Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about water heater repair and replacement in Dover.

How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?

If your water heater is less than 10 years old and the issue is a specific component like a heating element or thermostat, repair is often the most cost-effective option. However, if your unit is older than 10 years, leaking from the tank itself, or frequently requiring repairs, replacement is usually more economical in the long run. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment and help you make the best decision for your situation.

How quickly can you respond to a water heater emergency in Dover?

We guarantee arrival within 60 minutes for emergency calls in Dover and surrounding areas. Our technicians are strategically positioned throughout the region to ensure rapid response times. We understand that being without hot water is a significant inconvenience, which is why we prioritize emergency calls and maintain 24/7 availability.

What types of water heaters do you service and install?

We service and install all types of water heaters, including traditional tank models, tankless (on-demand) systems, heat pump water heaters, and solar water heating systems. Our technicians are factory-trained on all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Rinnai, Navien, and more. Whether you need repair or replacement, we can help with any water heater type or brand.

How much does it cost to replace a water heater in Dover?

The cost to replace a water heater in Dover typically ranges from $900 to $1,800 for conventional tank models and $2,000 to $4,500 for tankless systems. Factors that affect the price include the type and size of the unit, installation complexity, and whether any upgrades to gas lines or electrical systems are needed. We provide detailed, upfront quotes before beginning any work so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you offer warranties on water heater repairs and installations?

Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. All repairs come with a 90-day labor warranty, and new installations include manufacturer warranties (typically 6-12 years depending on the model) plus our own 1-year labor warranty. We also offer extended warranty options for additional peace of mind. Our goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction with any service we provide.

How can I maintain my water heater to prevent emergencies?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing water heater emergencies. We recommend annual maintenance that includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, checking the anode rod, testing the pressure relief valve, and inspecting electrical components or gas connections. This preventative care can extend your water heater's lifespan by years and maintain its efficiency. We offer maintenance plans that include these services at a discounted rate.
