Common questions

What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?

The most common issue is a lack of hot water or a pilot light that won't stay lit. This can be due to sediment buildup in traditional tanks. For tankless units, it might be a sensor issue or a problem with the gas or water flow. We can diagnose and fix these problems.

Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?

Often, yes, especially if the issue is minor and the unit is not too old. Small repairs can extend its life. However, if the unit is nearing the end of its lifespan or has major damage, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. We help you make that decision.
