Electric Water Heaters
Electric Water Heater Service in Rochester, NY
Electric water heaters are simple, quiet, and easy to maintain — and when they quit, it's usually one failed part. We find it and fix it.
The details, in plain language
Electric water heaters are the simplest hot water systems in a home: two heating elements, two thermostats, and a tank. When one element burns out, the telltale sign is hot water that runs out in half the time it used to — the tank is working on one element instead of two. These are among the most repair-friendly systems we service, and the parts are inexpensive.
For homes without gas service, a properly sized electric tank is an excellent choice, and high-efficiency heat-pump water heaters can cut water-heating costs substantially for the right basement setup. We install, repair, and maintain all of them, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair beats a replacement.
