What we do
Complete water heater care
From a failing thermocouple to a full tankless conversion — if it heats your water, we handle it.
Replacement
When repair stops making sense, we size the right replacement for your household — tank or tankless, gas or electric — install it to current code with permits, and haul the old unit away.

Tank vs. tankless
The honest comparison
Tank water heaters
Proven, affordable, and straightforward to replace. A quality 50-gallon gas tank serves most families well for 8–12 years. Best when your usage is predictable and your budget wants the sensible choice.
Tankless water heaters
Endless hot water, wall-mounted space savings, and higher efficiency — at a higher upfront cost, sometimes with gas line or venting upgrades. Best for larger households, simultaneous demand, or tight spaces.

Cold shower this morning? Not tomorrow.
Call now — most water heater calls get hot water back the same day.

FAQ
Water heater questions, answered
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
Age is the biggest clue — most tank units last 8–12 years. Rusty water, rumbling or popping noises, water pooling at the base, or running out of hot water faster than usual all signal a failing unit. We'll give you an honest assessment: if a repair buys real life, we'll say so; if replacement is smarter, we'll size the right unit for your household.
Tank or tankless — which is right for my home?
Tankless delivers endless hot water and saves space but costs more upfront and may need gas line or venting upgrades. High-efficiency tanks are reliable and affordable. We look at your household size, simultaneous hot-water use, and existing hookups, then recommend what fits — not just the most expensive option. See our water heater guide for the full comparison.
How long does a water heater replacement take?
Most standard tank replacements take 2–4 hours, including hauling away the old unit, setting the new one, and bringing everything up to current code. Tankless installs take longer, especially if gas or venting upgrades are needed. Either way, you'll have hot water the same day.
Do you flush and maintain water heaters?
Yes — annual flushing clears the sediment that kills efficiency and shortens tank life, especially with Central Texas hard water. We also check the anode rod (the sacrificial part that prevents tank corrosion), test the T&P relief valve, and verify the thermostat. Maintenance is the cheapest hot water insurance there is.
My water heater is leaking. What should I do?
Shut off the water supply to the heater (the valve on the cold inlet line) and turn the unit off — gas control to pilot/off, or the breaker for electric. A leaking tank can't be patched; it needs replacement. Call us and we'll prioritize it — no hot water is disruptive, but an actively leaking tank is urgent.
