Trident Plumbing provides professional water heater services throughout Oconee, Anderson and Pickens Counties, including water heater repair, replacement and installation. Whether you have no hot water, a leaking tank, inconsistent water temperature or a water heater that needs replacement, we can diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repair or replacement.
Water Heater Repair
Not every water heater problem requires replacement. We diagnose problems such as failed heating elements, thermostats, gas controls, leaking valves and other components to determine whether the water heater can be repaired safely and economically.
Water Heater Replacement & Installation
When a water heater is leaking, badly corroded, inefficient or no longer economical to repair, Trident Plumbing can replace it with a properly sized system for your home or business. We install traditional tank-style water heaters and can help determine the appropriate capacity and fuel type for the property.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters can provide continuous hot water while eliminating the need to store a full tank of heated water. Trident Plumbing can evaluate your existing plumbing, gas or electrical requirements and hot-water demand to determine whether a tankless system is a practical option.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service
- No hot water or insufficient hot water
- Water temperature changes unexpectedly
- Water heater leaking from the tank or connections
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Unusual popping, rumbling or other noises
- Pressure relief valve leaking or discharging
- Water heater repeatedly tripping a breaker
- Older water heater requiring frequent repairs
Repair or Replace?
The right choice depends on the condition, age and specific failure of the water heater. If a practical repair can restore reliable operation, replacement may not be necessary. When the tank itself is leaking, corrosion is advanced or repair costs no longer make sense, replacement may be the better long-term option.
Choosing the Right Water Heater
Replacing a water heater is also an opportunity to make sure the new system matches the property’s actual hot-water demand. Tank size, recovery rate, fuel type and the number of people or fixtures using hot water can all affect performance. Installing a larger unit is not always the best solution if another part of the system is limiting hot-water delivery.
Trident Plumbing can evaluate the existing installation and discuss traditional tank and tankless options based on the needs of the property. Our goal is to install a system that provides reliable hot water without selling equipment or upgrades that aren’t necessary.
When a Leaking Water Heater Is an Emergency
A small drip from a fitting may be repairable, but water leaking from the tank itself can quickly damage floors, walls and surrounding equipment. If a water heater is actively leaking, shut off its water supply if you can do so safely and call for service. For an electric water heater, avoid standing in water around electrical equipment.
A leaking temperature and pressure relief valve should also be investigated rather than simply plugged or capped. The valve is an important safety device, and repeated discharge can indicate a valve problem, excessive water pressure, thermal expansion or another condition that needs to be diagnosed.
