Types of Water Heaters We Service & Install

Water heaters aren’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Understanding the difference between each type can help you find the best option for your home and lifestyle. Here’s a look at the different types of water heaters we install.

Gas water heaters

Gas water heaters quickly heat up water using a burner. They’re cost-effective, reliable, and work even if there’s a power outage. While some homeowners run into issues with the pilot light, burners, or sediment buildup, these units generally operate smoothly with routine maintenance.

Electric water heaters

Electric water heaters use internal heating elements to warm water. They’re energy-efficient, safe, and generally have lower upfront costs. Issues like tripped breakers, faulty elements, and sediment buildup can occur, but proper installation and annual tune-ups help avoid these issues.

Tankless water heaters

Tankless water heaters provide on-demand hot water, so you never need to worry about running low. They can be electric or natural gas powered, depending on your needs. Although tankless styles tend to be more expensive up front, their energy efficiency and long lifespan help you save big over time. The lack of a storage tank also gives tankless water heaters a small footprint, making them great for compact homes where space is at a premium.

Traditional storage tank water heaters

Tank-based electric or gas water heaters are the traditional style you’re likely familiar with. They utilize a storage tank to hold a large amount of hot water that’s ready needed, though reheating the water once the stored volume is used up can take some time. These models are among the most affordable, easy to use, and widely available.

Water Heater Repair Services

There’s nothing worse than hopping in the shower to feel a shock of freezing cold water running down your back. When your water heater starts acting up, our team is here to help with quick, reliable water heater repairs.

Common water heater problems we fix

Our technicians have the tools and expertise to tackle any water heater issue that comes their way. The top problems we fix in North Carolina homes include:

Lack of hot water
Leaks from the tank or connections
Strange noises
Faulty pilot lights
Burnt-out heating elements
Fluctuating temperatures

When to call for professional water heater repair

When your water heater starts showing signs of trouble, don’t hesitate to contact our team. The earlier you can catch any issues, the less likely they are to turn into costly damage or even a full replacement. The top red flags to watch out for include:

Strange noises
Leaks
Inconsistent hot water
Rust-colored water
Spikes in your energy bill

While trying to repair these problems on your own may be tempting, it’s best to leave it to our experts. Handing gas lines, electrical components, or pressurized hot water tanks on your own can pose a serious risk to your health and safety. With the proper training and tools, we’ll repair your system while keeping your household safe from any potential hazards.

Water Heater Maintenance Services

Routine water heater maintenance is key to keeping your system running in top condition so you’re never met with a freezing stream coming from your taps.

Why regular water heater maintenance is essential

By scheduling annual water heater maintenance with our experts, you’ll enjoy an extended system lifespan, improved energy efficiency, and fewer repairs. When our techs arrive to tune up your unit, we’ll perform a thorough checklist to ensure everything runs smoothly inside and out.

Tasks we’ll perform include:

Flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup
Inspecting the anode rod for corrosion
Checking the thermostat and heating elements
Testing the pressure relief valve
Confirming gas connections and vents are secure

Water Heater Installation & Replacement

Even with rapid repairs and regular maintenance, you’ll still need to replace your water heater at some point. With our professional installation and replacement services, we’ll help you find the right unit for your home and safely install it to keep hot water flowing through your taps. Thanks to our easy payment plans, you won’t even have to worry about upfront costs.

When to replace your water heater

Most water heaters last around 10 to 15 years, after which you’ll start noticing signs that they’re due for an upgrade. The most common warning signs include:

Frequent and costly repairs
Rusty or discolored water coming from the taps
Running out of hot water quickly
The system is taking too long to warm up water
Leaks or structural damage to the tank

Choosing the right water heater for your home

Before making the switch to a new water heater, it’s important to consider which model is best for your home. The top factors to consider include:

Gas vs. electric
Tankless vs. traditional
Proper sizing
Energy efficiency
