Hot Water Back—Fast, Safe, and Up to Code

Not sure whether to repair or replace? We’ll diagnose first, share the numbers, and give you options—so you pick what’s best for budget, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Common Water Heater Problems We Fix
Some issues point to simple repairs; others indicate end-of-life. Either way, we’ll diagnose accurately and explain the best next step:
- No hot water or water runs cold quickly
- Inconsistent temperatures or lukewarm water
- Leaking tank, pan, or fittings; rust stains around base
- Rumbling, popping, or hissing sounds from the tank
- Rusty/discolored water or metallic taste
- Pilot won’t stay lit (gas) or breaker trips (electric)
- Unit 10–12+ years old with rising energy bills
Safety first: if you see active leaking, shut off water to the heater and electricity/gas (if safely accessible), then call us.
Our Water Heater Process
We make the call simple: repair when it’s smart, replace when it’s time. Here’s how we deliver safe, efficient hot water:
Upfront Diagnostics: We check power/fuel, thermostats, heating elements or gas controls, venting, T&P valve, anode, and sediment levels to pinpoint the cause.
Clear Repair Options: When a repair makes sense (elements, thermostats, igniters, valves, minor leaks), we price it upfront and explain timelines and warranties.
Right-Sized Replacement: If replacement is smarter, we size by bedrooms/fixtures/usage and recommend standard tank or tankless options suited to Wichita water quality and your budget.
Code & Safety Upgrades: We correct venting, add or replace expansion tanks/PRV as needed, install drip pans and drain lines, strap/seismic where required, and ensure proper combustion air.
Clean Installation & Haul-Away: We protect floors, make neat connections, label shutoffs, and remove the old unit. You get a clean, professional finish—no mess left behind.
Startup, Settings & Tips: We set safe temperatures, purge air, test for leaks and CO, and share maintenance tips (flushing schedule, anode checks) to extend lifespan.
We prioritize “no hot water” calls and real estate timelines. Expect clear estimates, tidy job sites, and friendly techs who respect your home.
Ask about high-efficiency and tankless options, rebates, and warranty coverage.
Considering a Tankless Upgrade?
We install gas and electric tankless systems, size them correctly, and handle venting, gas line, and recirculation options for fast, reliable hot water.
Tankless Benefits
- Endless hot water (properly sized)
- High efficiency (often 0.90+ UEF)
- Space-saving wall mount
- Longer lifespan than most tanks
- Great with recirculation add-ons
What to Know
- Higher upfront cost vs. standard tank
- Annual maintenance recommended
- Gas line/vent upgrades may be needed
- May require recirculation for instant hot water
Unsure if tankless fits your home? We’ll verify gas/vent capacity, flow rates, and recirculation options, then lay out clear costs vs. savings.
