Our Process

1

Diagnostic Assessment

We check the thermostat, heating elements (electric), burner assembly (gas), and tank condition to pinpoint the failure.

2

Repair vs. Replace Recommendation

If the unit is under 10 years old and the tank isn't leaking, we often recommend repair. If the tank is leaking or the unit is old, replacement is usually the safer investment.

3

Professional Installation

For replacements, we drain and remove the old unit, install the new one with new supply lines, verify proper venting, and install required safety straps.

4

Safety Check

We test for gas leaks, verify proper draft in the flue, and check the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure your family's safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a water heater last?
Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last 8-12 years. If your unit is in this age range and starts having problems, replacement is often recommended over repair.
Popping or rumbling sounds are usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. The sediment traps water underneath it, which boils and pops. Flushing the tank can sometimes fix this, but in older units, it may signal the end of its life.
Unfortunately, no. If the tank itself has rusted through and is leaking, it cannot be patched safely. The entire unit must be replaced immediately to prevent water damage to your home.
It depends on your household size and usage. A standard family of 4 usually needs a 50-gallon tank. We can help you size the unit correctly so you don’t run out of hot water.
