Water heater repair

We repair all makes and models of residential water heaters, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense and when it doesn't.

• No hot water, or not enough: pilot, igniter, and gas valve problems; failed heating elements and thermostats; a tank that's too small for your household Why don't I have enough hot water
• Leaks: drain valves, relief valves, fittings, and supply connections. A leak from the tank itself usually means you need to replace it.
• Noise and rusty water: sediment buildup and corrosion Do I really need to drain my water heater
• Tankless problems: error codes, scale and flow issues Tankless Water Heater Service

Water heater replacement and installation

Water heaters have become more efficient over the years, so a new one can cost less to run than the unit it replaces. We help you choose the right type and size, then install it to code.

Water heaters we repair and install:

• Gas tank: the most common choice in homes with gas service
• Electric tank: for homes without gas
• Tankless, gas or electric: endless hot water and more floor space [link: /tankless-water-heater-service-repair-installation]
• Heat pump (hybrid): high-efficiency electric 

Brands: we install all major brands, including Rinnai tankless water heaters. 

Every installation includes:  sizing to your household, haul-away of the old unit, gas, venting, electrical and water connections to code, permits where required, and testing before we leave, and a warranty backed by Geiler!

Same-day replacement: We stock water heaters, so in many cases we can offer same-day replacement.

Hot water faster at the tap: recirculation systems

Waiting at the faucet for hot water wastes water and time. A hot water recirculation system keeps hot water moving through your pipes, so it arrives at the tap much faster. You can add recirculation to many tank and tankless systems.

Water heater maintenance

Regular maintenance helps a water heater last longer and work better, especially in hard water.

• Tank water heaters: flush the sediment, test the temperature and pressure relief valve, and check the anode rod, venting, and connections 
• Tankless water heaters: descale, clean the inlet filter, and check the venting and error history.  Learn about Tankless Water Heaters
