Professional water heater installation and repair services from Capital Plumbing.

When your water heater stops working, you notice it immediately. Cold showers, dishes piling up, and laundry schedules thrown off all remind you how much you depend on hot water throughout the day. Capital Plumbing handles water heater installations and repairs so you can get back to your routine without the frustration of unreliable performance.

We work with standard tank water heaters in a range of capacities to match household size and usage patterns. Whether your current unit is leaking, failing to heat water consistently, or nearing the end of its lifespan, we assess the situation and explain what needs to happen next. Repairs may involve replacing heating elements, thermostats, or pressure relief valves, while installations include removing the old unit, connecting the new one to existing water and gas or electric lines, and testing for proper operation.

What happens during installation or repair

You can expect a straightforward process when we arrive to install or repair your water heater. We start by inspecting the existing unit and surrounding connections to identify any issues with venting, drainage, or supply lines. If a replacement is needed, we disconnect the old water heater, drain it completely, and remove it from the space before setting up the new unit in the same location.

Once the new water heater is in place, you will notice consistent hot water temperature, faster recovery times after heavy use, and no unusual sounds or leaks around the base. The unit operates quietly and maintains the temperature you set without fluctuation.

We secure all connections, check for leaks, verify proper venting if the unit is gas-powered, and confirm that water pressure remains steady throughout your home. Our work includes cleanup and a walkthrough so you understand how to adjust settings and recognize warning signs of future issues. This service does not cover modifications to gas lines or electrical panels beyond standard hookups, and we recommend scheduling annual maintenance to extend the life of your water heater.

Questions people ask before they call

Most homeowners have similar concerns when their water heater stops performing as expected, and these questions come up regularly during initial consultations with Capital Plumbing.

How long does a water heater installation take?
Most installations take between two and four hours depending on whether we need to adjust any existing connections or upgrade components. You will have hot water by the end of the same day.
What size water heater do I need for my household?
You should base capacity on the number of people in your home and peak usage times. A household of four typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon unit, while larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms may require 60 to 80 gallons.
When should I repair versus replace my water heater?
If your unit is less than eight years old and the issue is a faulty component like a thermostat or heating element, repair usually makes sense. Units older than ten years with recurring problems are better candidates for replacement.
Why is my water heater making noise?
Rumbling or popping sounds often come from sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which causes uneven heating. Flushing the tank or replacing the unit can eliminate the noise and restore normal function.
What happens if my water heater is leaking?
Leaks from the tank itself usually mean the unit needs replacement, as internal corrosion has compromised the shell. Leaks from valves or fittings can often be repaired by tightening connections or replacing the faulty part.
