FAQs
What warning signs tell me my tank-style water heater needs repair?
Look for rumbling or popping noises (sediment boiling on the bottom), rusty or discolored hot water, water pooling around the base of the tank, a drop in available hot-water volume, rapidly changing water temperatures, or higher-than-normal energy bills. Calhoun’s naturally mineral-rich water can speed up sediment buildup, so these symptoms often appear sooner here than in softer-water areas. Addressing them early prevents major leaks and extends the life of the unit.
Do you work on both gas and electric tank water heaters in Calhoun?
Yes. Our state-licensed technicians repair gas, propane, and electric tank models ranging from 30 to 120 gallons. We stock OEM parts for leading brands such as Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, State, and more, so most fixes—thermocouples, igniters, elements, thermostats, dip tubes, gas control valves—can be completed during the first visit.
How fast can you respond if I suddenly have no hot water?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch within the Calhoun city limits and surrounding Gordon County communities. In most cases a technician arrives within two to three hours of your call, fully equipped to diagnose and start repairs immediately. Same-day service is available for non-emergencies scheduled before noon.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace my older water heater?
A good rule of thumb is to consider replacement when the unit is over eight years old or when the repair estimate exceeds 50 % of the cost of a new heater. However, if the tank is under eight years old and the issue is limited to replaceable parts—heating elements, thermostats, or valves—repair is usually the budget-friendly choice. We provide up-front pricing, efficiency comparisons, and estimated remaining service life so you can make an informed decision.
What does a full-scale tank repair include?
Full-scale service begins with comprehensive diagnostics: checking voltage, gas pressure, thermostat settings, and verifying any error codes. We then completely drain and flush the tank to remove sediment, inspect and, if needed, replace the anode rod, heating elements, thermostats, T&P valve, dip tube, and gaskets. For gas units we test the pilot assembly, burner, and gas control. We also reseal or replace any leaking inlet/outlet fittings, insulate exposed piping, and verify that the expansion tank and shut-off valves are working properly before restoring service.
Are your repairs guaranteed, and do you offer ongoing maintenance?
All labor comes with a written one-year warranty, and most manufacturer parts carry additional coverage of three to six years. We also offer an optional annual water-heater tune-up that includes a flush, anode-rod inspection, safety-valve testing, and a water-quality hardness check—services that can double the lifespan of your heater in Calhoun’s mineral-heavy water environment.
