Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Philadelphia, PA
Gas, electric and tankless. Repaired when a repair makes sense, replaced properly when it does not.
No hot water is not a small problem
Cold showers, a tank that runs out halfway through the dishes, a puddle by the base. We work on electric, gas and tankless water heaters in homes and small commercial buildings across Philadelphia.
Not every heater needs replacing. A thermostat, an element or a flush can buy years. When it is time for a new one, we tell you straight and install it right, with proper permits where they are required.

Philadelphia basements, Philadelphia heaters
In most rowhomes and twins the water heater sits in the basement near where the water line comes in, often down a narrow set of stairs. Getting an old tank out and a new one in safely is part of the job, and so is checking the venting on gas units so exhaust goes where it should.
If your heater is leaking right now, close the cold water valve on top of the tank, turn off the gas or the breaker, and call us.

Water Heaters questions
Tank or tankless?
It depends on how much hot water the house uses at once, the space you have, and what is already there for gas and venting. We lay out the trade-offs and let you decide.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank itself is leaking, it needs replacing. A bad thermostat, element or burner part can often be repaired. We give you an honest read either way.
Do you install water heaters for businesses?
Yes. Tank and tankless changeouts sized for small commercial loads, with a venting check on every replacement.
