Frequently Asked Questions

Answers About Our Water Heater Services

Do you offer emergency water heater service?

Yes. We provide fast, often same-day emergency water heater repair and replacement throughout the St. Louis area for no-hot-water, leaking tank, and pilot/ignition issues.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your tank water heater is more than 10–12 years old, leaking from the tank itself, or needs repeated repairs, replacement is usually the better long-term value. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on the unit's age, condition, and repair cost.

What size traditional water heater do I need?

It depends on the size of your household and your hot water demand. We typically install 40, 50, or 75-gallon tanks for residential use and will help you choose the right capacity and fuel type (gas or electric) for your home.

What are the benefits of a tankless water heater?

Tankless water heaters provide endless on-demand hot water, take up far less space, are more energy efficient, and typically last longer than traditional tank units - often 20+ years with proper maintenance.

Can you convert my traditional water heater to tankless?

Yes. We handle full conversions from tank to tankless, including any gas line, venting, and electrical upgrades required to install the new unit safely and to code.

Do you service both gas and electric water heaters?

Yes. We install, repair, and replace both gas and electric tank water heaters, as well as gas and electric tankless models from all major brands.

How often should a water heater be flushed or maintained?

We recommend flushing traditional tank water heaters once a year to remove sediment, and descaling tankless units annually (especially in areas with hard water) to keep them running efficiently and extend their lifespan.

How long does a water heater installation take?

Most traditional tank water heater replacements are completed in a few hours. Tankless installations and conversions typically take longer due to venting, gas, and electrical work, but most are completed within a single day.
