Reliable Hot Water When You Need It

Water Heater Installation and Repair in New Braunfels and surrounding areas

When your water heater stops producing hot water or begins leaking onto the floor of your New Braunfels home, it affects everything from morning showers to laundry and dishes. Plumb - New Braunfels LLC installs and repairs both tank and tankless water heaters throughout New Braunfels, working with gas and electric systems to restore reliable hot water as quickly as possible.

We troubleshoot issues like inconsistent water temperature, low pressure, strange noises, and complete failure. Repairs may involve replacing a faulty thermostat, heating element, pressure relief valve, or gas control valve. When a unit cannot be repaired, we help you choose a replacement that matches your household size, fuel type, and budget, then install it to code and test it before we leave.

What Happens During Installation or Repair

For repairs, we test your water heater's components, check for leaks, measure temperature and pressure, and inspect the venting system if you have a gas unit in your New Braunfels home. For installations, we disconnect and remove your old heater, position the new unit, connect water lines and gas or electrical supply, and install a new pressure relief valve and drain pan.

After installation, you will have consistent hot water at the temperature you set, your showers will last longer without running cold, and your energy bill may drop if you upgraded to a more efficient model. The unit will heat quietly without banging or hissing sounds.

Tankless systems require proper venting and sometimes upgraded gas lines to support their higher BTU demand. We handle all code requirements, permits, and inspections. If your home's electrical panel or gas line cannot support the unit you want, we will explain what upgrades are needed before moving forward. Water heaters typically last eight to twelve years for tank models and up to twenty years for tankless units with regular maintenance.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Homeowners in New Braunfels often ask us whether to repair or replace, how to choose between tank and tankless, and what size unit they need.

How do I know if I should repair or replace my water heater?
If your unit is over ten years old, leaking from the tank, or requires a major component replacement, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Younger units with minor issues like a faulty thermostat or element are worth repairing.
What is the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?
Tank heaters store hot water and cost less upfront but run out during heavy use. Tankless heaters heat water on demand, never run out, and use less energy, but cost more to install and may require electrical or gas line upgrades.
What size water heater do I need for my home?
Tank size depends on the number of people in your household. A 40- to 50-gallon tank works for most New Braunfels homes with two to four people. Tankless units are sized by flow rate and temperature rise.
How long does a water heater installation take?
Most tank installations take three to four hours. Tankless installations can take a full day, especially if we need to upgrade venting, gas lines, or electrical service.
Do you install energy-efficient water heaters?
Yes, we install high-efficiency tank models and tankless units that qualify for utility rebates. We can help you compare long-term operating costs and upfront investment.
