You rely on your water heater for your and your family’s daily lives. It’s a vital appliance that provides you with hot water for showers, cleaning your clothes, and washing your dishes.

Complete Water Heater Repair Services

For over 40 years, we’ve been providing customers in the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati areas with honest and reliable water heater repair services.

Whether your water heater repairs can be scheduled for the next day or you’re in need of emergency plumbing services, we’re here to get your household functioning again as soon as possible.

Water Heater Repair

Water heaters can sometimes encounter different mechanical issues. Trying to fix them yourself can cost you hundreds of dollars and potentially put your household in danger.

Typically, a water heater malfunction occurs with an older water heater. The average lifespan of a water heater is around 8 to 12 years. Most problems arise toward the end of the appliance’s lifespan.

Neglecting to repair your unit could result in a safety hazard. Contact the professionals at Jolly Plumbing to inspect your unit.

We’ll come out to evaluate your water heater and determine whether your appliance needs a simple repair or replacement. If your water heater is still under warranty, we’ll get the necessary parts from the manufacturer and fix it.

Water Heater Maintenance

Tank water heaters require ongoing maintenance throughout their lifespan. Your water heater should be flushed each year.

As water goes through electric or natural gas water heaters, minerals and sediment fall out. They then settle at the bottom of your water heater’s tank. As the years go on, they begin to build up and block the heating elements from delivering their full energy to heating the water.

Hiring a professional to flush your water heater is essential. Attempting to do it yourself could result in system damage or even hot water burns. Our team of specialists can perform this task correctly and safely, improving the efficiency of your unit.

Water Heater Installation and Replacement

As mentioned, water heaters usually last up to 12 years. Water heaters account for a lot of your household’s energy usage. An older model can be inefficient, even if it lasts beyond the average lifespan.

Upgrading your outdated water heater to a new electric, gas, or tankless water heater could reduce your monthly energy bills. You’ll notice an improvement in its performance while enjoying the benefits of a more efficient unit.

One of our plumbing experts will come out to your household and provide you with a recommendation based on your household’s needs. Call us today to receive a free estimate.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair Your Water Heater?

There are a variety of factors that come into play when replacing or repairing a water heater. One of those factors is whether your unit is gas or electric. Gas water heaters are a bit more expensive than electric ones.

Access to your water heater also plays a role in the cost of repairs or replacements. If it’s difficult to access your unit, the job will take more time.

When a new water heater is installed, the state needs to inspect it. Jolly Plumbing will take care of scheduling the inspection, but new water heaters are required to have an expansion tank. If your old water heater doesn’t have an expansion tank, that’ll be an extra cost.

Grateful to the Jolly team for taking care of us and our HVAC system. The home plan is nice because it’s a small fee a month and includes cleanings/checks that could be easily neglected. Nathan S. was thorough yet quick to complete the job. Thanks!

Blake is the technician on our job. He was very thorough and honest with regard to our options (we had an outdoor faucet freeze & burst). It’s a difficult situation as access is via a newly finished lower level and could result in expensive repairs. He did a wonderful job of explaining our options. Totally satisfied with his assessment of the situation.

First class company in every way. Had an emergency where one of the pipes in my basement leaked out through my ceiling and ductwork. I was able to schedule a next day service over night on the phone with their after hour AI service. It was incredibly easy and got me scheduled for the next morning, In the morning a scheduler reached out to confirm my appointment and asked if they needed to work around any time restrictions I had that day, which service companies never do, its usually on their time or nothing at all. They worked around the time I needed and wished me a “Jolly Day,” which I loves. Then when the technician was scheduled, they sent me a text message with the technicians picture, name, and a some interests of his. The technician gave me a 30 minute heads up when he was on his way, which was great so I had time to crate my dogs. Tino was my technician and he was amazing. Friendly from the minute he walked in, he found my issue right away and had a game plan ready in minutes. Tino also discovered some issues with my water line and hot water heater. He was not pushy at all and said they’re working fine now but you may may want to look at replacing the hot water heater in a few months and look at a water softener sometime because our water was very hard. Instead of just having me take him at his word, he showed me the hard water build up in my pipe and hot water heater. We decided to go ahead and do the repair and then add on a new hot water heater and water softener too and have him do everything. A lot of companies would have scheduled to come back another day to do the water heater and softener because they had other customers to visit they day, and just fix the pipe that day, but Tino finished everything in one day! He called his warehouse and told them everything they needed, then someone brought it out to him so he never had to leave my house. Another technician finished a job early and then stopped by to help Tino out to get everything done for us a little faster. Jolly offered easy financing options to make the unexpected expense be easier to take on, and Tino explained to me about Jolly’s membership program, which is only $15 a month and pays for itself as it includes one free heating system inspection a year, one free a/c inspection a year, one free plumbing and sewage inspection a year, half off emergency visit fees, a 10% discount on repairs, and priority service, so I joined that too. A few days after the repair, they sent us a nice stainless steel cup and some fresh baked cookies welcoming us into the “Jolly Family”, and I thought that was an incredible touch on their end. I’d rank them a 20/10 and have told my friends and family about how there aren’t many companies around like Jolly anymore that truly put the customer first.

Nathan was knowledgeable and his explanations were super helpful and clear. He spotted issues in our A/C that explained a lot of what had been mystifying us for quite a while and had a solution.
