A malfunctioning water heater can bring your daily routine to a halt.

Our licensed plumbers are trained to quickly diagnose and repair all types of water heaters, ensuring you get back to enjoying reliable hot water — without delays or unnecessary replacements.

Comprehensive Repair for All Water Heater Types

We service every major type and brand of water heater system, including:

Tank water heaters (gas or electric)

Tankless water heaters

Hybrid water heaters

High-efficiency water heating systems

Whether you have an older gas-powered unit or a newer energy-efficient tankless system, we bring decades of hands-on expertise to each repair call. Our team is factory-trained and equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic tools to find and fix the problem fast — often in a single visit.

Common Water Heater Problems We Repair

Water heaters often show subtle signs of wear before failing completely. We recommend calling us as soon as you notice any of the following:

No hot water or inconsistent temperatures

Pilot light won’t stay lit

Strange sounds (rumbling, popping, or banging)

Discolored or rusty water

Foul-smelling water

Water leaking from the tank

Sudden spikes in energy bills

These symptoms may point to sediment buildup, failing heating elements, thermostat malfunctions, or pressure valve issues — all of which our technicians are trained to repair safely and efficiently.

Your Noritz Tankless Water Heater Experts

As one of Houston’s premier Noritz dealers, we specialize in repairing Noritz tankless water heaters. These energy-saving systems require deep product knowledge and specialized training to service properly — and we’re proud to carry factory-certified parts and tools to ensure precision repairs.

Tankless systems, while efficient, may experience:

Ignition failure

Flame loss

Error codes

Scale buildup in the heat exchanger

Our team can diagnose the issue quickly, flush the system, replace sensors, and restore optimal performance — all in accordance with Noritz’s high standards.

Gas vs. Electric Water Heater Repairs

Both gas and electric water heaters require different troubleshooting techniques and tools. We’re fully licensed to work with:

Gas water heaters – including pilot assembly issues, burner cleaning, gas control valves, and exhaust venting.

Electric water heaters – such as failed heating elements, faulty thermostats, or wiring problems.

Discolored or rusty water

Water leaking from the tank

Our deep understanding of both types ensures we get the job done right the first time — safely and up to code.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Water Heater

We strive to repair rather than replace when it makes sense economically and practically. However, some signs indicate it may be time to consider a new unit:

Unit is over 10–12 years old

Multiple repairs within a short period

Tank is leaking

Repair costs approach 50% of replacement value

When that time comes, we’ll help you choose the right replacement unit — including energy-efficient tankless models or upgraded high-efficiency storage tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

If your water heater is under 10 years old and the issue is isolated (such as a faulty thermostat or heating element), repair is typically the better option. However, if the tank is leaking or the unit is older and experiencing multiple issues, replacement may be more cost-effective.

Can you repair all brands of water heaters?

Yes, we repair all major water heater brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, and especially Noritz tankless systems. As a premier Noritz dealer in Houston, we carry specialized parts and have deep expertise in their tankless models.

What is the typical cost of water heater repair?

Costs vary depending on the issue, but simple repairs like thermostat replacement or flushing can be relatively affordable. We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work.

Do you offer emergency water heater repair services?

Yes, we offer emergency repair services throughout The Woodlands, North Houston, and surrounding areas. If your water heater stops working unexpectedly, call us for prompt, same-day service.

How often should I maintain my water heater to avoid repairs?

Annual maintenance is recommended. This includes flushing the tank, inspecting the anode rod, testing safety valves, and checking for signs of wear or corrosion. For tankless systems, descaling is crucial to maintaining performance.
