Fixing a tank heater
Burners, thermocouples, gas valves, heating elements, thermostats, anode rods and relief valves can all be replaced on a tank that is otherwise sound.
Water Heater Repair and Installation in Yonkers
Cold showers, rust-colored hot water, a pilot light that keeps going out or a puddle under the tank are reasons to have a plumber look at your water heater. We handle gas and electric tanks and tankless units, from a single replacement part to a complete new installation.
Gas or electric, tank or tankless, in Yonkers or in Mount Vernon, New Rochelle or White Plains, the first step is a phone call with the brand and rough age of the heater.

Replacing an old tank
Once water seeps from the tank shell itself, no part will fix it. The old heater comes out, a new one sized for your household goes in, and the water, fuel or power and venting are hooked back up.
Switching to tankless
Instead of storing hot water, a tankless unit heats it as it passes through. The size depends on the flow you need and on the temperature of the incoming water, and we check the gas line and venting before making the change.
A heater in a new spot
A heater moved to another room, or a second unit for a finished basement or an added bathroom, needs new supply and drain piping and, for gas, new venting.
City approval for plumbing and gas work
In Yonkers, the city has to approve new or altered plumbing, drainage and gas work before it starts, on an application signed by the owner. The approved plans act as the permit for the work, and minor repairs to an existing system are exempt.
Sizing for your household
Our tankless figures for Yonkers use an incoming water temperature of 52°F, set from the town’s January low of about 25°F, so a unit has to lift the water 68°F to reach 120°F. Check whether one unit carries two showers at that rise with the tankless flow calculator, or match a tank to your household with the water heater size calculator.
How old is your heater?
The build date is coded in the serial number on the data plate, and each brand writes it differently. Our serial number decoder reads it for Bradford White, Rheem, A.O. Smith and the other brands on its list, so you know the age before you call.
Hidden leaks near the heater are covered on our leak finding page, and old supply pipes on the repiping page. You can also return to the homepage for every service we offer.
