Tankless Water Heater Repair

Complete Water Heater Solutions

We handle both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. Each type has different common issues, and we’ve got the experience to diagnose and repair both effectively.

For tankless units, we address problems like mineral buildup, ignition issues, and error codes. Traditional tank units often need heating element replacement, thermostat repairs, or leak fixes. We carry the parts for most common repairs.

Pacifica’s coastal location means your water heater works harder due to mineral content and environmental factors. We factor this into our repairs and can recommend maintenance steps to extend your unit’s life and prevent future breakdowns.

How much does water heater repair cost in Pacifica?

Most water heater repairs in Pacifica range from $200 to $600, depending on what’s wrong and which parts need replacement. Simple fixes like thermostat or heating element replacement are on the lower end, while more complex issues like gas valve problems cost more. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges after the repair is complete.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of a new unit, repair usually makes sense. For units over 10 years old with major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest guidance based on the unit’s age, condition, and repair costs. We don’t push unnecessary replacements – if a repair will give you several more years of reliable service, we’ll tell you.
Most water heater repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Simple issues like replacing a heating element or thermostat can be done in under an hour. More complex repairs, like fixing gas line connections or replacing multiple components, may take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts on our trucks, so we rarely need to schedule a return visit. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling, and we work efficiently to restore your hot water as quickly as possible.
Yes, we repair all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and Noritz. Tankless units have different issues than traditional tanks – often related to mineral buildup, ignition problems, or error codes. We have the specialized tools and knowledge to diagnose these systems properly. Common tankless repairs include descaling, replacing ignition components, and fixing flow sensor issues. We also perform regular maintenance to keep tankless units running efficiently.
Turn off the water supply to your water heater immediately and call us for emergency service. Small leaks from fittings or the temperature relief valve can often be repaired. However, leaks from the tank itself usually mean the unit needs replacement. We’ll assess the leak’s location and severity to determine if repair is possible. For emergency situations, we provide same-day service to prevent water damage to your home and restore your hot water supply.
