Water Heater Problems? We’ve Seen It All.

Common issues we repair include:


  • No hot water or fluctuating temperature

  • Water heater leaks or tank corrosion

  • Pilot light issues or ignition failure

  • Sediment buildup inside the tank

  • Strange noises from the unit

  • Low hot water pressure


  • Discolored or rusty water


If your water heater is over 10 years old, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. We can help you evaluate your options and install a high-efficiency system that meets your household’s needs.

Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement

Not sure whether to repair or replace your unit? Here’s how to decide:

Repair May Be Best If:

  • Your water heater is less than 8–10 years old

  • The issue is isolated (e.g., a faulty thermostat or heating element)

  • There are no signs of major corrosion or tank damage

Replacement Is Recommended If:

  • Your unit is leaking from the tank

  • You frequently run out of hot water

  • The system is older than 10–12 years

  • Repairs have become frequent and costly

  • You want to upgrade to an energy-efficient model

We’ll provide honest, straightforward recommendations with no upselling — just what’s best for your comfort, safety, and budget.

Tankless vs. Traditional Water Heaters

Traditional (Storage Tank) Water Heaters

 These units store hot water in a tank and keep it heated at all times. They’re generally more affordable upfront and simple to maintain.

Tankless Water Heaters

 Tankless systems heat water on demand and take up less space. While more expensive initially, they’re energy-efficient and provide an endless supply of hot water.
