Honest diagnosis, fast same-day repairs, and an upfront recommendation on whether your unit is worth fixing. Licensed plumbers backed by 566 five-star Google reviews.
Every type of water heater problem, diagnosed honestly — with a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Pilot light, thermocouple, heating element, or gas valve diagnostics — most no-hot-water calls are inexpensive fixes resolved in a single visit.
Determining whether the leak is a fitting (repairable) or the tank itself (replacement only) is the most important diagnosis we make.
Rumbling or popping noises usually mean sediment. A flush extends life by years if caught early — don’t wait.
Thermocouple failures, drafty venting, or gas pressure issues — most pilot light problems are fixed in a single visit.
We service Rinnai, Navien, and Noritz — descaling, flow sensor, and heat exchanger diagnostics on all major brands.
Thermostat, dip tube, mixing valve, or sediment causing reduced effective capacity — we find the root cause, not just the symptom.
Most water heater problems are repairable for under $300, but only if the unit itself is still in good shape. The honest math: if your water heater is under 8 years old and the issue isn’t tank corrosion, repair almost always wins. If it’s over 10 years old and needs a significant repair, you’re better off putting that money toward a new unit. We’ll tell you which side of that line you’re on before we touch anything.
We charge a flat $89 diagnostic fee that gets credited toward any repair we perform. Most common repairs run between $150 and $400 all-in. Thermocouple replacement on a gas tank: about $180. Heating element on an electric tank: $200–$280. Tankless descaling: $179. T&P valve replacement: $150. Pilot assembly rebuild: $250–$350. Major repairs like gas valves or burner assemblies on tank units run $400–$700, and at that price point we’ll usually recommend you consider replacement instead.
If you call us for a repair and we determine replacement is the smarter move, we’ll tell you that on the first visit. We won’t charge a diagnostic fee on top of an install. Our standard tank water heater installation is $999 labor (parts billed separately) — see our water heater installation page for details. If you want to upgrade to tankless during the replacement, see our tankless installation page.
Colorado Springs sits at 6,035 feet. Gas water heaters in our area lose roughly 4% combustion efficiency per 1,000 feet of elevation, which means a unit that worked fine at sea level may struggle here if it wasn’t properly derated. We see this all the time on units installed by national chains or hurried handymen. If your unit is underperforming and was installed without altitude derating, the fix is usually a gas pressure adjustment and orifice change — relatively inexpensive.
Call before noon and we can typically be there the same afternoon. No hot water is an emergency and we treat it that way.
