Angelica SamilinMarch 10, 2023 I never thought I'd say this, but getting a new water heater was actually a good experience thanks to Modesto Water Heater Pros! The technician was so friendly and helpful, and he even showed me some tips on how to keep my new water heater in tip-top shape. Plus, the pricing was very reasonable, so I didn't feel like I was breaking the bank. Shauna ConwayApril 27, 2022 These Modesto water heater experts helped me when my old water heater broke down and flooded the basement. They were responsive, professional, and very detailed when discussing the problem and their process/solution. I was lucky and they were able to replace the water heater the same day I contacted them. Shelley ThorntonApril 25, 2022 These guys did a wonderful job on our tankless installation! They were very polite and knowledgeable and I was impressed with their tech's expertise. We were given options to try save on cost and explained everything that is going to do. I felt I was in good hands and got a really great deal for the total cost of the installation. Further, along the work, they answered all my questions and gave me detailed instructions how to maintain our tankless unit so it doesn’t fail prematurely. We really recommend!

It all depends on what type of water heater it is. Electric water heaters usually cost between $400 and $800 to repair, while gas water heaters usually run from $550 to $900. Regular drain and flush maintenance visits may be considerably less if no repairs or part replacements are necessary. If needed, you will also need to account for the labor costs to cover the plumbing technician to install your water heater for you (don’t do this part yourself unless you are a certified and licensed plumber in the state of California).
Common problems with water heaters are leaks, sudden temperature fluctuations, and corrosion. To fix these problems, it is important to identify them. If the problem is a leak, it is important to find out where the leak is coming from. Sometimes leaks can come from pipes or valves that are under the tank. Clean the area using a dish soap solution. If there is corrosion buildup, use sandpaper to scrape it off of the surface of the water heater. If there is a sudden temperature fluctuation, clean the anode rod by scraping it. If you are not sure what to do, call your local plumber.
1) Overly aggressive water quality – this could be a result of a lack of a water softener, an old water softener, or too much soap being used.
2) Insufficient insulation from the outside environment – this is most often caused by poor insulation around the pipes or by not insulating the space where the heater is installed.
3) Damaged valve – this could happen if there’s been an issue with either freezing or overheating.
4) The hot water heater’s thermostat is faulty or broken – this will prevent the unit from reaching the appropriate temperature.
5) Tank is cracked or leaking – a cracked or leaking water heater tank is almost always not repairable and your unit will need to be replaced
In any of the cases mentioned above, your best bet is to contact a professional plumber to see if you can prevent a simply repair from turning into a full water heater replacement.
It is worth noting that installing gas water heaters is a task that should be left to professionals. Water heaters require a lot of knowledge and training to install properly. Professionals know how to deal with the safety hazards and risks associated with the installation of water heaters. They also have experience working at heights. And if something does go wrong, they will be equipped with the right tools and knowledge to correct it quickly.
Electrical safety is an important issue when dealing with any type of water heater installation. Calling on the services of a professional electrician will ensure that this process is done safely and efficiently. An incorrectly installed or maintained electrical connection can cause electrical fires which can produce deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gas; CO poisoning is often fatal. A professional will also know how to hook-up your new unit safely and securely while meeting all of your local code requirements. Most important, the professional will ensure that all of your local electrical and plumbing codes are met, so you don’t void any warranties
