements, and installations of the listed brands and more.
