Whether your water isn’t getting hot enough, you’ve noticed rust or strange noises coming from the tank, or you’re ready to replace an older unit, our plumbing team can help. If you need a new water heater, we’ll look at how much hot water your household actually uses along with your existing gas or electric setup. That way, you’re getting a system that makes sense for your home rather than simply replacing your old unit with whatever is closest in size.

FAQs
How can I make my water heater last longer?
Regular maintenance can make a big difference, and one of the most important things you can do is keep sediment from building up inside the tank. Flushing a tank water heater annually can help remove that buildup, which is especially important in homes with mineral-heavy well water. Checking the anode rod every couple of years and keeping your water temperature at a reasonable setting can also help extend the life of the system.
What's the most common water heater maintenance mistake?
Skipping regular flushing is a big one. Over time, sediment settles at the bottom of a tank water heater. As that layer builds up, your water heater has to work harder to heat the water, which can affect performance and put extra wear on the system. Keeping up with routine flushing is a relatively simple way to help your water heater do its job without working harder than it needs to.
What are the signs my water heater needs repair?
Your water heater will usually give you a few clues that something isn’t right. Rusty or discolored hot water, inconsistent temperatures, popping or rumbling noises, or water around the base of the unit are all worth having checked. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement may be the better option. But don’t assume the entire water heater needs to go just because something isn’t working. We’ll take a look first and help you understand your options.
