Water Heater Services

Hot water is something you depend on every day—for showers, laundry, dishes, and more. When your water heater isn’t working properly, it disrupts your whole routine. At Miami Plumbing Contractors, we provide complete water heater services for homes and businesses throughout Miami. From fast repairs and efficient replacements to expert installation and maintenance, our licensed plumbers ensure your hot water system runs reliably, efficiently, and safely—no matter what type of water heater you use.

Water Heater Repairs Done Right

Not getting hot water? Water temperature fluctuating? Noticing strange noises or leaks? These are all signs your water heater needs professional attention. Our Miami-based technicians can diagnose and fix water heater problems quickly, restoring your comfort with minimal downtime. We repair all makes and models of both tank and tankless water heaters.

Common water heater problems we fix:

  • No hot water or water that’s too hot
  • Inconsistent temperatures or low pressure
  • Unusual sounds like banging, popping, or rumbling
  • Leaks around the tank or from fittings
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • Water heater not staying lit (gas units)

Our service vehicles are stocked with parts for most major brands, including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, Navien, and more. We handle both electric and gas models, and we’ll always recommend repair when it’s the most cost-effective solution. If your system is outdated or unsafe, we’ll explain your replacement options clearly—no pressure, no surprises.

Water Heater Installation and Replacement

If your water heater is 10+ years old, needs frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household’s needs, it might be time for a replacement. Miami Plumbing Contractors installs high-quality water heaters that are properly sized, code-compliant, and built to last. We help you choose the best option based on your home’s size, water usage, and energy preferences.

We install:

  • Standard tank-style water heaters (gas and electric)
  • Tankless water heaters for on-demand hot water
  • Hybrid heat pump water heaters for energy efficiency
  • High-capacity models for large households

Our team handles everything from removing the old unit to securing all connections, venting, and pressure safety components. We also pull necessary permits and schedule any inspections required by Miami-Dade County. Once your new heater is installed, we’ll test it thoroughly and walk you through operation and maintenance tips to keep it running great for years.

Tank vs. Tankless: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between a traditional tank-style water heater and a modern tankless system depends on your household’s needs, preferences, and budget. Our Miami water heater experts can help you compare your options and make an informed decision.

Tank-style water heaters: More affordable upfront and familiar to most homeowners. Store a fixed amount of hot water, which can run out during heavy use.

Tankless water heaters: Heat water on demand, saving energy and providing unlimited hot water. Ideal for smaller homes, families with high usage, or customers interested in long-term energy savings.

Hybrid systems: Combine storage tank with heat pump technology for maximum efficiency. Best suited for homes with high hot water demand and space for a larger unit.

We’ll assess your layout, usage patterns, and existing plumbing to help you choose the right system. If you’re switching types—like going from tank to tankless—we’ll handle all necessary retrofitting and upgrades, including gas line or electrical work.

Water Heater Maintenance Services

Like any major appliance, your water heater works best with regular maintenance. Miami Plumbing Contractors offers routine service appointments to flush sediment, check safety components, inspect for leaks, and ensure optimal temperature and pressure settings. Annual maintenance can help your water heater last longer, run more efficiently, and avoid costly repairs.

Our water heater maintenance includes:

  • Flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup
  • Inspecting and replacing anode rods (as needed)
  • Checking pressure relief valves and expansion tanks
  • Inspecting gas burners or electrical elements
  • Testing thermostat and temperature controls

Miami’s water contains minerals that can contribute to sediment buildup and reduce efficiency over time. Maintenance is especially important for tank-style heaters, but it benefits tankless units as well by preventing scale buildup in the heating elements.

Gas Water Heater Services

Gas water heaters are popular throughout Miami for their fast recovery times and lower operating costs. We install and service natural gas and propane models, ensuring proper venting, pressure regulation, and ignition safety. If you’re installing a new gas heater or converting from electric, we also handle gas line installations and permitting.

Electric Water Heater Services

Electric water heaters are quiet, reliable, and easier to install in homes without gas service. We install standard electric units and hybrid heat pump models, and provide repairs for faulty thermostats, heating elements, and circuit breakers.

Tankless Water Heater Expertise

Miami Plumbing Contractors is Miami’s tankless water heater specialist. We install, service, and repair all major brands, and can help you enjoy the benefits of endless hot water, lower energy bills, and a compact footprint. We also flush and descale tankless units to maintain peak performance.
