Electric Water Heaters

Electric water heaters remain a dependable choice for many homes, especially when space is limited.

We install:

  • Standard electric water heaters

  • Lowboy / short electric water heaters for crawlspaces

  • High-efficiency electric units

 

Perfect for tight areas and low-clearance installations.

Natural Gas & Propane Water Heaters

Gas water heaters heat faster and are highly efficient. We install and replace both natural gas and propane models.

Services include:

  • Safe gas line connections

  • Proper venting and draft setup

  • Code-compliant installation

  • Full performance testing

  • If you're upgrading or replacing an older unit, we ensure correct sizing and safe operation.

Power Vent Water Heaters

Homes without a traditional vertical chimney vent often need a power vent system.

Power vent installations include:

  • Sidewall venting

  • Fan-assisted exhaust systems

  • Gas line and electrical hookups

  • Code-compliant vent materials

 

We ensure proper airflow and quiet operation.

Direct Vent Water Heaters

Direct vent units pull air from outdoors and vent directly outside, making them ideal for tight or sealed spaces.

We provide:

  • Proper horizontal venting

  • Sealed combustion installation

  • Safe and efficient operation testing

 

A great choice for safety and energy savings.

Attic services include:

We ensure attic installations are safe and protected against leaks.

  • High-capacity family-sized units

  • Proper venting and expansion tank installation

We make sure the system runs efficiently and consistently.

Water Heater Recirculation Pump Installation

Tired of waiting for hot water? A recirculation pump delivers faster hot water to your fixtures.

Benefits:

  • Hot water arrives quickly

  • Reduced water waste

  • Great for large homes or long pipe runs

  • Optional timer or smart controls

 

We install pumps on both tank and tankless systems.

Water Heater Repair

If your water heater is acting up, we can often repair it instead of replacing it.

We fix:

  • No hot water

  • Pilot light problems

  • Heating element failure

  • Thermostat issues

  • Leaks at pipes or valves

  • Odd noises or odors

  • Low hot water output

 

We always take a repair-first approach when it's cost-effective and safe.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service or Replacement

  • Leaking tank

  • Rust-colored water

  • Running out of hot water quickly

  • Popping or rumbling noises

  • Water temperature fluctuations

  • Unit is 10–15+ years old

  • Foul-smelling hot water

 

Addressing issues early can prevent major water damage.
