Water Heater Repair Process

Simple Process, Fast Results

First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong with your water heater. Not just the obvious symptom, but the root cause that’s creating the problem. This means checking electrical connections, gas lines, heating elements, thermostats, and water pressure.

Next, we explain what we found in plain terms and give you upfront pricing for the repair. No surprises, no hidden fees. If your water heater needs replacement instead of repair, we’ll explain why and what your options are.

Then we get to work. Most water heater repairs can be completed the same day with parts we carry on our trucks. For replacements, we handle everything from removing your old unit to installing and testing your new water heater. You’ll have hot water flowing again as quickly as possible.

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

If your water heater is less than 8-10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. Signs you need replacement include age over 10-12 years, multiple recent repairs, rusty water, or significant leaking from the tank itself. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement is the better investment for your Gold River home.
The most common issues we see in Gold River are mineral buildup from hard water, failed heating elements in electric units, and thermostat problems. Gas water heaters often have pilot light or gas valve issues. The mineral content in our local water can cause sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and eventually damages components. Regular maintenance helps, but most homeowners don’t think about their water heater until it stops working.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem. 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 flushing might take longer. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can usually complete repairs the same day. Water heater replacement typically takes 3-5 hours including removal of the old unit.
Yes, we service both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Tankless units have different components and require specialized knowledge to diagnose and repair properly. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup in the heat exchanger, ignition problems, and flow sensor issues. We have the tools and experience to service major tankless brands and can often repair them the same day.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair service for Gold River residents. We understand that losing hot water can’t always wait for regular business hours, especially in winter or when you have a house full of people. Emergency service is available for situations like significant leaking, complete loss of hot water, or gas-related safety concerns. Emergency rates apply for after-hours service.
Our water heater repairs come with a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and parts used, but typically ranges from 90 days to one year. Quality parts from reputable manufacturers often include their own warranties as well. We stand behind our work and will return to address any issues related to the repair we performed at no additional charge during the warranty period.
