Gas Smell – If you smell gas anywhere near the water heater, turn off the gas supply and call for service right away.
No Hot Water – Not getting any hot water probably means your pilot light is out. If the pilot light is on and the unit still isn’t working, it’s a sign of a more serious issue. Call our heating contractors right away for an inspection. The sooner we identify the issue, the less money you’ll typically have to pay to fix damaged components.
Low Volume of Hot Water – If the hot water is running out too quickly, there may be a problem with the water heater’s thermostat, or the unit may simply be too small for your space. Thermostats can be fixed quickly with minimal fees. Upgrading units is more expensive, but it’s worth the money. Tankless hot water heaters are a great alternative because they actively manage the water level and won’t run out.
Water Temperature is Wrong – If the water temperature is too hot or cold, the thermostat probably needs to be adjusted. Switching the dial to the appropriate degree typically solves the problem. If nothing changes, the heating element or thermostat may be broken. The heating element is a metal coil that extends into the heater. Electricity runs through it to increase the temperature of the water. Both the thermostat and heating element are affordable parts. Sediment may also have accumulated in your hot water tank. If that occurs, our plumbing contractors can flush the tank, clean it, and refill it for you.
Water is Brown – When you see brown water, it means that the tank is rusted and corroding on the inside. This is likely due to a damaged anode rod. The water heater anode rod increases the life span of the unit by attracting water contaminants. An anode rod replacement could be needed if the water heater is making popping noises when heating up, there is a gel-like substance coating the faucet tips, or it’s been more than 5 years. This solves the water smelling like rotten egg problem.
Tank Leaks – If the hot water heater tank is leaking, there are several potential causes, such as excessive pressure build-up, corrosion, a small puncture, or a broken drain valve. Regardless, the faster you identify and fix the issue, the less money it will cost. Our heating professionals can help you avoid a flood in the basement and rust in the water.

Tankless Hot Water Heaters
The best option for NYC homeowners and property owners is installing a tankless hot water heater. These units provide water on demand and use powerful heating coils to run at high efficiency. Our water heater installation includes delivery of the new unit, disconnection and removal of the old unit, water heater setup, connecting the unit to the venting, electrical, gas, and water supply lines, and post-installation inspection and usage training.

Two upgrades our plumbers can do for you are putting in a self-cleaning unit and installing automatic shut-off valves.
Self-cleaning water heaters automatically remove sediment on their own, which extends the life of the unit. They also heat the water exponentially faster. The automatic shut-off valve is a great addition because it can stop the gas from flowing to the heater if it notices any significant changes in flow volume. This is ideal for preventing a fire and saving money on your energy bill. |
Commercial Water Heater Installation
Our plumbers have access to the full spectrum of commercial water heaters for any size building. With a massive selection of tank components and supported brands, we provide unmatched heating solutions. Commercial hot water heaters can run on gas, electric, heat pump, tankless, oil, or solar. With every heating unit type and brand under the sun, we've got you covered whether you're looking to heat a home or you need industrial heating.

Gas water heaters run on natural gas and propane, offering up to 98% thermal efficiency. These units can provide hot water for anything from a small duplex to a 300-room hotel.
Electric water heaters are ideal for commercial or industrial applications requiring recovery heaters or heated dish washing. Tank sizes range from 80 gallons to 2,500 gallons and are available with glass, cement, or epoxy linings. Incoloy sheathing offers superior protection against scaling and oxidation. Heat pump water heater installs are typically done for fast food restaurants, schools, and retail buildings. The all-electric design uses less electricity by transferring warm air from outside the unit into the tank. We offer both fully integrated heat pumps and split system heat pumps depending on your needs. Both have low greenhouse gas emissions and tremendous heating capacity. |

Installation of tankless hot water heaters is available for condensing and non-condensing units with rack systems, wall mounts, free-standing, or back-to-back. Sealed combustion is option and power vented flues are standard. These can be used indoor and outdoor.
Oil-fired hot water heaters are available for commercial use up to 700,000 BTU/hour input. Most models have two handhole cleanouts for easy servicing. The oil burners are UL listed, barometric draft regulators ensure proper flow throughout the vent, and the T&P valve is ASME-rated.
The final option is a solar hot water heater. Solar heating can reduce energy costs by up to 70%. Solar direct booster tanks can be used in an open loop or closed loop system. If installing closed loop, the unit will also need an external heat exchanger. The 4500-watt heating element extends the life of the unit and ensures peak efficiency. Furthermore, the tank’s glass lining and foam insulation minimizes heat loss. All heating options come with quality warranties. We can offer all the most popular brands: A.O. Smith, Kenmore, Rheem, Bradford White, American Standard, Bosch, American Water Heaters, Navien, EcoSmart, Noritz, Reliance, Rinnai, Stiebel Eltron, Takagi, and Whirlpool.
