Reliable Hot Water When You Need It

Water heater repair and installation services throughout San Antonio, Texas

You turn on the tap in your San Antonio home expecting hot water, but instead you get lukewarm or freezing cold water that makes morning showers unbearable. Temperature fluctuations, puddles forming around the base of the tank, or loud banging sounds during operation all point to a water heater that needs immediate attention. B & C Service Pros, LLC works throughout San Antonio to restore consistent hot water when your system starts showing signs of failure.

Our team repairs traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems, addressing temperature inconsistencies, internal corrosion that causes leaks, sediment buildup that reduces efficiency, and pilot light failures that leave you without any hot water at all. If your unit is beyond repair or you want to switch from a storage tank to a tankless model, we handle complete installations with proper venting, gas line connections, and electrical wiring to meet local codes. You will notice water heating up faster, holding temperature longer, and using less energy once a failing system is replaced.

Call B & C Service Pros, LLC to schedule a water heater inspection in San Antonio and find out whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your home.

What Happens During a Water Heater Service Call

We begin by checking the age of your water heater, inspecting visible connections for corrosion or moisture, and testing water temperature at multiple fixtures throughout your San Antonio home. If the thermostat setting is correct but water never reaches the right temperature, we check the heating elements in electric models or the burner assembly in gas units. Sediment that settles at the bottom of a tank can insulate the heating element and cause the system to work harder without delivering results.

After we repair a faulty component or install a new water heater, you will notice water reaching the desired temperature within minutes, no more cold spots during a shower, and no puddles forming on the floor. The system will operate quietly without the rumbling or popping sounds that come from trapped air or mineral deposits inside the tank.

For new installations, we remove the old unit, connect the new water heater to existing plumbing and gas or electrical lines, install a fresh pressure relief valve, and test the system under load. Tankless models require specific placement for proper venting and may need an upgraded gas line to handle the higher demand. We do not install units in locations that lack adequate ventilation or clearance from combustible materials.

Questions people ask before scheduling service

Homeowners often wonder how long a repair will take, whether a tankless system is worth the upfront cost, and what signs mean a water heater is about to fail completely. Here are answers to the most common questions we hear.

How long does a typical water heater repair take?
Most repairs, such as replacing a thermostat or heating element, take one to two hours once we have the parts on hand. Leaks caused by a cracked tank cannot be repaired and require full replacement, which takes three to four hours depending on whether we need to upgrade venting or gas lines.
What are the signs that my water heater needs replacement instead of repair?
If your tank is more than ten years old and showing rust-colored water, persistent leaks, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Popping sounds and inconsistent temperatures in older units often mean sediment buildup has damaged internal components beyond what a simple flush can fix.
Why does my water heater run out of hot water so quickly?
Your tank may be too small for your household demand, or sediment buildup is reducing the amount of usable hot water inside the tank. We can drain and flush the system to restore capacity, or recommend a larger tank or tankless unit if your family has outgrown the current setup.
What is the difference between a traditional and tankless water heater?
A traditional tank heater stores and continuously heats a set amount of water, while a tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the system. Tankless models never run out of hot water, take up less space, and last longer, but cost more upfront and require proper gas line sizing.
How often should I have my water heater serviced in San Antonio?
You should flush the tank and inspect the anode rod once a year to prevent sediment buildup and internal corrosion. Hard water in some San Antonio neighborhoods accelerates mineral deposits, so annual maintenance helps extend the life of your system.
