Sudden shifts between hot and cold water often signal a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element that requires immediate attention to restore consistent performance.

Leaking Tank or Connections
Water leaks around your water heater indicate cracks, loose connections, or internal damage, potentially leading to water damage and reduced system efficiency.

Most water heaters last 8–12 years with proper maintenance. Regular servicing can help extend the lifespan and improve efficiency.
Annual maintenance is recommended to flush the tank, inspect components, and ensure the system operates efficiently. This helps prevent costly repairs and extends your unit's lifespan.
Our maintenance services include:
- Sediment Removal: Flushing the tank to prevent clogs and enhance efficiency.
