Water Heaters

Installs and replacements

We install and replace water heaters for homes and for businesses.

That covers tank heaters and electric tankless units, set in a garage, a laundry room or a closet.

A heater is more than the tank.

It also needs water lines, a shut-off valve and a safe drain for the relief line.

We make those connections properly, so the unit works well and a leak has somewhere safe to go.

Before the new heater goes in, we look at the lines and valves around the old one and tell you what we find.

If you are not sure whether to repair or replace, call and describe what the heater is doing.

What it covers

Water Heaters, covered end to end.

  1. 01

    Tank water heaters

    Tank heaters in garages, laundry rooms and closets, replaced or newly installed with clean connections.

  2. 02

    Electric tankless

    Electric tankless units mounted on the wall, for homes and businesses that want hot water on demand.

  3. 03

    Moving a heater

    Heater in a bad spot? We can set it in a new location and run the water, drain and relief lines to match.

  4. 04

    Shut-off valves

    A shut-off on the cold supply lets you stop water to the heater without shutting off the whole house.

  5. 05

    Drain and relief lines

    The relief valve needs a line that runs to a safe drain, so a release does not soak the floor.

  6. 06

    Homes and businesses

    Houses, condos, shops and offices. Tell us about the building and how much hot water it needs.

The honest answer

Signs it is time to replace

A water heater usually gives warning before it quits.

Four signs are worth acting on.

Inconsistent hot water: it turns cold partway through a shower, or runs out sooner than it used to.

Unusual noises from the tank, such as popping, rumbling or knocking.

Rust on the tank or fittings, or a rusty color in the hot water.

Leaking around the tank.

Sometimes it is a fitting we can fix.

If the tank itself has failed, it needs replacing.

Water heaters in South Florida homes

South Florida homes have no basements, so the heater usually sits in a garage, a laundry room or a closet.

A tank in a closet or laundry room can damage the floor and wall if it leaks, so the drain line matters.

Garages run hot and humid, and salt air near the coast is hard on fittings and metal.

Water from the aquifer tends to be hard, and hard water can leave scale in the bottom of a tank.

If the old spot is cramped or hard to reach, we can move the heater and plan the new lines before we start.
