Water Heater FAQ's
How much does water heater repair or replacement cost in Virginia?
Every home and water heater is different, so costs vary depending on whether you need a repair, a full replacement, or an upgrade to a tankless model. We start with a $89 service call, which includes a skilled plumber inspecting your system, diagnosing the problem, and walking you through your options. If you choose to move forward with a repair or installation, that fee is applied toward the work. This way you’ll know exactly what’s needed — and what it will cost — before any job begins.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the age and condition of your system. If your water heater is under 8 years old and the problem is minor, a repair often makes sense. But if it’s older, leaking, or breaking down frequently, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. During your service call, we’ll inspect your system and give you clear options so you can make the choice that fits your home and budget.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Yes — Pinnacle Plumbing installs, repairs, and services both traditional tank-style water heaters and modern tankless units. Tankless systems provide endless hot water and can be more energy-efficient, while tank systems remain a reliable and cost-effective option. During your service call, we’ll walk you through both choices so you can decide what works best for your home and budget.
When Your Water Heater Fails, We Don’t.
Few things disrupt daily life like losing hot water. From morning showers to cooking and cleaning, your water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home. When it fails, you need more than a quick fix—you need a trusted solution that ensures safe, efficient, and long-lasting performance.
When to Call About Your Water Heater
-
Inconsistent or no hot water
If your showers run cold too quickly, or you’re not getting hot water at all, it’s usually a sign your heater needs service.
-
Strange noises from the tank
Rumbling or popping sounds often point to sediment buildup, which reduces efficiency and can cause long-term damage.
-
Rust-colored or cloudy water
Discolored water can indicate corrosion inside the tank or your water lines — a warning that replacement may be needed.
-
Leaks near the unit
Even small leaks around your heater can lead to big water damage. This is a clear signal to call right away.
-
System age (8–12 years old)
Most heaters last 8–12 years. If yours is in that range and giving you problems, replacement may be the better investment.
