Is Your Water Heater Showing These Signs?

  • No Hot Water: Whether it’s a broken heating element or a pilot light issue, we provide fast diagnostics to restore your hot water.

  • Leaking Tank: A leaking tank is often a sign of internal corrosion. We evaluate if a repair is possible or if a professional replacement is needed.

  • Strange Noises: Popping or rumbling sounds usually indicate sediment buildup. It most likely needs to be flushed.

  • Discolored Water: Rusty or cloudy water can signal an aging anode rod or tank corrosion that needs immediate professional attention.

  • Inconsistent Temperatures: If your water goes from hot to cold, you may have a failing thermostat or a broken dip tube.

  • Unit Age (10+ Years): Most units last 8–12 years. If yours is over a decade old, a professional evaluation can prevent a catastrophic failure before it happens.

Our Approach: Repair Whenever Possible, Replace When Necessary

Extending the Life of Your Unit

Many water heater issues—like sediment buildup, failing heating elements, or broken thermostats—can be resolved with a professional repair. Our team focuses on restoring your system’s efficiency and safety to help you get the maximum lifespan out of your current investment.

Upgrading for Efficiency and Reliability

If a tank is leaking or the repair costs exceed the value of the unit, we provide expert replacement services. We help you choose the right system for your home's needs, from traditional high-efficiency tanks to advanced tankless Navien systems.

Choosing the Right System for Your Home

Traditional Tank Water Heaters

Reliable & Cost Effective

New Bradford White water heater installed alongside an iron and sulfur filtration system to provide clean, odor-free hot water in a Barry County home.

A traditional tank is a dependable choice for many households. We focus in Bradford White installations, known for their durability and performance. These systems offer a lower upfront cost and are a great solution for standard hot water needs.

High-Efficiency Tankless Systems

Endless Hot Water & Space Savings

As Navien-certified technicians, we highly recommend tankless systems for homes seeking endless hot water and lower energy bills. These compact units provide high-efficiency performance, take up significantly less space, and have a longer average lifespan than traditional tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?

Generally, if your unit is under 8 years old and experiencing a specific component failure (like a heating element or thermostat), a repair is the most cost-effective choice. However, if the tank is leaking or the unit is over 10 years old, a replacement is usually recommended to avoid the high cost of emergency water damage.

How long does a typical water heater installation take?

Most standard tank installations are completed within 2 to 4 hours. Tankless conversions can take a bit longer (4 to 6 hours) because they require specialized venting and gas line adjustments. We prioritize getting your hot water back on the same day we start.

Is my water in Barry County hard on my water heater?

Yes, many areas in Nashville, Hastings, and Middleville have higher mineral content (hard water). This leads to sediment buildup, which is why you might hear "popping" noises. We recommend a professional flush once a year to prevent this sediment from burning out your heating elements.

What are the benefits of switching to a Navien Tankless system?

Beyond endless hot water, a Navien system is significantly more energy-efficient and has a lifespan of nearly 20 years—roughly double that of a traditional tank. It also frees up valuable floor space in your utility room or basement.
