FAQs
Can you really come today?
Yes—priority slots for emergencies and “no hot water” calls.
Repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank leaks or it’s 10–12+ years old, replacement is usually smarter. Control/ignition issues on newer units often make sense to repair.
Tankless or tank?
Tankless = endless hot water and efficiency; tank = lower upfront cost. We service and install both.
Do you pull permits?
Yes—for gas lines, repipes, and remodels. All work is inspected per code.
