Hear from Our Customers
You’re not calling about a water heater. You’re calling because someone needs a hot shower before work, dishes are piling up, or you just discovered a puddle spreading across your garage floor.
When your water heater works right, you don’t think about it. When it doesn’t, everything stops. We get your hot water running again so you can get back to your actual day—not spend it researching tank sizes or wondering if that noise is normal.
Most water heater problems in Brevard County come down to three things: sediment buildup from our hard water, aging components that finally gave out, or a unit that’s been working overtime for 10-plus years. The fix might be a simple repair, a component replacement, or a full install. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed after we look at it—not before.
We’ve been serving Brevard County homeowners for over 15 years. We’re licensed, local, and we show up when we say we will.
You’ll work directly with our team—no subcontractors, no call centers, no runaround. We handle gas and electric water heaters, traditional tanks, and tankless systems. If it heats water in West Melbourne, we’ve worked on it.
Most of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals, which tells you something. We’re not the cheapest option in town, but we’re the one that shows up on time, explains what’s actually wrong, and doesn’t sell you things you don’t need.
You call or message us with the problem. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening—no hot water, leaking, strange noises, whatever it is.
We schedule a time that works for you, usually same-day if it’s urgent. Our technician shows up, looks at your system, and figures out what’s wrong. Then we walk you through your options with honest pricing before any work starts.
If it’s a repair, we fix it and test everything before we leave. If you need a replacement, we help you choose the right size and type for your home and water usage, then handle the full installation. Gas lines, electrical connections, permits, hauling out the old unit—we take care of it.
After the install, we make sure you’ve got hot water flowing and answer any questions about your new system. You’ll know how to maintain it and what to watch for down the road.

We handle everything related to water heaters: repairs, replacements, installations, and emergency service. That includes diagnosing problems, replacing failing components like heating elements or thermostats, flushing tanks to clear sediment, and full system replacements when repair doesn’t make sense anymore.
In West Melbourne and across Brevard County, hard water is a real issue. Mineral buildup cuts the life of your water heater short if you’re not flushing it regularly. We see it constantly—units that should last 12 years failing at 7 or 8 because of sediment sitting at the bottom of the tank. We’ll tell you if yours is salvageable or if you’re throwing money at a losing battle.
If you’re upgrading, we’ll talk through tank vs. tankless based on your household size and hot water needs. Tankless costs more upfront but lasts longer and saves on energy bills. Traditional tanks are less expensive and simpler to install. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and we’re not going to push you toward the bigger sale if it doesn’t fit your situation.
Age is the biggest factor. Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is in that range and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair.
Look for these signs: inconsistent water temperature, rusty or discolored water, loud banging or popping noises, visible leaks around the base, or not enough hot water for your household. Any of these mean something’s wrong.
If your unit is newer and the issue is a single component—like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or pressure relief valve—repair is usually the right call. But if you’re dealing with a corroded tank or multiple failing parts on an older system, you’re better off replacing it. We’ll give you an honest assessment when we look at it, including what the repair would cost versus what a new unit would run you.
It depends on how many people live in your home and how much hot water you use at once. A general rule: 30-40 gallons for 1-2 people, 40-50 gallons for 2-3 people, and 50-80 gallons for 4 or more.
But that’s just a starting point. If you run the dishwasher and washing machine while someone’s in the shower, you’ll need more capacity. If you have teenagers who take long showers, same thing.
Tankless water heaters work differently—they heat water on demand, so you don’t run out. Sizing a tankless system is based on flow rate (how many gallons per minute you need) and temperature rise (how much we need to heat the incoming water). In Florida, our groundwater is warmer than northern states, so tankless systems don’t have to work as hard here. We’ll calculate the right size based on your fixtures and usage patterns, not just guess based on square footage.
A standard tank water heater replacement usually takes 2 to 4 hours. That includes disconnecting and removing your old unit, installing the new one, hooking up water lines and gas or electric connections, and testing everything.
Tankless installations take longer—typically 4 to 8 hours—because they often require upgrades to gas lines or electrical systems to handle the higher demand. If we’re converting from tank to tankless, there’s more involved.
If your installation needs a permit (most do in Brevard County), we handle that. It might add a day or two to the timeline depending on inspection schedules, but we’ll coordinate everything. You won’t have to deal with the county or figure out code requirements—that’s on us. Most of our customers have hot water back the same day we start work, unless there’s something unusual about the setup or we’re waiting on a specific unit to arrive.
Yes. We offer same-day service for water heater emergencies, and we’re available 24/7 when you’ve got a crisis situation like a major leak or complete failure.
A true emergency is when you have no hot water and need it fixed immediately, or when your water heater is actively leaking and causing damage. We prioritize those calls because we know you can’t just wait a few days.
If your water heater is acting up but still somewhat functional—like not getting as hot as it used to or making weird noises—that’s not an emergency, but we’ll still get to you quickly, usually within 24 hours. We’re not going to charge you emergency rates if it’s not actually an emergency. When you call, we’ll ask what’s happening and give you an honest answer about timing and pricing.
There are a few common reasons. First, your water heater might be too small for your household’s needs. If you’ve added people to your home or your usage has increased, your old unit might not keep up anymore.
Sediment buildup is another big one, especially in West Melbourne where hard water is common. Sediment settles at the bottom of the tank and takes up space where hot water should be. It also insulates the water from the heating element, making your system work harder and less efficiently. Flushing the tank usually fixes this if it’s caught early enough.
Failing heating elements (on electric models) or a malfunctioning thermostat can also cause this. If one of your two heating elements burns out, you’ll have less hot water available. The thermostat might be set too low, or it could be faulty and not triggering the heating elements when it should. These are straightforward fixes if the unit is otherwise in good shape. We’ll diagnose exactly what’s causing the problem and let you know if it’s worth repairing or if you’re better off upgrading.
Both have pros and cons. Tankless water heaters give you endless hot water, last longer (up to 20 years), take up way less space, and cost less to run. But they’re more expensive upfront—usually $2,500 to $4,500 installed, compared to $1,200 to $2,500 for a tank.
Traditional tank water heaters are simpler, cheaper to install, and easier to repair. They work fine for most households. The downside is they run out of hot water if you use too much at once, and they’re heating water 24/7 even when you’re not using it.
If you have a larger family, use a lot of hot water, or want lower energy bills long-term, tankless makes sense. If you’re on a tighter budget or your hot water needs are pretty average, a high-efficiency tank will do the job. There’s no wrong answer—it’s about what fits your situation. We install both, and we’re not going to steer you toward the more expensive option unless it actually makes sense for your home and usage.
