Complete Water Heater Solutions Fremont

Every Type of Water Heater

We repair and replace traditional tank water heaters, tankless units, and hybrid systems. Common fixes include heating element replacement, thermostat issues, gas valve problems, and leak repairs.

Many Fremont homes have water heaters from the 1990s that are reaching the end of their lifespan. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter long-term choice.

Our service includes diagnostic testing, parts replacement, safety inspections, and warranty coverage. We stock quality parts and can handle emergency situations that can’t wait for special orders.

Most water heater repairs in Fremont range from $200-$600, depending on the problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element typically cost $200-$350, while more complex issues like gas valve replacement can run $400-$600. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Emergency service calls may include additional fees, but we’ll discuss all costs when you schedule your appointment.
If your water heater is over 10 years old and the repair cost is more than half the price of a new unit, replacement usually makes more sense. We consider the age of your unit, frequency of recent repairs, energy efficiency, and your long-term plans. A 15-year-old water heater with a major component failure is typically better replaced, while a 5-year-old unit with a minor issue is worth repairing. We’ll give you honest advice based on your specific situation.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours from start to finish. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat can be done in about an hour. More complex repairs involving gas components or multiple parts might take 2-3 hours. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, so we can complete most repairs the same day without waiting for special orders. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, often same-day service.
Yes, we specialize in tankless water heater repair and maintenance for all major brands. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup, ignition problems, venting issues, and error code diagnostics. Tankless units require different expertise than traditional tank heaters, and our technicians are trained on the specific requirements. We also perform annual maintenance to prevent problems and extend the life of your tankless system, which is especially important in Fremont’s hard water areas.
Turn off the power and water supply immediately if you see significant leaking. Small leaks from fittings can often be repaired, but leaks from the tank itself usually mean replacement is needed. We provide emergency service for water heater leaks because they can cause water damage quickly. Our technician will assess whether the leak can be stopped with a repair or if you need emergency replacement. We’ll help you minimize water damage and get your hot water restored as quickly as possible.
Yes, all our technicians are licensed California plumbers and our company carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We provide proof of insurance when requested and pull permits for water heater installations when required by Fremont building codes. Our licensing means we’re qualified to work on gas and electric water heaters safely and legally. You can verify our credentials, and we’re happy to provide references from other Fremont customers.
