We Can Help Get the Hot Water Back

A water heater heats cold water and delivers it to your faucets, shower, dishwasher and washing machine, so you always have hot water when you need it. When it fails, you notice right away.

Crowebird repairs and replaces traditional tank water heaters, including anode rod service. We tell you plainly whether a repair makes sense or whether it is time for a new unit, and we quote a flat rate before we start.

Text Your Question
How long does a water heater last?

Many tank water heaters are near the end of their life at 10 to 12 years. A yearly flush and regular anode rod checks help extend it, but a unit that old with leaks, rusty water or noises is usually worth replacing.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If the unit is young and the problem is a single part, a repair often makes sense. If it is 10 to 12+ years old or the tank is leaking, replacement is usually the better value. Text us a photo of the label and we will give you an honest recommendation.

Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?

That smell usually comes from a reaction between the anode rod inside your water heater and bacteria in the water. Replacing the anode rod, sometimes with a different type, and flushing the tank typically solves it.

What size water heater do I need?

As a guide, 1 to 2 people usually do well with 30 to 40 gallons, 3 to 4 people with 40 to 50 gallons and 5 or more people with 50 to 80 gallons.

Do you install tankless water heaters?

Not at this time. We repair and replace traditional tank water heaters, including anode rod replacement.

How much does a water heater replacement cost?

We price at a flat rate, so you know the total before we start. Text a photo of your water heater and its label to 239-286-8946 and we will reply with next steps and a price.
