Water Heater Replacement
If you have a water heater that you think might need to be replaced, give us a call. Signs that your water heater could require service include:
- Rusting on the tank
- Rust color coming through in the water
- The water heater is making noises
- Leaks
- Water is colder than normal or not heating properly
Our skilled technicians will assess your situation to see if we can save you money by repairing your water heater. However, if your water heater needs to be replaced, we can coordinate for your new water heater to be delivered while our technicians are draining and removing your old water heater.
Water Heater Maintenance and Repair
In many cases, water heaters can be repaired. Our water heater repair specialists can make an assessment of your water heater based on age, condition, and other factors to help you make the most economical decision. Sometimes water heaters just need to be flushed and cleaned – we can flush and clean your water heater to restore heating capability and improve efficiency.
