Good To Know

Water heater FAQs

Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the age and condition of the unit. A water heater past 10–12 years that leaks from the tank usually needs replacing, while pilot, thermostat and valve issues are often a simple repair. Watson's gives you an honest recommendation and a clear up-front price either way. Call (212) 368-3434.
Do you install both tank and tankless water heaters?
Yes. Our licensed master plumbers install and service traditional tank and on-demand tankless water heaters, gas and electric, across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
Why is my water heater leaking?
Leaks can come from a loose drain valve, a failed temperature-pressure relief valve, or corrosion inside the tank itself. We diagnose the source before recommending a repair or replacement so you only pay for what you need.
How long does a water heater installation take?
A standard tank replacement is usually a same-day job. Tankless conversions can take longer depending on gas and venting requirements. We confirm the scope and price before we start.
