Repair or replace?
Most tank water heaters last around 8 to 12 years. If yours is still within that window and the problem is a thermostat, element, igniter or valve, a repair usually makes sense. If the tank itself is leaking, it's time to replace it, because a leaking tank can't be fixed.
- Tank water heaters40 to 80 gallon gas and electric units, sized for your household.
- Tankless water heatersEndless hot water and a smaller footprint, installed with proper venting and gas sizing.
- RepairsElements, thermostats, gas valves, igniters, anode rods and relief valves.

- Same-day replacementCommon sizes are often swapped the same day you call.
Signs your water heater needs attention
- Water pooling around the base of the tank
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Popping or rumbling sounds as it heats (sediment build-up)
- Hot water that runs out faster than it used to
- A unit over 10 years old with no maintenance history
Thinking about tankless?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you don't run out during back-to-back showers, and they free up floor space. They cost more up front and sometimes need a larger gas line or new venting. We'll look at your home and give you a straight answer on whether it's worth it.
