Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my water heater making noise?
Rumbling or popping often comes from sediment buildup in the tank. Flushing may help, but if the tank is old or leaking, replacement may be the better call.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank is leaking, replacement is usually needed. If a single part failed and the tank is in good shape, a repair can make sense. We will explain your options.
I smell gas near my water heater. What do I do?
Leave the building right away and call your gas utility or 911 first. Do not use switches or flames. After the area is safe, call us for repair.
How long do water heaters last?
The U.S. Department of Energy notes most conventional tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years. Age is a key factor in repair vs replace.
Can you work on both gas and electric heaters?
Yes. We repair and replace both gas and electric water heaters.
