Handling Repairs, Replacements, and Installations for Every Type of Water Heater
Carini Home Services delivers full-service solutions for both traditional and tankless water heaters. Whether you’re facing a sudden breakdown or planning a system upgrade, our licensed plumbers are ready to help.
If your water heater is leaking, producing inconsistent hot water, or showing signs of wear, quick action can prevent more costly damage. For traditional tank-style systems, issues such as standing water near the base or a dripping pressure relief valve often indicate internal corrosion or failing components. Even with tankless models, small leaks or declining performance can compromise energy efficiency and increase utility costs.
When repairs aren’t enough, our team provides expert installation services for a wide range of water heater options, including electric, gas, tankless, and hybrid models. Every installation begins with a thorough assessment of your household’s needs, ensuring the new unit is appropriately sized, energy-efficient, and installed by local codes. We handle the entire process, from removal of the old unit to final safety checks, leaving your home clean and your hot water running reliably.
To keep your system performing its best, we offer maintenance services that help extend equipment lifespan and prevent future problems.
Common Types of Traditional & Tankless Water Heaters
Our Water Home Services cover both traditional gas and tankless water heater units. As well as heat pump water heaters. Here are a few examples of water heater product options that we repair, replace, and install:
Gas Water Heater (Standard Tank Water Heater)
For many homeowners, gas water heaters are 3 to 4 times less expensive to operate than electric models, making them an excellent investment if you already heat your home using natural gas lines. We can repair your existing gas water heater or replace it with a more eco-friendly option, such as a power vent model. These types of water heaters offer increased energy efficiency and are a great alternative to outdated atmospheric vent models.
Heater (Hybrid Water Heaters)
Because they feature cutting-edge heat pump technology, hybrid water heaters are substantially more energy-efficient than conventional tank-type water heaters. This technology saves both money and energy. In fact, if everyone who purchased and installed a conventional water heater last year had chosen a hybrid model instead, carbon monoxide emissions would have seen a 20 million pound reduction. That’s the equivalent of taking 1.6 million cars off the street! Heat pump water heaters are a great match because they use heat transfer technology. This means they transfer the heat in the air to your water heater.
Tankless Water Heaters
Want something even better? Go tankless! Gas tankless water heaters are even more efficient than conventional tank-type water heaters and have twice the service life without the risk of a catastrophic leak. Our knowledgeable plumbing experts will guide you through every step of the decision-making and installation process, ensuring that your replacement water heater will serve you well for years to come.
Electric Tankless Water Heater
Technology has advanced significantly, and current electric tank-type models are far more efficient than their predecessors. Carini Home Services plumbing experts are ready to install, repair, or replace your electric water heater, both tankless and traditional. If you have solar, installing an electric tankless water heater is a significant investment.
| Warning Sign | What It Means | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Leaking Tank or Components | Slow drips, pooling water, or rusty-colored leaks may signal internal corrosion or a rusted-through tank. | Often not cost-effective to repair, replacement typically offers better long-term value. |
| Aging Equipment | Most water heaters last 10–15 years before efficiency drops or major issues occur. | If your unit is approaching or has already exceeded this range, schedule a replacement to prevent sudden failure. |
| System Inefficiency | Rising water, gas, or electricity bills may indicate outdated or malfunctioning equipment. | Upgrading to newer, energy-efficient models can reduce utility costs and often pays for itself over time. |
| Unusual Sounds | Clunking, hissing, or knocking noises often signal a failing anode rod or heating element. | Schedule a professional evaluation to determine whether repair or replacement is the most sensible option. |
| Selling Your Property | Outdated or failing water heaters can significantly reduce a home's resale value and deter potential buyers. | Installing a new, efficient system, especially a tankless one, can help attract buyers and support a stronger selling price. |
Most Homes Use a Significant Amount of Energy to Run Water Heaters
Research from the Department of Energy indicates the average U.S. home uses 64 gallons of hot water daily, and water heating can be responsible for 14 to 18% of your home’s energy bill. In fact, after heating and air conditioning systems, water heaters are second in energy usage!
