Water Heater Repair
Lukewarm showers, rumbling from the tank, rusty hot water, or a puddle at the base are the most common reasons Fort Worth homeowners call us about a water heater. Depending on the symptoms, our water heater repair service checks the burner or elements, thermostat, anode rod, and relief valve. If you spot water around the tank, close the cold-water supply valve on top and call us before the leak spreads.
Water Heater Maintenance
Sediment from hard water settles at the bottom of a tank. There, it can insulate the water from the burner, waste energy, and wear the tank out sooner. Our water heater maintenance service flushes that sediment, tests the relief valve, and inspects the anode rod. Members of our maintenance membership get an annual water heater inspection and flush, plus $50 a year banked toward future equipment like a new water heater. Contact us today to learn more, or to ask about membership options.
Tankless Water Heater Repair
Tankless units shut down and throw error codes when scale builds up on the heat exchanger, a flame sensor gets dirty, or a venting problem trips a safety switch. Our tankless water heater repair service starts with any error codes. Your plumber then cleans or replaces failed parts, or descales the unit if testing points to scale. Hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri are also tough on units mounted outside or in unheated spaces, so ask us about freeze protection while we’re there.
Tankless Water Heater Install
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of keeping a full tank hot all day. Our tankless water heater installation service sizes the unit to your household’s peak demand and handles any gas line and venting changes. Installations start with a free estimate, with an explanation of flexible financing options you may qualify for.
Water Heater Install
When a tank leaks from the seams or can’t keep up with your household anymore, replacement is the safer call. Our water heater installation service removes the old tank, installs a new one sized to your home, brings the venting, relief valve, and connections up to current code, and hauls the old unit away.
Tankless Water Heater Tune-Up
A tankless tune-up is the maintenance visit that helps keep scale from shutting your unit down. Our tankless water heater tune-up flushes hard-water scale from the heat exchanger, cleans the inlet filter, and checks the burner and venting. In Fort Worth, where the water carries plenty of minerals, regular flushing is one of the simplest ways to keep a tankless unit running the way it should.
Why does Fort Worth’s hard water matter for my water heater?
Because the minerals don’t stay in the water. In a tank heater, they settle to the bottom as sediment, and in a tankless unit, they coat the heat exchanger as scale. Either way, the heater can work harder, you may hear rumbling or popping, and the equipment often wears out sooner. That’s why regular flushing matters more here than in places with softer water.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank itself is leaking, it usually needs replacing, because a leak in the tank body can’t really be repaired. If the problem is a part, like a thermostat, heating element, burner component, or relief valve, a repair usually makes sense. We’ll price both, so you can weigh the repair cost against the unit’s age and condition.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
It depends on how your household uses hot water. Tankless units cost more to install, but they don’t keep a full tank hot all day. They also usually outlast tank models. They do need regular descaling with Fort Worth’s hard water, so we’ll factor that upkeep into the conversation before you decide. The Department of Energy’s guide to sizing a new water heater is a good place to compare both.
Why is the relief valve on my water heater dripping?
The temperature and pressure relief valve opens when the tank gets too hot or the pressure inside climbs too high. A drip can point to high incoming water pressure, a failed pressure-reducing valve, or a worn-out relief valve. Whatever you do, don’t cap or plug it. Call (817) 518-3309, and we’ll track down the cause.
Do you offer a maintenance plan for water heaters?
Yes, it’s part of our Plumbing Inspection and Maintenance membership. For $120/year or $9.95/month, you get an annual water heater inspection and flush, water quality and pressure tests, and $50 a year banked toward future equipment. Tankless flushes and service on additional water heaters are available as paid add-ons.
