When Your Home Isn’t Comfortable

We’ll Help You Figure Out What’s Wrong

A water heater usually gives warning signs before it quits: showers that run cold sooner, rumbling from the tank, rusty water or a little moisture around the base.

We test the elements, thermostat, gas controls, valves and connections to find what failed. If it’s a part, we’ll fix it. If the tank is at the end of its life, we’ll tell you honestly.

Two minutes into the shower, the water goes cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

Turn off the power or gas to the water heater and shut off the cold water supply valve on top of the tank. Then give us a call.

Why does my hot water run out so fast?

Often it's a failed heating element or sediment built up in the tank. We'll find the cause and fix it.

Can you repair my water heater the same day?

Many repairs can be done the same day. We'll let you know when we arrive.

How much does water heater repair cost?

It depends on what we find. We start with a $99 diagnostic that goes toward your repair, and you'll get an upfront price before any work begins.
