Emergency Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Hammond

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. Factors that affect lifespan include water quality, maintenance frequency, and installation quality. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater.

Common signs include: age over 10 years, rusty water, strange noises (popping or rumbling), water leaking around the base of the tank, inconsistent water temperature, or frequent repairs. If you're experiencing multiple issues, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs.

We pride ourselves on fast response times for Hammond residents. In most cases, we can have a technician at your home within 30 minutes to 2 hours for emergency situations. We maintain a 24/7 emergency service line and always have technicians on call ready to respond to water heater emergencies.

This depends on several factors: age of the unit, extent of damage, repair costs, and energy efficiency. Generally, if your water heater is over 8 years old and the repair would cost more than 50% of a new unit, replacement is usually the better option. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment and help you make the best decision for your situation.

The best water heater depends on your specific needs, including household size, hot water usage, available space, and budget. Traditional tank water heaters are more affordable upfront, while tankless models offer energy savings and unlimited hot water. Heat pump water heaters are highly efficient but require specific installation conditions. Our experts can assess your needs and recommend the best option for your Hammond home.
