Complete Water Heater Solutions

Every Type of Water Heater

We repair all water heater types – traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas, electric, and hybrid models. Whether it’s a heating element, thermostat, gas valve, or something more complex, we have the parts and expertise.

Our service includes full diagnosis, quality replacement parts, and testing to make sure everything works properly. We also check for potential issues that could cause problems later, so you’re not dealing with another breakdown next month.

Every repair comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Water heater repair costs vary depending on what’s broken, but most common repairs range from $200-600. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are on the lower end, while more complex issues like gas valve replacement cost more. We always give you an upfront price before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprise charges or hidden fees after the job is done.
Yes, we offer same-day water heater repair throughout South San Francisco when you call before 3 PM. Our trucks are stocked with the most common replacement parts, so we can complete most repairs during the first visit. For emergency situations, we also provide after-hours service. If we can’t fix it the same day due to parts availability, we’ll let you know upfront and get the right part as quickly as possible.
Absolutely. We repair all major tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and Noritz. Tankless units have different issues than traditional tank water heaters – things like mineral buildup, ignition problems, or flow sensor issues. We carry tankless-specific parts and have the diagnostic equipment needed to troubleshoot these systems properly. Many tankless repairs can be completed the same day.
If your water heater is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. We’ll always be honest about whether a repair is worth it or if you’re better off replacing the unit. Signs that repair might work include inconsistent hot water, strange noises, or minor leaks. If the tank is cracked, severely corroded, or you’re having frequent breakdowns, replacement is typically the better choice.
All our water heater repairs come with a warranty on both parts and labor. Parts warranties vary by manufacturer but typically range from 1-3 years. Our labor is guaranteed for one full year from the repair date. If the same problem happens again within the warranty period, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge. This warranty covers the specific repair we performed, giving you peace of mind that the work is done right.
