Our Water Heater Services
We cover the full life of a water heater, from the day it starts acting up to the day it is replaced. Choose the service that fits your situation.
Water heater repair
No hot water, a leak, strange noises, or water that never gets hot enough. We diagnose and fix gas, electric, and tankless units, usually the same day, when the tank itself is still sound.
Water heater installation and replacement
When a unit has failed or aged out, we remove the old one and install a new tank or tankless system, sized to your home and connected to code, with the old unit hauled away. Link to: /water-heater-installation-replacement/
Types of water heaters we service
We work on the full range of residential water heaters, so you get the same honest service no matter what you have.
Tank water heaters
The traditional, budget-friendly choice for many homes. We repair and replace tank units and size new ones to your household's hot water demand.
Tankless water heaters
On-demand units that deliver continuous hot water and save space. We repair, descale, and install tankless systems, which is especially relevant in our hard-water area.
Gas water heaters
On-demand units that deliver continuous hot water and save space. We repair, descale, and install tankless systems, which is especially relevant in our hard-water area.
Electric water heaters
We diagnose and repair heating elements, thermostats, and connections on electric units, and we install new electric systems sized to your needs.
Repair or replace? How to tell
The most common question we hear is whether a water heater is worth fixing or time to replace. Here is the honest way to think about it, and we will confirm it for your unit.
A repair usually makes sense when:
- The unit is under about ten years old.
- The tank itself is not leaking, and the fault is a part like a thermostat, element, igniter, or valve.
- It is the first real problem you have had with the unit.
Replacement is usually smarter when:
- The tank is leaking from the body rather than a fitting.
- The unit is past about ten to twelve years of service.
- Repairs are stacking up, or repair costs approach the price of a new unit.
- You want to upgrade to tankless for continuous hot water and a smaller footprint.
If you are leaning toward fixing it, start with water heater repair. If a new unit is the better long-term value, head to installation and replacement. Still unsure? Call us and we will tell you honestly.
Honest pricing and financing
T&H Plumbing prices every water heater job at a flat rate you approve before any work begins, with no trip fee and no service call fee. You only pay if you decide to move forward.
As a reference, minor water heater repairs start at around $300 to $500. Tank installation starts at $1,669 for an electric 40-gallon unit with a 6-year manufacturer warranty, and tankless installation starts at $4,085 to $4,271 with a 15-year warranty. Final pricing is confirmed during your visit, once we know the fault or the system you choose. Because a new system is a real investment, financing is available so the right choice is also an affordable one.

Water heater questions, answered
We cover the full range: repair, replacement, and new installation for both tank and tankless systems, gas and electric. If your unit is fixable, we fix it. If it has aged out or failed, we replace it and haul the old one away. We help you decide which path makes sense for your home.
It comes down to age and the failure. A unit under about ten years old with a faulty part is usually worth repairing, while a leaking tank or a unit past its service life is better replaced. We test it and give you a straight answer rather than pushing the bigger job.
Yes. We repair and install both. Tank units are the budget-friendly standard, while tankless systems deliver continuous hot water and save space. We service gas and electric versions of each and can talk through which suits your home.
A tank unit generally lasts about ten to twelve years, and a well-maintained tankless unit can last longer. Hard water shortens both by building sediment and scale, which is common here. Planning a replacement before a failure saves you the mess of a sudden leak.
Watch for water that never gets hot enough, running out quickly, rumbling or popping noises, rusty water, moisture around the base, or rising energy bills. Any of these is worth a look. Catching them early often means a repair instead of an emergency replacement.
Yes. Flushing sediment, checking the anode rod, and addressing small issues early all extend a unit's life, especially in hard-water areas. We can handle this during a service visit and point out anything that needs attention before it becomes a failure.
 We do both. On gas units we handle pilots, igniters, thermocouples, and gas valves, and on electric units we address elements, thermostats, and connections. We also install new gas and electric systems to code.
For repairs we aim to restore hot water the same day in most cases, and we carry common parts to do it on the first visit. For replacements we schedule the install as quickly as the right unit allows. Call us and we will give you a realistic time.
Yes. For replacements and tankless upgrades, financing lets you choose the right system instead of the cheapest one. We are happy to walk you through the options when you request your estimate.

Why Pickerington homeowners choose T&H Plumbing
Warts and All? Nope — Just Honest Work
The honest answer in filtration is often smaller than what gets sold. Not every home needs a whole-house system, and not every problem justifies one. We start by figuring out whether the issue is everywhere or just at one tap, then recommend the smallest setup that actually solves it. That approach saves you money now and avoids paying to filter water that was already fine.
We are a local Central Ohio company, and the crew you just met is the crew that installs your system. The people who answer your call stand behind the work, which is why homeowners in Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, New Albany, Bexley, Canal Winchester, and Baltimore trust us with their water and refer their neighbors.
Here is what comes with every filtration project:
Right-scoped recommendations
