We Handle All Water Heater Types

Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a modern tankless unit, we handle both gas and electric systems. We repair pilot light issues, replace faulty thermostats, fix leaking tanks, and address heating element problems.

Livermore homes often have unique challenges. Older neighborhoods may have water heaters in tight spaces or with outdated connections. Newer areas might have high-efficiency tankless units that require specialized knowledge. Our technicians have experience with all scenarios.

You get honest advice about repair versus replacement. If your water heater can be fixed cost-effectively, we’ll repair it. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll explain why and provide options that fit your budget and needs.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours, depending on the issue. Simple problems like replacing a thermostat or heating element can be done in about an hour. More complex issues like fixing gas connections or replacing multiple components might take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate after diagnosing the problem. We carry common parts on our truck, so most repairs are completed the same day without waiting for special orders.

Should I repair or replace my old water heater?

It depends on the age, condition, and repair cost. If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. For units over 10 years old with major component failures, replacement is often more cost-effective long-term. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option, including energy efficiency differences and warranty coverage.

Do you service tankless water heaters in Livermore?

Yes, we service all types of tankless water heaters, both gas and electric models. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup, ignition problems, and flow sensor malfunctions. Tankless units require different diagnostic tools and repair techniques than traditional tank heaters. Our technicians are trained on major tankless brands and carry specialized parts. We also perform routine maintenance like descaling to prevent future problems and extend your unit’s lifespan.

What causes water heaters to fail in Livermore homes?

Livermore’s hard water is a major factor in water heater problems. Mineral deposits build up in tanks and on heating elements, reducing efficiency and causing premature failure. Sediment accumulation is common, especially in older tank units. Gas water heaters may have pilot light or venting issues, while electric units often have thermostat or heating element problems. Regular maintenance can prevent many issues, but when problems occur, quick professional repair prevents more expensive damage.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair service?

Yes, we offer emergency water heater service for urgent situations like major leaks, gas odors, or complete hot water loss. Emergency calls are prioritized and often handled the same day, including evenings and weekends when possible. We understand that some water heater problems can’t wait, especially during cold weather or when you have guests. Emergency service rates may apply for after-hours calls, but you’ll know the cost upfront before any work begins.

What warranty do you provide on water heater repairs?

All our water heater repair work comes with a warranty on both labor and parts. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and components used, but most repairs are covered for at least 90 days. Manufacturer warranties on replacement parts are also honored. If the same problem occurs within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no additional charge. We explain the warranty details when the repair is completed, and you receive documentation for your records.
