Parts we carry and replace on the first visit

Carrying the common parts means most Elkhorn repairs finish in one visit rather than turning into a return trip three days later.

  • Thermocouples and flame sensors
  • Upper and lower heating elements (electric)
  • Upper and lower thermostats and high-limit / ECO switches
  • Gas control valves and pilot assemblies
  • Temperature & pressure (T&P) relief valves
  • Drain valves, dip tubes and anode rods
  • Thermal expansion tanks and shut-off valves
  • Flue baffles, draft hoods and vent connectors

Gas versus electric — different faults, different fixes

Gas water heaters

Pilot outages, failed thermocouples, dirty burners, gas control valves and venting problems. Anything involving combustion gets a draft test before we leave — a backdrafting flue is a carbon monoxide problem, not just a hot water problem.

Electric water heaters

Tripped ECO switches, burned elements, failed thermostats and corroded wiring at the terminals. We test the elements under load rather than guessing, so you are not paying for a part that was fine.

When we tell you to stop repairing it

A rusted-through tank is the end of the line. So is a unit that has needed three separate repairs in two years. We will say so rather than selling you a fourth. If replacement is the honest answer, we price it the same day.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you repair my water heater?

Same day in most cases. Call in the morning and we are usually there the same afternoon; emergency and no-heat calls get priority.

Do you repair every brand?

Yes — Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, State, Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, State Select and the rest. The failure modes are the same regardless of the badge on the front.

Is a leaking T&P valve dangerous?

A dripping T&P valve is telling you something: either the valve has failed, or the tank is over-pressurised or overheating. It is a safety device and it should never be plugged or capped. Get it looked at.
