Water Heater Repair

No hot water, not enough hot water or a leak on the floor — we diagnose the problem and give you straight options. We repair and replace gas and electric tank water heaters, tankless water heaters and heat pump water heaters for homes across Chesapeake and surrounding areas. If a repair makes sense, we’ll fix it. If replacement is the better value, we’ll help you pick the right size and type and install it fast, often the same day.

How do you know if your water heater needs repair?

  • Water runs lukewarm or turns cold quickly
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • Rumbling, popping or banging from the tank
  • Water pooling around the base or a dripping relief valve
  • A tank that is 10 or more years old
  • A tankless unit showing error codes or shutting off

If you smell gas near a gas water heater, leave the house and call your gas company first, then give us a call.

It's not just the repair...

You need to establish a routine maintenance schedule

Too often, homeowners wait until their water heater fails to call for service. Flushing a tank water heater and checking its anode rod and relief valve can add years to its life. Tankless water heaters need descaling on a regular schedule, especially with hard water, to keep them running efficiently and protect the warranty.

At Hobbs Mechanical we keep it simple: honest recommendations, quality work and options that fit your budget. Regardless of your hot water needs, we have you covered.
