Trusted Water Heater Repair in San Diego

If your water heater is leaking, making noise, or not heating like it used to, our licensed team can diagnose the problem and get your hot water back — often the same day. We repair both tank (Bradford White) and tankless (Navien) systems, gas or electric.

Common Water Heater Problems We Fix

  • No hot water or lukewarm water
  • Leaking tank or fittings
  • Strange noises (popping, rumbling, banging)
  • Pilot light won’t stay lit (gas units)
  • Inconsistent or fluctuating water temperature
  • Discolored or rusty water

Should You Repair or Replace?

Most issues on a water heater under 8–10 years old are worth repairing. If your unit is older, has been repaired multiple times, or the cost of repair is close to the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the better value. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way — see our water heater replacement page for details on new installations.
