Difficult Water Heater Situation

We had a difficult water heater situation at our home. It was in a super tight area and several other companies said they couldn't help without major construction. Brandon, our plumber, came in and he told me he was going to make it work and he did!! Brandon was incredibly professional, he informed me of any changes that had to occur and was very timely. I will never go to any other plumber.

Smooth Installation

I had a leaking water heater that needed replacing. Scheduling was great and installation went very smoothly.

Dependable & Reasonable

We have used Omega for many years now. They are dependable and reasonably priced. They recently installed a high-efficiency tankless water heater and whole house filtering and water softening system for us. We love it! Whenever friends ask if we know someone who can help with a plumbing issue, we refer them to Omega. As their tagline says, they are the last plumber you will ever need!

water heater faq

Regular water heater maintenance extends its lifespan and prevents costly breakdowns. Scheduling an annual inspection with Omega Plumbing Heating & Cooling can:

  • Detect small issues before they become expensive repairs
  • Improve energy efficiency and reduce utility bills
  • Prevent sudden hot water failures
  • Prolong the life of your tank or tankless water heater

If your water heater is making knocking or rumbling sounds, sediment buildup could be the cause. Hard water minerals settle at the bottom of the tank, causing overheating and reducing efficiency.

  • Flushing your water heater annually helps remove sediment buildup.
  • If noises persist, schedule a water heater inspection with Omega Plumbing to prevent damage.
  • A noisy water heater may also indicate a failing heating element, which can be repaired quickly.”

If you notice a leaking water heater, follow these steps:

  1. Turn off the water supply to prevent further leakage.
  2. Shut off the power or gas supply for safety.
  3. Call Omega Plumbing Heating & Cooling for emergency water heater repair.

Our team will inspect the unit, locate the source of the leak, and determine if a repair is possible. If the tank is beyond repair, we will provide an affordable quote for a new energy-efficient water heater installation.

A water heater typically lasts between 8 to 12 years. Its longevity can vary based on maintenance, installation quality, and local water conditions. Extend your water heater’s life with regular maintenance from Omega Plumbing like flushing sediment and checking the anode rod.
