Whether it’s repair or replacement, we’ll restore your hot water with no stress and no guesswork.
Hot water heater repair and installation
You don’t think much about your water heater — until it stops working. And when it does? Everything comes to a screeching halt. Cold showers, dishes that won’t come clean, laundry that stays half-washed — it’s not a small problem.
At Law Plumbing, we know how disruptive hot water issues can be. That’s why we act fast, give you clear answers, and fix it right the first time. Whether your unit is leaking, not heating, or making sounds like it’s hosting a drum solo, we’ll figure it out and walk you through your options.
No hot water: Sounds obvious, but it’s the #1 sign something’s wrong. Could be a heating element, thermostat, or something bigger — we’ll check it.
Inconsistent water temperature: If your water suddenly goes cold mid-shower or fluctuates without warning, that’s a red flag.
Strange noises: Rumbling, banging, or popping sounds usually mean sediment buildup. It’s fixable if caught early.
Water around the base: A puddle near your heater isn’t normal — and could mean a small leak or a major failure.
Rusty water: If the hot water looks rusty or has a metallic taste, your tank may be corroding from the inside out.
Not every heater needs to be replaced. Sometimes it’s a simple fix — a faulty valve, a worn-out thermostat, or a part that can be swapped in under an hour. If a repair makes sense, we’ll do it. But if your unit is older (especially 10+ years), leaking from the tank, or showing signs of serious wear, we may recommend replacing it. We’ll never push something you don’t need — but we’ll also tell you when it’s time to stop putting money into something that’s on its way out.
We handle professional installation of:
Standard tank water heaters: Gas or electric, sized to fit your home and water usage
Tankless water heaters: Energy-efficient and space-saving options for on-demand hot water
Hybrid models and energy-saving systems
Replacements for old or outdated units
Code-compliant upgrades with proper venting and pressure relief
We’ll help you choose the right system, size it properly, and install it to manufacturer standards — so you get long-term performance and full warranty protection.
Safe disconnection and removal of your old unit
Delivery and installation of your new water heater
Pressure valve, expansion tank, and code updates
Clean, sealed connections — gas, electric, or water
Testing, fine-tuning, and haul-away if needed
No one enjoys a cold shower surprise. If your water heater is acting up — or not acting at all — we’ll take care of it.
