Your water heater is one of your most important appliances. Hot water is needed when you shower, wash your hands, run the dishwasher, or do laundry, so an improperly selected or malfunctioning unit will disrupt your routine.
Central Ohio is known for its cold winters, during which freezing temperatures, snow, and ice can damage your pipes and your water heater. These conditions can affect your home for days or weeks at a time. Fortunately, you can trust Apex Pros for expert water heater repair or replacement. Read our 5 Star Reviews!
Our skilled plumbers help you select the right model for your home. Water heaters come in various sizes. Tank-based units range from 30 gallons to 100 gallons (tankless models are rated by their flow rate). The more occupants and the more bathrooms your home has, the larger the system you need. We can also help you upgrade to a tankless water heater, which is compact, energy-efficient, and delivers an unlimited supply of hot water.
Professional Water Heater Service and Repair
At Apex Pros, our licensed professionals can help with all your water heater requirements. A water heater is a large, complex appliance. It has many components and connections to your electrical system and, in some cases, a gas line. Even standard models are too large and heavy to work with safely without experience. Our technicians do the hard work plus provide repair services throughout the life of your water heater.
Is It Time for Water Heater Repair or Replacement?
The friendly contractors at Apex Pros can help you decide whether to fix your old water heater again or replace it. Most parts can be replaced. But when your system needs frequent repairs or is too expensive to fix, it’s time for a new one. Also, it’s usually better to replace a unit you’ve had for 15 or more years.
If you’re wondering whether to give us a call, here are some signs your water heater should be checked out:
- Spike in Utility Costs: Your utility bills may be higher because your aging water heater is working less efficiently or a malfunction is causing it to work harder.
- Hot Water Runs Out Quickly: Sediment in the tank, a worn dip tube, or a faulty thermostat can cause hot water to run out faster than usual.
- No Hot Water: A lack of hot water means your water heater isn’t working. However, if it takes more than a minute or two to get warm water, or the water is too hot, this also signals a problem.
- A Leaking Water Heater: Leaks are common and can cause corrosion inside the tank. They may be due to a cracked tank, damaged valve, loose connection, or worn-out anode rod.
- Poor Water Quality: If your hot water is brown, rusty, or otherwise discolored or doesn’t smell or taste right, contact us to determine if you need water heater repair or replacement.
- Lots of Noise: Rumbling, sizzling, banging, crackling, popping, screeching, or high-pitched whistling are concerning noises that your water heater shouldn’t make.

Water Heater Installation
The only way to benefit from water heater replacement is to have a professional assess your needs. Our technicians help you choose the right model. A water heater with adequate capacity provides a constant hot water supply, as it can keep up with the demand. The experts at Apex Pros know all the steps to installing a water heater tank and other components, which must be properly secured and connected for the system to run smoothly, reliably, and efficiently.
Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater is more energy efficient because it runs only when needed, rather than keeping a tank full hot all the time. It turns on when you open the hot water faucet and water starts flowing through the inlet pipe. Tankless systems are small enough to mount on a wall in a closet. They can heat water using a gas burner or electric heating element. A properly maintained unit can last over 20 years (tank-style systems last about 10 years). Contact us to learn about our tankless water heater services, whether it’s time for an upgrade or repair.
