Our Water Heater Repair Process
Diagnosis & Assessment
We inspect the unit, check pilot lights, thermostats, heating elements, anode rods, and connections to identify the exact issue.
Repair or Replacement Recommendation
If the unit is repairable and worth fixing, we repair it on the spot. If it's 10+ years old or the repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement, we'll recommend upgrading.

New installations include proper venting, code-compliant connections, expansion tank where required, and thorough testing before we leave.

Water Heater Repair Conditions in Charlotte

Water Heater Repair FAQ — Charlotte, NC
How much does water heater repair cost in Charlotte?
Minor repairs like thermostat or element replacement in Charlotte typically cost $150-$400. Major repairs or tankless unit service runs $300-$700. New water heater installation (including removal of old unit) ranges from $1,200-$3,500 depending on type and capacity.
Should I repair or replace my water heater in Charlotte?
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair is straightforward, repair usually makes sense. Over 10 years old with a significant issue? Replacement is typically the better investment. We'll give you an honest assessment — we don't push replacements when a repair will do.
