What are the signs your water heater needs repair?
Your water heater needs repair when the hot water runs out, turns odd, or the tank shows damage. Call us if you notice:
- No hot water
- Hot water that runs out quickly
- Rusty, discolored or smelly water
- Sediment building up in the tank
- Rumbling or other unusual noises
- Water leaking at the base of the unit
- A pilot light that will not stay lit, or a breaker that keeps tripping
A leaking water heater is an emergency plumbing repair, and we are available 24/7 for those.
Should you repair or replace your water heater?
Repair it if the fix is small and the unit is under 10 years old. Replace it if the tank itself leaks, the unit is past repair, or it is over 10 years old. What else helps decide:
- A small part, like an element or thermostat, is usually a repair
- Repeat repairs on an older unit add up
- Rusty water and heavy sediment point to a tank near the end of its life
We tell you which one it is and what it costs before we start. Our technicians are not on commission or sales incentives, so there is no push toward a bigger job.
Does an electric water heater need an electrician?
Sometimes. A new electric water heater can need a new breaker or wiring, and our licensed electrician handles that.
Elsewhere that means two contractors. We are a plumber and an electrician in Henderson in one company, so the water heater and its circuit are one call and one crew.
What does a water heater replacement visit look like?
A replacement is four steps: estimate, remove, install, test.
- Estimate. We look at the unit, the connections and the circuit, then give you a free estimate.
- Drain and remove. We drain the old tank and take it out.
- Set and connect. We set the new water heater and connect the water lines and the power.
- Test. We check the connections, the temperature and the circuit before we leave.
How much does water heater repair or replacement cost in Henderson?
The price depends on the job, so we give you a free estimate before we start. What moves it:
- Repair or replacement
- The size and type of water heater
- Electric or gas
- Whether the circuit, breaker or wiring needs work
- Access to the unit and how it is installed now
No hidden fees. Financing is available through Foundation Finance if you need to spread out the cost.
