Everything Your Water Heater Needs

Water heater repair covers everything from heating element replacement to thermostat calibration, gas valve repairs, and leak fixes. Whether you have a traditional tank system or tankless water heater, our service includes thorough diagnosis and targeted repairs.

Elverta homes often deal with hard water that causes sediment buildup and reduces efficiency. Our repair service includes flushing and cleaning when needed, plus recommendations for preventing future problems.

Emergency service is available because water heater failures don’t wait for convenient times. Same-day repairs are standard, not an exception. You also get warranty protection on parts and labor, so if something goes wrong after the repair, we fix it at no additional cost.

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

Age is the biggest factor – most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless units can go 15-20 years. If your unit is relatively new and the problem is isolated (like a faulty heating element or thermostat), repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re dealing with a rusted tank, multiple simultaneous failures, or frequent recurring issues, replacement becomes more cost-effective. A qualified technician can assess your specific situation and give you honest guidance based on the unit’s condition, repair costs, and expected remaining lifespan.

What causes water heaters to stop producing hot water suddenly?

The most common culprits are failed heating elements in electric units or pilot light issues in gas systems. Thermostat problems can also cause complete hot water loss. Sometimes it’s as simple as a tripped circuit breaker for electric units. Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can also interfere with heating efficiency. In tankless systems, mineral buildup in the heat exchanger or sensor malfunctions are typical causes. Most of these issues are repairable without replacing the entire unit, which is why proper diagnosis matters before making any decisions.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs are completed within 2-4 hours, depending on the specific problem. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or heating element swaps often take less than two hours. More complex repairs involving gas components or multiple part replacements might take longer. The diagnostic process typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you’ll know the timeline before work begins. Emergency repairs are prioritized to restore your hot water as quickly as possible, and most common parts are carried on service trucks to avoid delays.

Is it worth repairing an older water heater?

It depends on the specific repair needed and the unit’s overall condition. If your water heater is 6-8 years old and needs a relatively minor repair (under $300-400), it’s usually worth fixing. For units over 10 years old, you need to weigh the repair cost against remaining lifespan and efficiency. A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit, replacement makes more sense. However, age alone isn’t always the deciding factor – a well-maintained 10-year-old unit might be worth repairing, while a neglected 7-year-old unit might not be.

Can I prevent future water heater problems?

Regular maintenance significantly extends water heater life and prevents many common problems. Annual flushing removes sediment buildup that causes efficiency loss and premature failure. Checking and replacing the anode rod every 3-5 years prevents tank corrosion. For gas units, keeping the area around the unit clear and having the venting system inspected helps prevent safety issues. Setting the temperature to 120°F prevents scalding while reducing energy costs. Most importantly, addressing small issues quickly prevents them from becoming major problems that require expensive repairs or full replacement.

Do you service both tank and tankless water heaters?

Yes, CG Plumbing repairs both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Each type has different common issues – tank units typically need heating element, thermostat, or anode rod service, while tankless units more often require descaling, sensor cleaning, or heat exchanger maintenance. The diagnostic approach differs between the two systems, but the goal remains the same: identify the problem accurately and fix it efficiently. Whether you have electric, gas, or hybrid systems, we have experience with all major brands and configurations commonly found in Elverta homes.
