Water Heater Problems We Can Help With

Contact Five Star Plumbing if you are experiencing:

• No hot water
• Water that does not stay hot
• A leaking water heater
• Rusty or discolored hot water
• Unusual popping, rumbling or banging sounds
• Low hot-water pressure
• A pilot light that will not stay lit
• Rising energy bills
• A water heater that is more than 10 years old

Addressing these warning signs early may help prevent water damage or an unexpected loss of hot water.

Water Heater Repair

Not every water-heater problem requires a complete replacement. Our team will evaluate the unit, locate the source of the problem and explain whether a repair is a practical option.

We service common water-heater problems involving heating elements, thermostats, burners, pilot assemblies, valves, leaks and other components.

Water Heater Replacement and Installation

When replacement is the better choice, Five Star Plumbing will help you select a water heater that fits your household, property and hot-water needs.

We provide professional installation and replacement for:

• Traditional tank water heaters
• Tankless water heaters
• Gas water heaters
• Electric water heaters
• Residential and commercial systems

We will remove the old unit, install the new water heater properly and make sure the system is operating safely before the job is complete.

Repair or Replace?

A repair may be appropriate when the water heater is relatively new and the problem involves a replaceable component.

Replacement may be the better investment when:

• The tank is leaking
• The unit requires frequent repairs
• Hot-water capacity no longer meets your needs
• The water heater is approaching the end of its expected life
• Repair costs are becoming excessive
• You want a more efficient system

We will give you straightforward information so you can make a confident decision without unnecessary pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair and replace water heaters?

Yes. We inspect and repair existing water heaters and install replacements when repair is not the most practical option.

Do you work on tankless water heaters?

Yes. Contact us to discuss tankless water-heater repair, maintenance or installation.

Can you help me choose the right size?

Yes. We can recommend an appropriate system based on your household size, hot-water usage, available space and existing utilities.

How do I know if my water heater is leaking?

Water around the bottom of the tank, moisture near plumbing connections or visible corrosion can indicate a leak. A leaking tank should be inspected promptly.

Should I repair or replace an older water heater?

That depends on its age, condition and the cost of the needed repair. We will inspect the unit and explain both options whenever possible.
