From no hot water to strange noises — we’ve seen it all and fixed it all
Common causes: A tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a pilot light that has gone out, or a failed heating element can leave you with nothing but cold water.
What we do: We’ll inspect the power source or gas supply, test the ignition components or heating elements, and get your hot water running again in one visit.
Common causes: Sediment buildup in the tank, a broken dip tube, or an undersized unit for your household’s needs often result in showers turning cold too quickly.
What we do: Our team will flush the tank to remove sediment or replace faulty internal components to maximize your system’s hot water capacity.
Common causes: A thermostat set too high or a faulty temperature-pressure (T&P) relief valve can lead to dangerously hot water and high pressure.
What we do: We’ll recalibrate your thermostat and inspect safety valves to ensure your water temperature is both comfortable and safe for your family.
Common causes: Leaks can stem from loose valves, high tank pressure, or internal corrosion that has finally breached the tank’s lining.
What we do: We’ll identify the source of the leak and repair valves or connections. If the tank itself is corroded, we’ll provide honest advice on repair versus replacement.
Common causes: Rusty water often indicates that the sacrificial anode rod has failed and the interior of your tank is beginning to corrode.
What we do: We’ll replace the anode rod and flush the system to stop the corrosion process and clear up your water quality.
Common causes: Bacteria buildup inside the tank, often reacting with the anode rod, can create a foul sulfur-like smell in your hot water.
What we do: We’ll perform a professional tank disinfection and, if necessary, replace the anode rod with a type less prone to odor-causing reactions.
Common causes: As sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank, steam bubbles "pop" through the layer of scale, creating a loud rumbling or kettling sound.
What we do: We perform a deep system flush to remove mineral buildup, which not only silences the noise but also improves heating efficiency.
Common causes: A dirty or faulty thermocouple is the most common reason a gas water heater’s pilot light keeps going out.
What we do: We’ll clean or replace the thermocouple and check the gas valve to ensure your burner ignites reliably every time.
Common causes: Mineral scale buildup in the heat exchanger or issues with the venting system can cause tankless units to display error codes and shut down.
What we do: We provide specialized tankless descaling services and sensor calibration to keep your "on-demand" system running flawlessly.

Fantastic experience replacing our outdated gas furnace and water heater with a new heat pump system. The team was professional and efficient. The best part? We saved thousands thanks to the generous rebates available. This upgrade is definitely worth it.

Questions & Answers
Common signs that your water heater may need repair include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, leaks around the unit, and rusty or discolored water. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to contact a professional for an inspection.
At IRBIS HVAC, we repair gas, electric and heat pump water heaters. Our technicians are experienced with a wide range of brands and models.
The duration of a water heater repair depends on the complexity of the issue. Most minor repairs can be completed within a few hours, while more complex problems may take longer. Our technicians will provide an estimated time frame after diagnosing the problem.
This depends on the age and condition of your water heater. Generally, if your water heater is less than 10 years old and the repair costs are reasonable, it's worth repairing. However, if your unit is older or the repairs are costly, replacing it might be a more cost-effective solution in the long run. Our experts can help you make the best decision for your situation.
Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your water heater. This includes flushing the tank annually to remove sediment buildup, checking the anode rod, and inspecting for any signs of wear or leaks. IRBIS HVAC offers maintenance services to keep your water heater running efficiently.
No, our technicians are available Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm. However, our Customer Care Line is available 24/7 to help you arrange an appointment within our business hours.
