Gas tank water heaters
Faster recovery and lower running cost in most Twin Cities homes, which matters when inlet water is cold for half the year.
Electric tank water heaters

Signs You Need This Service
Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your plumbing system is struggling.
Hot water runs out too soon
The tank is undersized for how the household actually uses it, or sediment has stolen its capacity.
Rumbling or popping
Sediment baked onto the bottom of the tank. It costs efficiency first and tank life second.
Rusty or discoloured hot water
The tank is corroding from the inside. This one usually ends in a replacement, not a repair.
Water around the base
A weeping tank does not get better. Plan the replacement before it picks the date for you.
The pilot will not stay lit
A thermocouple or gas control fault. Repairable, and worth diagnosing rather than replacing blind.
It is over ten years old
Ten to fifteen years is typical. Past that you are running on borrowed time in a finished basement.
