Water Heater Repair

If your water heater is leaking, producing less hot water, or no longer working, contact TCS Plumbing. We’ll assess the unit and explain whether repair or replacement may be the better option.


The right solution depends on the water heater, the problem, its condition, and the needs of your home. TCS Plumbing can discuss the findings and available options with you before work begins.


If you notice a water heater problem, call to discuss what is happening and arrange service.

Water Heater Replacement

Water heaters do not last forever. If your current unit needs frequent attention or is no longer meeting your household’s needs, TCS Plumbing can help you consider a replacement.


We’ll discuss the available equipment and the details that affect your choice, such as:

  • Tank or tankless design
  • Fuel and venting requirements
  • Available space
  • Hot water needs
  • The type of water heater being replaced


TCS Plumbing commonly installs 40- and 50-gallon tank water heaters. The right size depends on the home and its hot water use, so we’ll discuss your situation before recommending an option.

Water Heater Installation

TCS Plumbing installs water heaters for new and existing homes. Our team can help you compare suitable models and explain the installation options for your home.


We work with several types of water heaters:

  • Tank water heaters: Store and heat water in a tank. TCS Plumbing commonly installs 40- and 50-gallon models.
  • Tankless water heaters: Heat water as it is needed. TCS Plumbing primarily installs Navien tankless models.
  • Propane water heaters: An option for homes set up for propane.
  • Power-vent and direct-vent models: Venting options that depend on the home and selected water heater.
  • Heat-pump water heaters: Another system type to discuss based on your home and installation needs.


The right choice depends on more than the unit itself. Space, fuel, venting, and household demand can all affect which models are suitable.

Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters: Which Is Right for Your Home?

If you are replacing a water heater, you may wonder whether to stay with a tank or switch to tankless. Both can be suitable options. The right choice depends on your hot water needs, your home’s setup, and the work required for installation.


When a Tank Water Heater May Make Sense

A tank water heater stores heated water for use throughout your home. Replacing an existing tank with a similar model may be a practical choice when the current setup meets your needs.


TCS Plumbing primarily installs Bradford White tank water heaters, with 40- and 50-gallon models being common choices. We can discuss whether a similar replacement or a different option makes sense for your household.


When to Consider a Tankless Water Heater

A tankless water heater heats water as it flows through the unit rather than storing it in a tank. It may be worth considering if you want to explore a different system or need to make better use of available space.


TCS Plumbing primarily installs Navien tankless water heaters. Proper sizing matters because the unit must handle your household’s hot water demand and the temperature of the incoming water.


What to Know Before Making the Switch

Switching to tankless is not always a direct swap. The installation requirements may differ from those of your existing water heater, which can affect the work involved and the total cost.

Tankless also does not automatically mean instant hot water at every faucet. Water still has to travel from the heater through your pipes.


TCS Plumbing can assess your current setup, explain suitable options, and discuss current pricing so you can make an informed decision.
