How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem. Simple issues like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually completed within an hour. More complex problems involving gas lines, venting, or multiple component failures can take longer. Our technician will give you a time estimate after diagnosing the issue. Emergency repairs are prioritized to restore your hot water as quickly as possible, and we keep most parts in stock to avoid delays waiting for special orders.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. Units over 10 years old with major component failures are often better candidates for replacement, especially if you’ve had multiple repairs recently. Tank corrosion, multiple heating element failures, or gas valve problems in older units typically signal it’s time to replace. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option based on your water heater’s age, condition, and repair history.
Yes, CG Plumbing services both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Tankless units require specialized knowledge for proper diagnosis and repair, especially when dealing with mineral buildup, flow sensor issues, or venting problems. Common tankless repairs include descaling, replacing flow sensors, fixing ignition problems, and addressing error codes. We’re trained on major tankless brands and keep common parts in stock. Tankless systems often need different maintenance than traditional units, and we’ll explain what your specific system requires.
Water heater leaks come from several sources: loose connections, corroded tanks, faulty pressure relief valves, or worn heating element gaskets. Small leaks from connections are usually simple fixes, but tank corrosion means replacement is needed. Gas water heater leaks can be more serious if gas lines are involved. Any leak should be addressed quickly to prevent water damage and higher utility bills. If you smell gas near your water heater, shut off the gas supply and call us immediately. Most leaks start small but get worse over time, so early repair prevents bigger problems.
Rumbling, popping, or banging sounds usually indicate sediment buildup in the tank bottom. As water heats, it bubbles up through the sediment layer creating noise. This is common in areas with hard water and can reduce efficiency. Whistling sounds often point to restricted water flow or pressure issues. Crackling noises in gas units might indicate condensation on the burner. While most noises aren’t immediately dangerous, they signal maintenance needs or developing problems. Flushing the tank removes sediment, but severe buildup might require professional cleaning or component replacement.
Simple repairs like replacing a heating element or thermostat typically run $150-300. More complex issues involving gas valves, pressure relief valves, or multiple components can cost $300-600. Emergency service calls may include additional fees for after-hours work. You’ll always get upfront pricing before work begins, so there are no surprises. The final cost depends on the specific problem, parts needed, and labor involved. Most repairs are significantly less expensive than replacement, which starts around $1,200-2,000 for a new unit installed.
