What customers say about this service

  • Rated 5.0 out of 5

    The tank was rumbling and the relief valve dripped. He flushed out a bucket of sediment, replaced the valve, and showed me how to do the yearly flush myself.

  • Rated 4.0 out of 5

    No hot water on a Monday morning. The element had burned out and the thermostat was weak, so both were replaced the same day. Good work; I only wish the arrival window had been shorter than four hours.

Repair or replace?

A failed thermostat, element, or gas valve on a heater under eight years old is worth repairing. A leaking tank is not: the tank itself has failed. We price both when it's close.

What size do I need?

40 gallons suits one or two bathrooms, 50 gallons a family of four. We check your current tank and how you use hot water before we recommend a size.

Is the price installed?

Yes: tank, connectors, relief valve, the permit, and the install. Add the expansion tank and haul-away if you need them.

How long am I without hot water?

Most replacements are done in one visit, with hot water back the same evening.
