No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

Water Heater Repair in Pella, Iowa
Hard water is hard on tanks, and much of Pella runs hard. Sediment builds on the bottom of a gas heater until the burner is firing through an inch of scale, which is why an eight year old tank in Pella can sound like it is boiling gravel. We flush it, test the anode, replace what has failed, and tell you plainly how much life is left.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Pella homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.

Water Heater Repair in Pella: common questions
Is it worth repairing my water heater or should I replace it?
Under eight years old with a single failed part, repair almost always wins. Past twelve, with a leaking tank body, replacement is the only real option - a rusted-through tank cannot be patched. We give you both numbers for your Pella home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Pella?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Pella repairs finish on the first visit with hot water back before we leave.
My water heater is leaking - is that an emergency?
If water is coming from the tank body itself, yes, call (833) 435-9778 now and shut off the water supply to the heater. If it is dripping from a fitting or the T&P valve, it is urgent but not a flood risk, and we can usually be out the same day.
Why does my hot water run out so fast in Pella?
Most often sediment has stolen capacity from the bottom of the tank, or a lower element has failed on an electric heater so only the top half heats. Both are repairable. A dip tube that has broken down will do it too.
