We repair and service every type of water heater you’ll find in Coloma homes. Traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas-powered, electric, and hybrid models – our technicians know them all inside and out.
Coloma’s mix of older and newer homes means we see everything from 20-year-old units that just need a simple fix to modern high-efficiency systems requiring specialized parts. We stock components for all major brands and can source hard-to-find parts for older models.
Emergency service means exactly that – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Weekend water heater failure? Holiday breakdown? We’re available when other companies are closed, because hot water emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
Most water heater repairs in Coloma range from $200 to $600, depending on the problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a thermostat or heating element typically cost $200-$350, while more complex issues like gas valve replacement run $400-$600.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees or surprise charges when the job’s done. Many customers tell us their final bill came in lower than our initial estimate because the repair was simpler than expected.
Emergency service calls include a diagnostic fee that’s applied toward your repair cost if you choose to move forward with the work.
Most water heater repairs are completed within 1-3 hours once our technician arrives. Simple problems like a bad heating element or thermostat usually take 30-60 minutes to fix.
More complex issues like gas valve problems or extensive electrical work might take 2-3 hours. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe after diagnosing the problem, so you can plan your day accordingly.
Our trucks carry the most common water heater parts, which means we can complete most repairs the same day without waiting for parts orders. You get your hot water back quickly, not days later.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement cost, 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 honestly. If your 12-year-old unit needs a $500 repair, we’ll explain why spending that money on an aging system might not be your best option. If it’s a simple $200 fix on a 6-year-old heater, repair is the clear choice.
Age, efficiency, and total repair costs all factor into this decision. We’ll give you the information you need to make the right choice for your budget and situation.
Yes, we repair and maintain all tankless water heater brands including Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and Takagi. Tankless units require specialized knowledge and tools that many general plumbers don’t have.
Common tankless issues we handle include mineral buildup affecting performance, ignition problems, and error codes that shut down the system. We also perform annual maintenance to keep your tankless unit running efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns.
Coloma’s hard water can be particularly tough on tankless systems, so we recommend annual descaling service to maintain peak performance and extend equipment life.
The most common sudden failures are heating element burnout in electric units and gas valve problems in gas water heaters. These components can fail without warning, leaving you with no hot water overnight.
Sediment buildup accelerates component failure by forcing parts to work harder. Coloma’s mineral-rich water creates more sediment than many areas, which is why regular maintenance matters here.
Electrical issues like bad thermostats or wiring problems can also cause instant failure. Age plays a role too – components that have been working for 8-10 years are more likely to fail suddenly than newer parts.
We provide true 24/7 emergency water heater repair service throughout Coloma. When you call our emergency line, you reach a real person who can dispatch a technician, not an answering service that takes messages.
Emergency calls typically receive 2-4 hour response times, even on weekends and holidays. We understand that losing hot water isn’t something you can wait until Monday to fix, especially with families depending on hot water for daily routines.
Emergency service includes the same transparent pricing and quality workmanship as regular appointments. You pay for the convenience of immediate response, but you’re not gouged because of the timing.
