Your staff provided "First Class" Quality service in a stressful event. A leaking gas water heater is no joke. We discovered the problem a noon and called several other companies to get help. We have never needed an emergency plumber so your receptionist William S

They came out on a Sunday late afternoon emergency to help with a leaky water heater. They stopped the water loss and the next day, first thing in the morning, they came to install a brand new water heater. Great service people! Thank you. Erika C

After hours, emergency service was superior. Technician returned call within minutes and drove over 30 miles in pouring rain to assist. Hot water heater was flooding in the garage. Technician was calm, knowledgeable, capable, and polite. Technician was confident and determined to complete work and replaced hot water heater. We are grateful. Colleen J

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the life span of a water heater?

The average conventional water heater (the kind with a water tank) will last eleven years before it needs to be replaced. However, we've seen many water heaters last 20 years or longer if they were well maintained and the local water is soft with a low mineral content. You can expect a tankless water heater to last around 20 years if it is properly maintained.

Why do I not have any hot water?

Most likely something is preventing your water heater from making hot water. If you have a gas water heater, check to be sure that the pilot light is operating. If you have an electric water heater, check that your water heater is getting power. Be careful working with gas or electricity. If you don't feel safe, call a plumber.

How do I maintain my water heater?

There are different maintenance requirements for conventional gas and electric water heaters and with tankless water heaters. Check your manufacturer's recommendations and follow them carefully. However, in general terms, you'll want to drain sediment from your water heater tank on an annual basis and tankless water heaters will require at least an annual descaling to keep them operating efficiently.

What is the most common problem with water heaters?

The most common problem with gas water heaters is the pilot light. Either it won't stay lit or there are problems with the ignitor that prevent it from lighting. Either condition will prevent the unit from heating water.
