Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if I should repair or replace my water heater?

A: If your heater is over 10 years old, experiencing frequent issues, or less efficient than newer models, replacement often makes long-term sense. We’ll assess your specific unit and usage to guide you.

Q: Are tankless water heaters worth the extra cost?

A: While tankless units have higher upfront costs, they deliver energy savings (up to 30%), endless hot water, and a 20+ year lifespan—often offsetting the initial investment.

Q: What warranty do you offer?

A: We back all installations and repairs with a 1-year parts & labor warranty, plus any manufacturer guarantees on equipment.
