Water Heater Installation & Repairs
Reliable Water Heater Repair
Your water heater plays a crucial role in your home, providing hot water for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and everyday comfort. That’s why Bahr Plumbing is here to provide fast, reliable, and affordable water heater repairs to get your hot water running again.
Perhaps your current water heater is aging, prone to frequent breakdowns, or ineffective. In such instances, it may be time to consider installing a brand-new water heater! We offer a wide selection of high-quality water heaters and expert installation services to serve you.
❋ Tank The most common choice for Florida homes, tank water heaters store 30–80 gallons of hot water so it's ready whenever you need it. They work with gas or electric, are straightforward to install, and replacement parts are widely available. A solid, budget-friendly option for most households.
❋ Electric Tankless Electric tankless heaters heat water on demand — no tank, no standby energy loss. They're compact enough to mount under a sink or in a closet, and they never "run out" the way a tank can. A good fit for smaller households or as a dedicated point-of-use unit for a bathroom addition or garage.
❋ Gas TanklessGas tankless units deliver a higher flow rate than electric models, making them well-suited for larger homes with multiple bathrooms running at once. They heat water instantly as it passes through, cutting energy use compared to keeping a full tank hot around the clock. Requires a natural gas or propane line and proper venting.
❋ HybridHybrid water heaters pull heat from the surrounding air rather than generating it directly, making them two to three times more efficient than a standard electric tank. Florida's warm climate makes them especially effective here — they thrive in the heat we already have. They do need a bit of space and good airflow, so garages and utility rooms are ideal locations.
Some Common Water Heater Issues
-
If there is no hot water in your home, you know to call for repairs. There may be any of several issues with your water heater, although it likely has to do with the electric components or ignition system. This could be due to a lack of power or gas flow or a faulty heating element.
-
When hot water seems scarce or if you only receive intermittent bursts of hot water from your sink or shower, there could be an issue with a heating element, thermostat or other electronic sensor.
-
If there are loud rumbling noises in your tank, your technician may flush the tank to rid it of any mineral deposits.
-
The anode rod is a component that keeps the water heater tank from rusting and eventually corroding. This rod attracts corrosion to protect the inside of your tank. When worn, the internal tank of the water heater begin to corrode increasing the likelihood of a catastrophic failure. Worn anode rods can also lead to unwanted odor when using hot water.
-
If a water heater is leaking, there could be an issue with the temperature and pressure relief valve. However, if the leaking comes from the tank itself, the tank may have corroded, a problem which requires replacement.
Our licensed plumbers are trained to install, service, and repair every type of water heater — tank, tankless, gas, electric, and hybrid. Whether you're replacing an aging tank unit or upgrading to a more efficient system, we'll make sure your installation is done to code, properly permitted, and built to last. We work on all major brands, so no matter what's currently in your home, we can help.
