Gas water heater wasn't lighting — homeowner said they'd been getting lukewarm showers for three days. Pulled the access panel and found the thermocouple was completely shot, registering zero millivolts when it should hit 25-30. Also noticed the gas valve was a White Rodgers 36C03 that was probably 12 years old and starting to stick. Replaced the thermocouple with an OEM Honeywell unit, cleaned the burner assembly while I was in there. Fired it up and cycled it four times — pilot stays lit, main burner kicks on properly, water temp hitting 120 degrees. Should be good for years now.

Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours depending on your setup. We'll drain the old unit, disconnect utilities, install the new heater, and test everything. If we're switching from gas to electric or need new venting, add another hour or two.
Watch for rusty water, strange noises like popping or rumbling, water pooling around the base, or lukewarm showers. If your unit is over 8-10 years old and showing these signs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
If your heater is under 6 years old with a minor issue like a thermostat or heating element, repair makes sense. Beyond 8 years or with major problems like tank corrosion or multiple failures, replacement saves money long-term.
Yes, Rhode Island Energy offers rebates up to $750 for high-efficiency electric heat pump water heaters. Some gas models qualify for smaller rebates. We'll help you navigate the paperwork and ensure your new unit meets efficiency requirements.
Spring's temperature swings make your water heater work harder as ground and basement temperatures fluctuate. Older homes often have uninsulated basements, so your unit cycles more frequently. This is actually a great time for replacement before summer demand hits.
