Repair, Installation, & Replacement
Get your Hot Water Back.
With over 25 years of experience in plumbing, we’ve replaced and repaired countless water heaters. Whether you are electric or gas powered, we have the expertise to service it. And if you are flooded, we have great partnerships with water damage specialists to help dry up excess water and repair any damage done.
Below we gathered some useful information for you when deciding between tankless and tank style water heaters:
Traditional (Tank) Water Heaters
Just like the image featured to the left, this is the traditional style of water heater that you may have thought of or seen in your garage or closet. They fill up with water and then heat that to the desired temperature via gas or electricity.
Pros: Cheaper parts and installation costs
Cons: Less efficient, higher gas/electric costs
Tankless Water Heaters
Newer technology leads to more efficiency. The tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of storing a supply of hot water, which is kept at the desired temperature.
Pros: More efficient, longer lifespan, investment, lower gas/electric costs
Cons: More expensive unit, higher installation costs, may require an electrician to install

Signs You May Need Water Heater Repair
Your water heater may give you warning signs before it fails completely.
Call a plumber if you’re experiencing:
- Little or no hot water
- Water that isn’t getting hot enough
- Hot water that runs out unusually quickly
- Water leaking around the water heater
- Unusual noises coming from the tank
- Rust-colored or discolored hot water
- A water heater that frequently shuts off
- Increasing water or energy costs
- A water heater that simply isn’t performing like it used to
A small problem can sometimes be repaired before it turns into a much larger one. If you notice something unusual, it’s better to have it checked out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does a water heater last?
The lifespan of a water heater varies depending on the type of system, installation, water quality, usage, and maintenance. If your water heater is getting older and beginning to have repeated problems, it may be time to consider replacement.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the age and condition of the unit and the type of problem you’re experiencing. If the water heater is otherwise in good condition, a repair may make sense. If it’s older, leaking, or experiencing repeated failures, replacement may be the better long-term option.
Does Horton Plumbing repair gas water heaters?
Yes. Horton Plumbing provides service for gas water heaters as well as electric water heaters.
Does Horton Plumbing install tankless water heaters?
Horton Plumbing can discuss tankless water heater installation and whether a tankless system is appropriate for your property.
Why is my water heater leaking?
Leaks can come from different parts of a water heater or its plumbing connections. Because a leaking water heater can cause significant damage, it’s best to have the source evaluated by a qualified plumber.
What should I do if my water heater stops working?
If you suddenly lose hot water, check the basic controls for your system if you are comfortable doing so. If the problem isn’t obvious or the unit is leaking, contact Horton Plumbing to have it evaluated.
