Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about water heater repairs and replacements.

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

Signs that your water heater may need repair include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, leaks, rusty water, or reduced hot water capacity. If your unit is over 10-12 years old, repairs are frequent, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement, it's often more economical to replace the unit. Our technicians can provide a professional assessment and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

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

We pride ourselves on fast response times. In most cases, we can have a technician at your Schenectady home within 30-60 minutes of your call. We maintain technicians throughout the area and operate 24/7, including weekends and holidays, to ensure we're always available when you need us most.

What types of water heaters do you service and install?

We service and install all types of water heaters, including traditional tank water heaters (electric, gas, and propane), tankless water heaters, hybrid/heat pump models, and solar water heating systems. Our technicians are factory-trained on all major brands and models to ensure expert service regardless of what type of system you have.

How long does it take to replace a water heater?

A standard water heater replacement typically takes 2-3 hours for a like-for-like replacement. However, if you're switching from a tank to a tankless system, or if modifications to gas lines, electrical, or venting are required, it may take 4-8 hours. We always aim to complete installations as efficiently as possible while ensuring everything is done correctly and safely.

Do you offer warranties on water heater repairs and replacements?

Yes, we stand behind our work. All repairs come with a 90-day labor warranty. For replacements, we offer manufacturer warranties (typically 6-12 years depending on the model) plus our own 1-year labor warranty. Extended warranty options are also available for additional peace of mind.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

If your water heater is leaking, first turn off the water supply to the unit (there should be a valve on the cold water inlet pipe). For electric water heaters, turn off the circuit breaker. For gas units, turn the gas control valve to the "pilot" position. Then call us immediately for emergency service. Place towels or buckets to collect water and minimize damage until we arrive.
