Water Heater Repair & Replacement

Hot Water is an essential part of your daily routine, from showering to cooking, we rely on our water heaters to function correctly day and night. When your hot water starts to run cold or your water heater tank is leaking or just needs to be replaced, call Legacy Plumbing. Our expert water heater technicians and friendly staff are here to help you.

Legacy Plumbing will send a friendly, clean, and knowledgeable plumber to your home to repair or replace your residential gas or electric water heater. We always offer prompt, affordable, dependable, expert service you and your family can count on.

There are several indicators when your water heater needs to be replaced. Taking a few minutes to analyze your water heater performance can help you determine if it is time for a replacement. Being proactive now can help eliminate inconvenience or unforeseen damage if your tank should suddenly go out.

Different Types of Water Heaters

GAS WATER HEATERS

Natural gas water heaters are the most common water heater in the North DFW area by-far. Most of these have a rated capacity of 50 gallons. New gas tank-style water heaters have many more safety features than those of the past – the biggest of which is a closed-combustion design. Gas water heaters are efficient and very reliable over the long-haul.

ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS

50 gallon electric tank-style water heaters are also very common. Typically, these are installed in neighborhoods that do not supply gas hookups. These will usually last between 13-15 years before the tank itself starts to leak. It is not uncommon for one of the heating elements or thermostats to fail before that though. This can be changed out without replacing the entire tank.

TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

Tankless technology has been around for a long time, but it is only recently really taking off in the Collin/Denton County area. Many new homes are being built with a natural gas tankless water heater pre-installed. Many of these are installed in the exterior wall, some are installed in the garage, and some are installed in the attic.

Legacy Automatic Advantage

When we install your new Rheem water heater, we will upgrade your water heater installation with:

New Stainless Steel Water Supply Lines
New Quarter Turn Water Shut Off Ball Valve

PLUS: We pull a permit and check the specific code requirements of the city you are located in to make sure everything is done up to code and passes inspection the first time. We dispose of the old, damaged heater at no extra cost.

What if I don’t need a new tank?

Age and lack of hot water are not always indicators of needing replacement. You may just need a repair. We want to provide you with an honest diagnosis and course of action for your water heater that fits your budget and needs. We will NEVER sell you anything you do not need.

Age

A gas water heater is expected to last 10-12 years, while an electric model tends to last 10-15 years. If your heater is getting close to its life expectancy, especially if located indoors or in an attic, it may be prudent to change it before it goes out or starts leaking.

Discolored Water

Do you get tinted water when you open up the hot water tap? Rust-colored hot water is an indication of a bad tank.

Inadequate Temperature

If your hot water is not as hot or if you run out of hot water under normal conditions, it may be time for a new water heater.

Moisture/Puddles

Moisture around the base may signal a slow leak. If the water is pooling around the bottom with no sign of water on the supply lines, then the tank itself if probably leaking.

Don’t wait until you jump into an icy shower at 6 am to decide that it’s time to consult with a plumber. If you are unsure of the condition of your water heater, contact Legacy Water Heaters for more information. We are professional licensed plumbers who can work with you to create a safe and affordable solution for your family.

Recent Reviews of Water Heater Services

We recently had to replace our water heater and used Legacy Plumbing for the first time. We were extremely pleased with the prompt service. Kelly McGinn was our plumbing technician. He was extremely knowledgeable, great down to earth personality, with superior craftsmanship. He was also very helpful in explaining the operation and maintenance of the hot water heater. I would highly recommend Legacy Plumbing to all relatives and friends. Thanks Kelly for the great job and service. Tim McNulty

Luis is currently installing a water heater in my home as we speak. I’ve owned homes throughout the US and have had multiple projects through the years and have never had a technician as professional, knowledgeable and courteous as Luis. He is truly an asset to Legacy plumbing. Legacy plumbing is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I would ONLY recommend Legacy for any plumbing need.

Donald

We saw good reviews on the Web and decided to take a chance with Legacy Plumbing to replace our water heater. From the initial phone call to the final installation, we were extremely satisfied with their service! The ladies in the office were super nice and helpful, both on the phone and via e-mail, and the plumber, Sean, who came to the house to do the job, was very friendly and professional. We had an 8-10 a.m. time slot, and Sean called around 8:15 a.m. when he was on the way and arrived shortly after that. We were told it would take around 4 hours, but Sean knocked it out in less than 3 hours. He took the time to explain everything to us and to answer all our questions. It was obvious that he takes pride in his work. We just couldn’t be more pleased with Legacy Plumbing and won’t hesitate to recommend it to our friends!

As always, Legacy Plumbing did not disappoint! Cole and Adam replaced my two hot water heaters today. They were able to replace the same day as the initial service call which was absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond and I could not be happier with the level of service I received. I will always call Legacy for my plumbing needs.

Christie Odum

I called Legacy the first time to install a hot water heater. Kelly was timely, very professional & friendly. He explained everything I needed to know, then answered all of my additional questions. Because he did such a great job, I called them a few months later and requested Kelly to replace leaking & broken bathroom fixtures. He and Evan did a great job and left everything clean and in order. Thank you both for your wonderful service.
