We install a wide range of systems, including:
- Gas hot water tanks
- Electric hot water tanks
- High-efficiency hot water tanks
- Residential water heaters from 30 to 120 gallons
- Commercial hot water tanks
If you’re replacing an older unit, we’ll help you choose the right size and model based on your household or business’ hot water usage, energy goals, and budget.

Many water heater problems begin gradually before becoming complete failures. Addressing issues early can often prevent larger repairs and reduce the likelihood of losing hot water unexpectedly.
Our technicians diagnose and repair a wide variety of hot water tank issues, including:
- No hot water

We’ll inspect your system carefully, identify the source of the problem, and explain whether repair or replacement is the most practical option based on the condition and age of your water heater.
Hot Water Tank Retrofits

Our retrofit services can include replacing:
We also inspect for sediment buildup inside the tank, which can reduce efficiency, increase operating costs, and shorten the lifespan of your water heater. Addressing these issues through preventative maintenance can help you get more value from your existing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most conventional hot water tanks last between 8 and 15 years. The overall lifespan depends on factors such as water quality, maintenance, usage, and the quality of the original installation. Regular servicing can help extend the life of your system.
That depends on the age of the unit and the nature of the problem. If the issue involves a replaceable component and the tank is still in good condition, repairs may be the most economical choice. If the tank is leaking, heavily corroded, or nearing the end of its expected lifespan, replacement is often the better long-term investment.
The right size depends on the number of occupants, bathrooms, appliances, and your daily hot water usage. Installing a tank that’s too small can leave you without enough hot water, while an oversized system may use more energy than necessary. We can recommend a system that’s properly sized for your property.
