Water Heater Repair — Central Arkansas

What we fix

• No hot water — gas pilot, ignition module, thermocouple, electric heating element, thermostat. We carry the common parts.
• Not enough hot water — dip tube failure, sediment buildup, thermostat set too low, undersized tank for the household.
• Tank leaking — depends WHERE. A leak at a fitting is repairable. A tank corroded through is a replacement call. We tell you which.
• Pilot won’t stay lit — thermocouple, gas valve, draft issue. Usually a parts call, not a replacement.
• Banging / popping noises — sediment buildup. A flush sometimes fixes it. Sometimes the tank is too far gone.
• Tankless errors / no hot water — flow sensor, vent issue, scale buildup, ignition. We service all major brands.

Repair or replace — the honest call

Not every water heater problem is a replacement. We diagnose first and tell you the truth. If the tank is under 8 years old and the failure is a part, we repair. If the tank is over 12 years old and the failure is structural, replacement usually makes more sense than throwing money at it. Anywhere in between we walk you through the math: repair cost vs remaining life vs new unit cost.

We do not sell upgrades you don’t need. If your old 40-gal tank was fine for your family, we replace with a 40-gal tank. If you want to talk tankless, we lay out the actual real-world payback period — not a brochure number.
