Repairs on tank heaters
A tank that no longer heats may have a failed element, a bad thermostat or a worn gas valve. We test it, name the fault and replace the part if repair makes sense.
Water Heater Repair and Installation in Troy
Lukewarm showers, rusty water and a puddle by the tank all point to the heater. We repair tank and tankless units, replace old ones and install new ones.
The work covers homes in Troy and six other towns.
Water heater work
Replacing a tank
A tank with a hole in it cannot be patched. We empty it, carry it away, set the new heater in place and connect the water, gas or power again.
Going tankless
A tankless heater heats water as it flows and takes up far less room. We size it to your fixtures and check the gas line or electrical service it needs.
Adding or moving a heater
Finishing a basement or remodeling a utility room may mean moving the heater. We reroute the water, venting and gas or power to the new spot.
The Troy permit for a replacement
Troy’s plumbing permit list has its own line for a water heater replacement. Michigan gives permits to licensed plumbing contractors, or to homeowners doing their own plumbing.
Choosing a size
A tank sized for the household gives enough hot water without running far past what you use. The size depends on how many people live in the home and how many fixtures run together.
The water heater size calculator starts from the people in your house. For a tankless unit, a Troy January is the hard case, and that is the weather the tankless flow calculator plans for.
How old is your tank?
Find the rating label on the tank. The serial number printed there encodes when it was built, and our serial number decoder converts it to a year for the major brands.
Hot water trouble can start with a leak, so leak finding and repiping are worth a look, and the home page has the full list.
