We repair traditional tank water heaters, tankless units, gas and electric models. Whether you’re dealing with a pilot light that won’t stay lit, a heating element that’s failed, or a tankless unit throwing error codes, we have the experience and parts to fix it.

Castro Valley homes have everything from 20-year-old tank units to newer high-efficiency models. We work on all brands and types because water heater problems don’t wait for convenient timing. Your repair includes quality replacement parts, proper installation, and our warranty on both parts and labor.

Emergency service is available when your water heater fails completely. We also handle routine maintenance and can spot potential problems before they leave you without hot water.

How quickly can you repair my water heater in Castro Valley?

Most water heater repairs in Castro Valley are completed the same day you call. We stock common parts for both tankless and traditional water heaters, so we can usually fix your unit during the first visit. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call. If we need to order a specific part, we’ll let you know upfront and can often provide temporary solutions to restore some hot water while we wait for parts to arrive.

Should I repair or replace my old water heater?

It depends on the age of your unit, the cost of repairs, and how often it’s been breaking down. Generally, if your water heater is over 10 years old and needs expensive repairs, replacement makes more financial sense. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your unit’s condition and explain the costs of both options. We’re not trying to sell you a new water heater if yours can be reliably repaired, but we won’t recommend throwing good money after bad on a unit that’s ready to fail.

What causes water heaters to fail in Castro Valley homes?

The most common problems we see are heating element failures in electric units, thermostat issues, and sediment buildup from our local water conditions. Tankless units often have mineral buildup that affects performance, especially in Castro Valley’s harder water areas. Gas water heaters frequently have pilot light problems or gas valve issues. Age is the biggest factor – most water heaters start having regular problems after 8-10 years, and major failures become common after 12 years.

How much does water heater repair cost in Castro Valley?

Most common repairs like replacing heating elements, thermostats, or gas valves range from $200-500 including parts and labor. More complex issues like tank leaks or complete control system failures can cost more, but we always provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Emergency service calls have a higher trip charge, but the repair costs remain the same. We’ll never surprise you with hidden fees or charges that weren’t discussed beforehand.

Do you service tankless water heaters in Castro Valley?

Yes, we repair and maintain all types of tankless water heaters including gas and electric models from major manufacturers. Tankless units need different expertise than traditional tank water heaters, and we have the specialized tools and training to diagnose and fix them properly. Common tankless problems include mineral buildup, ignition issues, and error codes that indicate specific component failures. We also provide the annual maintenance that tankless units need to operate efficiently and last their full lifespan.

What's included in your water heater repair warranty?

All our water heater repairs include a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and parts used, but we stand behind our work. If the same problem occurs again within the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge. We use quality replacement parts, not cheap alternatives that fail quickly. Our goal is to fix your water heater once and have it work reliably, not to create repeat service calls.
