How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

Most water heater problems can be repaired if the tank isn’t leaking and the unit is less than 10-12 years old. Common repairable issues include faulty heating elements, bad thermostats, pilot light problems, and mineral buildup. However, if your water heater is leaking from the tank, over 12 years old, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes financial sense or if you’d be better off with a new unit.
Most water heater repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat can be done in under an hour. More complex issues like gas valve replacement or extensive mineral buildup cleaning may take 2-3 hours. We come prepared with common replacement parts, so we can usually complete the repair in one visit. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and work with you to schedule the completion as quickly as possible.
Rocklin’s hard water is the biggest culprit behind water heater problems in our area. Mineral deposits build up on heating elements and inside the tank, making your system work harder and fail sooner. We also see issues with sediment accumulation at the bottom of tanks, which reduces efficiency and can cause overheating. Gas water heaters sometimes have venting issues, especially in older homes. Regular maintenance like flushing the tank annually can prevent many of these problems and extend your water heater’s life significantly.
Yes, we service and repair all types of tankless water heaters, including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless systems have different maintenance needs and common problems than traditional tank water heaters. We’re trained on the specific diagnostic procedures and have the specialized tools needed for tankless repairs. Common tankless issues we handle include mineral buildup in the heat exchanger, ignition problems, flow sensor issues, and venting problems. Tankless units actually need more frequent maintenance in hard water areas like Rocklin.
Water heater repair costs vary depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement typically run $150-250, while heating element replacement is usually $200-300. More complex repairs involving gas valves or control boards can range from $300-500. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what the repair will cost. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. If the repair cost approaches the price of a new water heater, we’ll discuss replacement options with you.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair service for urgent situations like complete loss of hot water, gas leaks, or water heater leaks that could cause property damage. We understand that some water heater problems can’t wait until regular business hours, especially during winter months. Emergency service is available with same-day response when possible. While emergency calls may have additional service fees, we’re upfront about all costs before dispatching a technician. We prioritize safety issues like gas leaks and situations where water damage is a concern.
