Serving homes and businesses across the DMV, Carranza Plumbing can send a technician to your home 24 hours a day to diagnose any problem, provide maintenance, and ensure your comfort. We can install newer, energy-efficient water heaters that are more compact and easier to maintain. Our team can professionally install a new water heater to ensure it is properly connected and works flawlessly. A thorough assessment of your home and hot water needs helps us determine the best model to install. Having to replace your water heater can be a surprise and financially straining decision, but we’ll assist you every step of the way, from choosing the best model to offering free estimates, competitive pricing (with a price match guarantee), and financing. Installing a new water heater has many benefits, so once we complete the job, you’ll likely benefit from:

Increased Efficiency: Newer hot water heaters consume less energy and heat water more efficiently. Energy Factor ratings, which measure the amount of hot water produced per unit of fuel, are improved as well.

  • Reduced Space: We can install a more compact electric water heater, while tankless water heaters save the most space; they are small enough to mount on a wall and can be tucked away in a closet. This leaves room for additional storage in your home.

  • Better Hot Water Replenishment: Old water heaters lose efficiency and may leave you with a cold shower, not to mention reduced water quality. We can eliminate the need for tanks, so your hot water is continuously refreshed and provided when needed.

WATER HEATER INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

WATER heater leak repair

Even if you have a small leak in your water heater, it can cause a tremendous amount of damage. It must be addressed quickly. In many cases, leaks can be repaired without replacing your water heater. The first objective is to find where the leak is coming from. Cleaning up the spillage is important in avoiding damage and mold, but the problem won’t go away if it’s not addressed at the source. If the water heater is leaking, turn off the water, shut off its power or gas source, and check the unit. Common sources of leaks include the pipe inlet/outlet, pressure relief valve, drain valve, or a crack in the bottom of the tank. If the inbound water pressure is too high, this can cause a problem as well. A professional technician can perform any repair. If any components and connections need to be tightened, we can handle it. Our technicians can perform a thorough inspection and drain the water heater tank to determine where the problem is. They can perform repairs when possible and recommend solutions such as replacing your old water heater with a newer, more reliable model.

water heater maintenance

Maintenance can boost the performance, efficiency, and longevity of water heaters. One of the most important routine tasks is to flush a water heater of sediment and debris that can build up in the tank and water lines. Eventually these can clog up the appliance and cause serious damage.
