What's Included in Every Service

Every water heater repair includes a thorough diagnosis to identify the root cause, not just the symptoms. Whether you have a traditional tank water heater, tankless system, or gas unit, we have the expertise to fix it right. In Fruitridge Pocket’s older neighborhoods, water heater issues often stem from hard water buildup and aging components. We’re familiar with these local challenges and stock the parts commonly needed for repairs in this area. You’ll receive transparent pricing before any work begins, professional service that respects your time and property, and a repair that’s designed to last. We don’t just patch problems—we solve them.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?

Most water heater repairs take between 1-3 hours, depending on the issue. Simple problems like a faulty thermostat or heating element can often be fixed in under an hour. More complex issues like replacing a gas valve or addressing multiple component failures might take longer. Our technician will give you a time estimate after diagnosing the problem, so you know what to expect.

What are the most common water heater problems in this area?

In Fruitridge Pocket, the most frequent issues are sediment buildup from hard water, faulty heating elements, and thermostat problems. The mineral content in Sacramento’s water supply can cause components to wear out faster than in other areas. Gas water heaters often have pilot light issues or problems with the gas valve. Tankless units sometimes need descaling more frequently due to mineral deposits. These are all fixable problems when addressed by experienced technicians.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair services?

Yes, Murray Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency water heater repair throughout Fruitridge Pocket and the greater Sacramento area. Water heater failures don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. Emergency service is available for situations like complete hot water loss, water heater leaks, or gas-related safety concerns. We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within a few hours, even on weekends and holidays.

How much does water heater repair typically cost?

Water heater repair costs vary depending on the specific problem and parts needed. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element might cost $150-300, while more complex repairs can range from $300-600. Murray Plumbing provides upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost. Many customers have noted that their final bill was actually lower than the initial estimate, which reflects our commitment to fair pricing.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your water heater is less than 8-10 years old and the repair cost is under half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. For older units with multiple problems or major component failures, replacement might be more cost-effective. Our technician will assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement is the better investment. We’ll consider factors like the age of your unit, energy efficiency, and likely future repair needs.

What brands of water heaters do you service?

Murray Plumbing services all major water heater brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, Whirlpool, and GE. We also work on tankless units from Rinnai, Navien, and Bosch. Whether you have a traditional tank water heater, tankless system, or hybrid unit, we have the experience and parts inventory to handle the repair. We stay current with different manufacturers’ specifications and warranty requirements.
