Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about water heater repair and replacement services in Wilmington.
How quickly can you respond to a water heater emergency?
We understand that water heater emergencies can't wait. In most cases, we can dispatch a technician to your Wilmington home within 60-90 minutes of your call. Our emergency service is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Several factors can help determine whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective. These include the age of your water heater (most last 8-12 years), the frequency of repairs, efficiency concerns, and the extent of damage. Our technicians will provide an honest assessment and explain all your options so you can make an informed decision.
What types of water heaters do you service?
We service all types of water heaters, including traditional tank water heaters, tankless water heaters, heat pump water heaters, and solar water heaters. Our technicians are trained and experienced with all major brands and models.
How long does it take to install a new water heater?
A standard tank water heater replacement typically takes 2-3 hours to complete. Tankless water heater installations may take 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether any modifications to your home's gas or electrical systems are required. We'll provide you with a time estimate before beginning the work.
Do you offer warranties on water heater repairs and installations?
Yes, we stand behind our work. All repairs come with a 90-day labor warranty. For new water heater installations, 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 power to the unit (flip the breaker for electric models or turn the gas valve to the "off" position for gas models). Next, shut off the cold water supply to the water heater. Place towels or buckets to collect the water, and call us immediately at (877) 641-0131 for emergency service. Water heater leaks can cause significant property damage if not addressed promptly.
