Common repairs include heating element replacement, thermostat issues, gas valve problems, pilot light repairs, and tank leaks. For tankless water heaters, we handle scale buildup, ignition problems, venting issues, and error code diagnostics. We also perform emergency repairs when your water heater fails completely.

Every repair includes a thorough inspection to catch potential problems before they leave you without hot water again. Santa Clara’s hard water can be tough on water heaters, so we make sure your system is operating efficiently and recommend maintenance that extends its lifespan.

How much does water heater repair cost in Santa Clara?

Water heater repair costs in Santa Clara typically range from $200 to $800, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple repairs like replacing a heating element or thermostat usually cost $200-400. More complex issues like gas valve replacement or tankless system repairs can run $400-800. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the work is done. Emergency service calls may include an additional fee, but we’ll explain all costs when you schedule your appointment.

How long does water heater repair take to complete?

Most water heater repairs in Santa Clara are completed within 1-2 hours. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or adjusting a thermostat can be done in under an hour. More involved repairs, such as replacing a gas valve or addressing tankless water heater issues, may take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts on our trucks, which means we can usually complete your repair the same day without waiting for parts to be ordered. If we need a special part, we’ll explain the timeline and get it as quickly as possible.

Do you repair both tankless and traditional water heaters?

Yes, we repair all types of water heaters in Santa Clara – traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas, electric, and hybrid models. Our technicians are trained on all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Rinnai, Navien, and Noritz. Tankless repairs often involve different issues than traditional units, like scale buildup or ignition problems, but we have the specialized tools and experience to handle both types effectively. Whether you have a 10-year-old tank water heater or a new tankless system, we can diagnose and fix the problem.

What warranty do you provide on water heater repairs?

We provide a comprehensive warranty on all water heater repair work performed in Santa Clara. Labor is typically warrantied for 90 days to one year, depending on the type of repair. Parts warranties vary by manufacturer but are usually covered for at least one year. If the same problem occurs within the warranty period, we’ll return to fix it at no additional charge. We stand behind our work because we use quality parts and proper repair techniques. You’ll receive warranty details in writing when your repair is completed.

Can you provide same-day water heater repair service?

Yes, we offer same-day water heater repair service throughout Santa Clara when you call early in the day. We understand that losing hot water disrupts your entire routine, so we prioritize getting your system working again quickly. Our trucks are stocked with the most common water heater parts, which allows us to complete most repairs immediately without ordering parts. We also provide emergency repair service for situations where your water heater has failed completely or is creating a safety hazard. Call us as early as possible for the best chance of same-day service.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

The decision to repair or replace your water heater depends on its age, condition, and the cost of repairs needed. If your water heater is less than 8 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of replacement, repair usually makes sense. However, if you’re facing expensive repairs on a unit that’s 10+ years old, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term. We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement is the better choice for your situation. Our goal is to provide the most practical solution, not sell you something you don’t need.
