Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Austin

There are many components to a gas or electric water heater that may require adjustment to restore hot water to your home, and the question that is always at the forefront of our customers’ minds is “Is this something that can be fixed, or do I need to buy a new one?”. Fortunately most water heater problems are easy to diagnose, and our licensed plumbers are trained to determine an answer to that question in no time. We will first identify the cause of your water heater problem, then advise you on whether the best course of action is to repair or replace your gas water heater, electric water heater, or tankless water heater. Sometimes simple plumbing maintenance, such as flushing your water heater, will resolve the issue.

If replacement is needed, the plumber will discuss the pros and cons of different types of water heaters with you. There are several options, with varying degrees of cost and energy efficiency. Installing more energy-efficient appliances, such as a tankless water heater or solar water heater, can help you qualify for federal, state, and local tax credits and rebates.

Get Hot Water Within Seconds with a Recirculation System!

Installing a hot water recirculation system is an ideal way to guarantee hot water on demand in any plumbing fixture in your home. A hot water recirculation system uses a pump to rapidly move water through your plumbing system. Since you have instant access to hot water, the system helps you conserve water, and some systems can even help you save energy.

A hot water recirculation system incorporates a pump, an electronic controller, and a zone valve. Systems may be configured with an on/off button or utilize a thermostat or timer to ensure continuous availability of hot water. If you set up the system through a thermostat or timer, the system will constantly push cool water back to the water heater and hot water to your fixtures, which is less energy efficient. So we recommend using a switch to operate the system, because it is as simple as pressing the button on to activate the pump. These systems save energy when left in the off position, typically overnight.

Consider Tankless Water Heaters

A tankless water heater system is more cost-effective compared to a water heater that uses a tank. Some advantages of using a tankless water heater system include energy efficiency, endless hot water supply, low risk of flooding, and they save space.1st Home & Commercial Services can upgrade your water system to the latest energy-efficient technology. See our tankless water heater installation page for more information.
