Water Heater Services FAQs
How much does water heater repair cost in Charlotte?
Water heater repair in Charlotte typically costs $150-$500 depending on the issue. Common repairs include thermostat replacement, heating element replacement, and anode rod replacement. Full water heater replacement including installation ranges from $1,200-$3,500 for tank models and $3,000-$5,500 for tankless units.
How long do water heaters last?
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless water heaters can last 15-20 years. Factors that affect lifespan include water quality, usage patterns, and regular maintenance like flushing the tank and replacing the anode rod. We recommend annual inspections to maximize your unit life.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Generally, if your water heater is over 10 years old, needs frequent repairs, shows signs of rust or corrosion, or the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new unit price, replacement is the better investment. We will give you honest advice and upfront pricing for both options so you can make the right decision.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Yes. ArtFix Plumbing installs and services both tank and tankless water heaters. Tankless units provide endless hot water, take up less space, and are more energy efficient. We help you choose the right size and model for your household needs and handle all installation including any necessary gas or electrical upgrades.
Why is my water heater making noise?
Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds from your water heater usually indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. This sediment traps water underneath which overheats and creates noise. Flushing the tank often resolves this. Hissing may indicate a leak. Call us for a diagnosis if noises persist.
Can you provide same-day water heater replacement?
Yes. For water heater failures, we offer same-day replacement whenever possible. We stock common tank sizes on our trucks and can install most standard replacements within 2-4 hours. For tankless installations or specialty units, we typically complete installation within 1-2 business days.
