Water heater repair services
Water heater leak repair
A leak from a fitting, valve or pipe can often be repaired. A leak from the tank itself usually means the tank has failed and the unit needs to be replaced.
Electric water heater repair
No hot water, lukewarm water or a tripped breaker can point to a failed heating element or thermostat.
Gas water heater repair
A pilot light that won't stay lit, a faulty thermocouple or gas control valve, or a burner problem. We repair gas units safely.
Tankless water heater repair
Error codes, cold water in the middle of a shower, or no hot water at all.

The price depends on the type of water heater and the part that failed. We give you the price before we start work.
If the tank is leaking, or the unit is more than 10 to 12 years old and repairs are adding up, replacement is usually the better value. If it's newer and one part failed, repair may be enough. We'll tell you honestly.
Turn off the water supply and the power or gas to the unit, and call us. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or your gas company first.
