Professional Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Whether you're installing a water heater in a new home, replacing an aging or broken unit, or looking to upgrade to a more efficient system, professional Water Heater Installation & Replacement is crucial for optimal performance and safety.
Signs you may need a new water heater include:
- Your current unit is over 10-12 years old
- Frequent repairs are needed
- The tank is leaking
- There's rust in your hot water
- The tank shows visible signs of corrosion
We can help you navigate the options for a new water heater, considering factors like your household size, hot water demand, energy efficiency goals, and budget. Our installation service includes careful removal of your old unit, proper installation of the new system according to manufacturer specifications and local codes, and testing to ensure everything operates correctly.
We have experience installing and replacing various types of water heaters, including:
- Standard Tank Water Heaters: Both gas and electric models, providing a stored reserve of hot water.
- Tankless Water Heaters: On-demand systems that heat water only when needed, offering energy savings and a continuous supply of hot water.
We'll help you understand the benefits and considerations of each type to find the best fit for your West Covina property.
Water Heater Maintenance for Longevity
Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your water heater, ensuring its efficiency, and preventing unexpected breakdowns. One of the most important maintenance tasks, especially for tank water heaters, is flushing the tank. Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can reduce efficiency, cause noise, and shorten the unit's life.
Our Water Heater Repair maintenance services include thorough inspections and necessary procedures like:
- Flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup
- Checking the anode rod (sacrificial rod that helps protect the tank from corrosion)
- Inspecting connections, valves, and pipes for leaks
- Testing temperature and pressure relief valve
- Checking thermostat and heating elements (for electric heaters)
- Inspecting pilot light and burner assembly (for gas heaters)
Investing in routine maintenance can save you money on energy bills, prevent costly repairs down the line, and provide peace of mind knowing your system is operating safely and effectively. Consider joining our Power Club for scheduled maintenance visits and additional benefits.
Repair or Replace? Making the Right Choice
Deciding whether to repair your existing water heater or replace it can be challenging. As a general rule, if your water heater is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (typically 10-12 years for a tank unit) or if the repair cost is close to the cost of a new installation, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term solution. Frequent breakdowns are also a strong indicator that replacement is advisable. However, for newer units with minor issues, a professional repair can often restore full function. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment of your unit's condition and recommend the best course of action for your West Covina home.
What to Do If You Have a Water Heater Problem
If you notice an issue with your water heater, there are a few initial steps you can safely take while waiting for a professional technician:
- Check Power/Gas: Ensure the unit is receiving power (check breaker for electric) or gas (check valve and pilot light for gas).
- Inspect for Leaks: Visually check around the base of the tank and connections for any signs of water. If there's a significant leak, turn off the water supply to the water heater (usually a valve located above or near the unit) and potentially the main water supply to your home if the leak is severe.
- Lower Thermostat: If the water is too hot, you can try carefully lowering the thermostat setting.
- Listen for Sounds: Note any unusual noises, as this information can help the technician diagnose the issue.
Avoid attempting complex repairs yourself, especially involving gas lines or electrical components, as this can be dangerous. It's always best to call a qualified professional.
Understanding Water Heater Costs
The cost of water heater services in West Covina can vary depending on several factors. For repairs, the cost is influenced by the nature and complexity of the problem, the parts needed, and the age/type of the unit. For installations and replacements, factors include the type and size of the new water heater, whether it's a like-for-like replacement or requires modifications (like switching from tank to tankless), and any necessary plumbing or venting work.
We strive for transparency and will discuss the potential costs involved after diagnosing the issue or assessing your installation needs. We provide assessments for our services. Remember to ask about our available Financing options to help make managing the investment in your home's comfort easier.
