What's Included in Our Service

Our water heater repair service covers everything from heating element replacement to thermostat repairs, gas valve issues, and leak repairs. We work on all major brands and both tank and tankless systems.

Every service call includes a thorough diagnostic to identify the problem and check for other potential issues. You get honest recommendations about repair versus replacement based on your unit’s age and condition.

We stock common parts on our trucks, so most repairs happen immediately. For specialty components, we source quality parts quickly and return to complete the work. All our repair work comes with a warranty for your peace of mind.

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 near the end of its expected lifespan and having multiple problems, replacement often makes more sense financially. However, if it’s relatively new or having a single issue like a faulty heating element or thermostat, repair is usually the smart choice. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations based on the repair costs versus remaining life expectancy.

What are the most common water heater problems in Herald?

The most frequent issues we see are heating element failures in electric units, thermostat problems, and sediment buildup affecting performance. Gas water heaters commonly have pilot light issues or gas valve problems. Tankless units often need descaling due to mineral deposits in our local water supply. Many homes in Herald have older units that develop tank leaks or corroded components. The good news is that most of these problems are repairable if caught early enough.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually take about an hour. More complex issues like gas valve replacement or extensive leak repairs might take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs the same day. If we need to order a specialty part, we’ll get your unit temporarily working if possible and return quickly to finish the job.

Do you service both gas and electric water heaters?

Yes, we repair all types of water heaters – gas, electric, traditional tank systems, and tankless units. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and fuel types. Gas repairs might involve pilot light issues, gas valve problems, or venting concerns. Electric repairs typically focus on heating elements, thermostats, or electrical connections. We have the tools and expertise for both, plus we understand the local codes and requirements for water heater work in Herald.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

Turn off the power or gas supply to the unit immediately, then shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank. If there’s significant water, turn off the main water supply to your home. Clear any items away from the area and call us right away. Small leaks from fittings or the temperature relief valve might be repairable, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is needed. Don’t wait – water heater leaks can cause serious damage to your home if not addressed quickly.

How much does water heater repair typically cost?

Repair costs vary based on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement might cost $150-250, while heating element replacement typically runs $200-350. More complex repairs involving gas valves or multiple components can cost $300-600. We always diagnose the problem first and give you a clear price before starting any work. If the repair cost approaches 50% of a new water heater’s price and your unit is older, we’ll discuss replacement options to help you make the most economical decision.
