Water Heater Services in Old Brooklyn

Repairs

Thermostats, heating elements, gas control valves, thermocouples, igniters, and relief and drain valves. If a newer unit has one failed part, we replace it and get you running again.

Same-Day Replacement

Worn-out or leaking tanks replaced with a properly sized gas or electric unit, usually in two to three hours. We take the old tank with us.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless units heat water on demand and can last 20 years or more. Older Old Brooklyn homes often need gas line or venting upgrades for tankless, so your price includes everything before you decide.

Code Updates

Every new water heater gets a proper relief valve and discharge line, an expansion tank where needed, correct venting, and a safe gas or electrical connection. In older basements, these are often overdue.

Two-Family Homes

Many Old Brooklyn doubles have a separate water heater for each unit. We replace them quickly, coordinate with tenants, and send written documentation to owners. If both units’ heaters are the same age, we can help you plan replacing the second one before it fails too.

Before You Call: Quick Checks

Some hot water problems have simple causes. These checks are safe for most homeowners:

  • Electric water heater: Check your electrical panel for a tripped breaker. If it trips again after you reset it, stop and call us.
  • Gas water heater: Look through the viewing window to see if the pilot light or burner is lit. Many newer units show a status light; follow the instructions on the label.
  • Lukewarm water only: Check that the temperature dial hasn’t been turned down.
  • Water around the tank: Shut off the cold water valve at the top of the tank and call us. A leaking tank won’t fix itself.

If you smell gas, don’t try to relight anything. Leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.

What a Replacement Visit Looks Like

  1. Diagnosis: We confirm the problem and check the venting, gas or electrical connection, and shut-off valves.
  2. Options and price: You’ll see your options, from a repair if it makes sense to a new gas, electric, or tankless unit, with a flat-rate price for each.
  3. Removal: We drain and remove the old tank.
  4. Installation: We install the new unit, update any parts that need it, and bring everything up to code.
  5. Testing: We fill the tank, check for leaks, confirm proper venting, and make sure hot water reaches your taps.

Signs It's Time for Service

  • No hot water, or it runs out fast
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • A rotten-egg smell from hot water
  • Popping, rumbling, or banging from the tank
  • Water, rust, or corrosion around the base
  • The tank is 8 to 12 years old or older

Choosing Gas, Electric, or Tankless

  • Gas tank: The most common choice in Old Brooklyn homes with gas service. Heats quickly and usually costs less to run.
  • Electric tank: A good option for homes or units without gas, or for a simple like-for-like swap.
  • Tankless: Higher upfront cost, but continuous hot water and a much longer lifespan. Best for owners planning to stay long-term.

For tank sizing, a 40-gallon unit usually works for one to three people, and a 50-gallon unit is better for four or more.

Thanks so much for your wonderful service!

This place is great – In and out quickly, and the technicians, Dale and Chase, were respectful, exceptionally kind and even really funny too. They created a safe and welcoming environment and explained everything very simply, in a way that was easy to understand. I would definitely use this company again, as this was a great experience. They even squeezed us in for a same day appointment, which was great. You guys are the best – Thanks so much for your wonderful service!
