Somerset Water Heater Services

Complete Water Heater Solutions

We repair all types of water heaters—traditional tank systems, tankless units, gas, electric, and hybrid models. Whether it’s a heating element failure, thermostat issue, pilot light problem, or tank leak, we handle it. Somerset’s mineral-rich water creates specific challenges for water heaters. Sediment buildup is common here, causing that banging noise you might hear and making your system work harder than it should. We flush tanks, replace anode rods, and clear mineral deposits that reduce efficiency. Our emergency service means you don’t have to schedule around business hours. Water heater problems don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. Call us at 2 AM or on Sunday—we’ll be there.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

If your water heater is under 10 years old, repair usually makes sense. Look for signs like inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, or minor leaks around fittings—these are often fixable issues. However, if you’re seeing rusty water, major leaks from the tank itself, or your unit is over 12 years old with multiple problems, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. The key is getting a professional diagnosis quickly. Small problems become expensive ones when ignored, and we’ve seen too many customers wait until a minor leak becomes a basement flood.

What causes that banging noise coming from my water heater?

That banging or popping sound is almost always sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank. Somerset’s mineral-rich water leaves deposits that harden over time, creating pockets where water gets trapped and heated rapidly. When this trapped water turns to steam, it creates those loud pops and bangs. Besides being annoying, this sediment makes your water heater work harder and less efficiently, driving up your energy bills. The solution is flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup. We recommend this maintenance annually for Somerset homes. It’s much cheaper than replacing a water heater that failed prematurely due to sediment damage.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most repairs take 1-2 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat can be done in under an hour if we have the parts on our truck. More complex issues like tank flushing or gas line repairs might take 2-3 hours. If we need to order specific parts, we’ll typically return within 24-48 hours to complete the work. For emergency calls, we prioritize getting your hot water restored as quickly as possible. Sometimes that means a temporary fix while we order the right part for a permanent solution. We’ll always explain your options and timeline upfront.

Can you repair tankless water heaters too?

Absolutely. Tankless water heaters have different components than traditional tanks, but we’re trained on all major brands and models. Common tankless issues include mineral buildup in the heat exchanger, ignition problems, and sensor malfunctions. Tankless units actually need more regular maintenance than traditional tanks, especially in Somerset where mineral content can clog the heat exchanger. We recommend annual descaling to prevent expensive repairs and maintain efficiency. We carry parts for most tankless brands and can often complete repairs the same day. If your tankless unit isn’t heating properly or showing error codes, we can diagnose and fix the issue quickly.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair service?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater repair throughout Somerset. We understand that water heater failures don’t happen on schedule—they happen when you need hot water most. Our emergency service covers complete water heater failures, major leaks, gas-related issues, and any situation where you’re without hot water. We aim to respond within 2 hours for true emergencies. Emergency service does carry a premium, but we’re upfront about pricing. Sometimes a quick emergency fix can get your hot water flowing again while we schedule a more comprehensive repair during regular hours.

What's included in your water heater repair service?

Every water heater repair starts with a complete diagnostic inspection. We test all components, check for leaks, examine the tank condition, and identify the root cause of your problem—not just the symptoms. Your repair includes the labor, any standard parts needed, and a thorough system test to ensure everything works properly. We also explain what we found, what we fixed, and any maintenance recommendations to prevent future issues. We clean up our work area and provide a clear receipt showing exactly what was done. If the same problem occurs within our warranty period, we’ll return at no charge to make it right.
