Compare memberships →Know the signs
A diagnosis tells you which. These are the signs we look for.
A leaking tank cannot be repaired. Valves and fittings often can.
Rust in the hot water only points to a corroding tank or anode rod.
Sediment on the bottom of the tank. A flush may fix it.
A failed element, thermostat or dip tube, or a tank too small for the house.
How it works
Most replacements are installed in a few hours.
We test the unit, with manufacturer support, and check its safety controls.
You get repair and replacement prices side by side.
The new unit is installed, tested and the old one hauled away.
