Fixing a tank heater
A bad thermostat, a burned-out element, a weak burner or a tired relief valve can be changed alone, and the tank stays where it is.
Water Heater Repair and Installation in New Rochelle
A water heater that runs cold, rumbles, leaks or will not light is a problem for the whole house. We repair tank and tankless heaters, replace old ones and install new ones for New Rochelle homes.
Whether the unit burns gas or runs on electricity, a plumber looks at the heater, explains what is wrong and tells you whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Replacing a worn tank
A tank that leaks from the shell cannot be patched. The plumber drains it, disconnects it and sets a new tank on the same connections.
Moving to tankless
A tankless unit heats water on demand. Fitting one begins with a look at your gas or electric supply and at the vent run, to see what the heater would need.
A heater in a new spot
Relocating a heater means new water, gas or electric runs and sometimes new venting, so the plumber plans it with you before cutting anything.
Gas water heaters and the Plumbing Inspector
Installing a gas water heater takes a permit from the Plumbing Inspector, and the heater is inspected before it goes into use.
The city’s rule names gas water heaters. It says nothing here about electric ones.
Sizing for your household
Pick the water heater size calculator when you want a tank size from household size and peak use. Pick the tankless flow calculator when the heater is tankless and several showers, faucets or appliances may run together.
Reading the serial number
On the data label, the serial number carries a production date in code. Give the Water Heater Age by Serial Number tool that number along with the brand and it works out the build year.
A heater leak may start at a supply fitting, and leak detection tracks that down, while repiping replaces worn supply lines. Our other plumbing work is listed on the homepage.
