Water Heater Repair Process

Here's How We Fix It

First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong with your water heater. No guessing, no assumptions – we test components, check connections, and identify the real problem before touching anything.

Then we explain what we found in plain terms. If it’s a simple fix, we handle it. If you need parts, we tell you the cost upfront. If your water heater is beyond repair, we’ll explain why replacement makes more sense than throwing money at a dying system.

Once you approve the work, we complete the repair efficiently and test everything to make sure your hot water is flowing properly. We clean up our work area and walk you through what we did, so you know your system is running right.

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

Age and repair cost are the main factors. If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, fixing it usually makes sense. Signs pointing toward replacement include multiple recent repairs, rust-colored water, or a tank that’s leaking from the bottom. We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with upfront costs, so you can make the decision that’s right for your budget and situation.
Mountain conditions create specific issues we see regularly. Heating elements burn out faster due to mineral deposits from well water. Freezing temperatures can damage pipes and connections. Altitude affects gas combustion in older units. Vacation rentals often have sediment buildup from inconsistent use. Most of these problems are repairable if caught early, which is why we focus on thorough diagnosis before recommending any work.
Most repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem and parts availability. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement or heating element swaps are usually done within an hour. More complex issues involving gas components or extensive electrical work might take longer. We carry common parts for both tank and tankless systems, so we can complete most repairs the same day without return trips.
Yes, we handle repairs on gas, electric, and tankless water heater systems. Each type has different components that can fail – gas units have thermocouples and gas valves, electric systems have heating elements and thermostats, tankless units have flow sensors and heat exchangers. Our technicians are trained on all types and carry the diagnostic tools needed to identify problems quickly regardless of your system type.
Turn off the power (breaker for electric, gas valve for gas units) and shut off the water supply valve at the top of the tank. Small leaks from fittings or the pressure relief valve might be simple repairs. Leaks from the tank bottom usually mean replacement is needed. Don’t ignore small leaks – they typically get worse and can cause water damage. Call us for same-day diagnosis so we can determine if it’s a repairable issue or if you need a new water heater.
Repair costs vary based on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement typically run $150-250. Heating element replacement usually costs $200-350. More complex repairs involving gas components or tankless system parts can range $300-600. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. If repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost, we’ll discuss both options honestly.
