No hot water, inconsistent temperatures, leaks, unusual noises, or another problem?
Water Heater RepairIf your existing system has failed or replacement makes more sense, we'll help you evaluate the available options.
Water Heater ReplacementNot sure about tank vs. tankless or gas vs. electric? Learn how the different systems work and what may make sense for your household.
Explore Your OptionsThe system isn't producing heated water.
Hot water runs out sooner than expected.
Water temperature changes unexpectedly or isn't consistent.
Popping, rumbling, or other new sounds deserve attention.
Water near a water heater can come from different sources and should be investigated.
Changes in hot-water appearance can indicate a condition that deserves evaluation.
Not every water heater problem means you need a new water heater.
Explore Water Heater RepairBoth technologies can provide reliable hot water. They simply do it differently.
A tank-style water heater heats and stores a set volume of hot water so it's ready when your household needs it.
Tankless systems heat water as it's needed rather than maintaining a large storage tank.
The right system isn't determined by which technology is newer. It's determined by your home and how your household uses hot water.
Tank and tankless water heaters are available in different energy configurations. Which option makes sense depends on your home's existing utilities, equipment requirements, hot-water demand, installation conditions, and operating considerations.
Gas systems use a burner to heat water and typically require an appropriate gas supply and venting configuration.
Gas options are available for both traditional tank and tankless systems.
Electric systems use electrical energy to heat water and do not require combustion venting.
Electric options are available in tank and tankless configurations, although electrical requirements can vary significantly depending on the equipment.
If you're replacing an existing system, we'll help you understand whether staying with the same energy source—or considering another option—makes sense for your home.
Don't automatically assume the size or type of water heater already in your home is still the best choice.
Household needs change, and the right water heater should be selected around how your family actually uses hot water.
The goal isn't to install the biggest water heater. It's to install the right water heater.
For tank systems, storage capacity and recovery matter.
For tankless systems, flow rate and temperature rise become particularly important.
Brad's Plumbing offers custom-built water heater drip pans for appropriate installations.
Our water heater installations have long incorporated heavier-gauge custom pans where appropriate to provide an additional layer of protection around the water heater.
A drain pan is a detail many homeowners never think about—until water ends up where it shouldn't be.
Proper water heater installation isn't just about connecting a new unit. It's about thinking through the entire installation.
Age matters, but age alone shouldn't make the decision. Condition, failure type, repair history, cost, and household needs matter too.
Brad's Plumbing employees do not receive upsell commissions.
Our job is to determine what's happening with your water heater, explain what we find, and help you understand your options.
Sometimes repair is the sensible choice. Sometimes replacement makes better financial sense.
And if you're choosing a new system, we'll help you evaluate the options rather than automatically selling you the biggest or most expensive water heater.
Diagnose the problem. Explain your options. Do the work right.
