Do you need a water heater replaced and installed or is it just acting up? If so our plumbers can handle it whether it needs to be replaced, installed, or just needs to be repaired.

Types of Water Heaters We Repair, Install, & Replace
1. Conventional Storage Tank: This is the most traditional type of water heater that features a tank that stores and heats a large amount of water, typically 30 to 80 gallons. As water is used, the tank refills and reheats the water to maintain a consistent supply.
2. Heat Pump: A heat pump works by transferring heat from the surrounding air to heat the water in the tank. It is highly efficient and can help save money.
3. Solar: It uses solar panels to heat water, which can be highly cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
4. Hybrid: A hybrid combines the features of a conventional storage tank with a heat pump to provide a highly efficient hot water supply.
Common Water Heater Repairs
Heating Element Replacement
The heating elements inside the water heater can wear out over time and may need to be replaced. This repair typically involves draining the tank, removing the old heating element, and installing a new one.
Thermostat Replacement
The thermostat controls the temperature of the water in the tank. Replacing the thermostat involves draining the tank and installing a new one.
Pressure Relief Valve Replacement
This is an essential safety feature that releases excess pressure in the tank to prevent it from exploding. If the valve is faulty, it may need to be replaced.
Tank Leaks
Over time, the tank can develop leaks due to corrosion or age. This issue requires replacing the tank or installing a new one.
Sediment Buildup
Sediment can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, causing it to become less efficient and increasing the risk of corrosion. Flushing the tank regularly can help prevent sediment buildup.
Gas Control Valve Replacement
Controls the flow of gas to the burner. If it breaks, then it will stop working. Replacing the gas control valve requires a professional plumber’s expertise
It’s essential to address these repairs promptly to prevent more significant issues from occurring. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and inspecting the heating elements and valves, can help prevent many common problems.

3. Leaks: If you see water collecting, that might mean a leak.
4. Strange Sounds: If it starts making popping, cracking, or banging sounds, there may be sediment accumulating inside the tank or the heating components may be failing.

6. Higher Energy Bills: If you observe an abrupt rise in your energy costs, you may be losing efficiency and having trouble keeping up with demand.
