Complete Water Heater Solutions

Everything Your Water Heater Needs

We handle all types of water heater problems. Pilot lights that won’t stay lit, heating elements that burn out, thermostats that fail, and tanks that leak. Traditional gas and electric units, plus tankless water heater repair service.

Our service includes thorough diagnostics, quality replacement parts, and testing to make sure everything works correctly. We also check for potential safety issues and let you know if we spot anything concerning.

For older units that keep breaking down, we’ll give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. Sometimes fixing an old water heater is throwing good money after bad.

How long does water heater repair usually take?

Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually done within an hour. More complex issues like gas valve replacement might take longer. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs the same day without waiting for parts to arrive.

Should I repair or replace my old water heater?

If your water heater is over 10 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement often makes more sense financially. We’ll give you honest advice based on the repair cost versus remaining lifespan. For newer units with minor problems, repair is usually the smart choice. We’ll explain the pros and cons so you can make the best decision for your situation and budget.

Do you work on tankless water heaters?

Yes, we provide tankless water heater repair service for all major brands. Tankless units have different components than traditional water heaters, but we’re trained on their systems and carry the specialized parts they need. Common tankless problems include mineral buildup, ignition issues, and flow sensor problems. We also perform the regular maintenance these units need to work efficiently.

What causes water heaters to stop working suddenly?

The most common causes are failed heating elements in electric units, pilot light problems in gas units, and faulty thermostats in both types. Sediment buildup can also cause overheating and component failure. In Colfax’s climate, temperature fluctuations can stress older components. Age is usually the underlying factor – parts simply wear out over time and need replacement.

How much does water heater repair cost?

Repair costs depend on what’s wrong and which parts need replacement. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement typically cost less than major component repairs like gas valve replacement. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost. Our goal is fair pricing for quality repairs that actually solve the problem long-term.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair service?

Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair when you can’t wait for regular business hours. We understand that losing hot water creates real problems for your family or business. Our emergency service includes evenings and weekends when other plumbers aren’t available. Emergency calls do have different pricing due to the after-hours response, but we’ll explain all costs upfront.
