Gas water heaters are reliable, but burners, thermocouples, gas valves and venting all wear over time. We diagnose and fix:

• No hot water or a pilot light that will not stay lit
• Not enough hot water for your household
• Popping or rumbling from sediment buildup
• Leaks at fittings, valves or the tank
• Rotten-egg odor or venting problems (call right away)

As a certified Spire Gas Advantage Contractor, our technicians are qualified to work safely on gas lines, valves and venting.

Most electric water heater problems come down to heating elements, thermostats or wiring. We test each component and replace only what has failed. Common signs include lukewarm water, hot water that runs out quickly, a tripping breaker, or discolored water.

Tankless units deliver endless hot water, but Alabama hard water causes scale buildup that reduces performance. We handle error codes, fluctuating temperatures, ignition failures, and annual descaling and flushing to keep your system efficient and protect its warranty.

If your tank is 10 or more years old, leaking from the tank body, or needs frequent repairs, replacement is usually the better investment. We replace:

• Gas water heaters – fast recovery, ideal for larger households
• Electric water heaters – simple installation where gas is not available
• Tankless water heaters – endless hot water and lower energy costs, including tank-to-tankless conversions

We help you choose the right size and fuel type, handle permits and code requirements, haul away the old unit, and test everything before we leave.

A repair usually makes sense when the unit is under about 8 to 10 years old and the problem is a single part such as an element, thermostat or thermocouple. Replacement is usually better when the tank itself is leaking, the unit is past its expected life, or repair costs are approaching the price of a new heater. We give you both options and a written estimate so you can decide.
