No one plans for a cold shower—or worse, a leaking tank—but when your water heater fails, it can cause major disruption to your day. Most units last between 10 and 15 years, but many homeowners don’t notice the warning signs until it’s too late. At Walker Heating & Air Conditioning, we specialize in fast, dependable water heater replacement to get your household back on track quickly. Our licensed technicians are trained to assess your current system and recommend the best replacement options based on your home, usage, and budget.
We understand that a new water heater is an investment, so we take the time to explain your choices clearly. Whether you need a high-efficiency upgrade or a simple tank replacement, we’ll size your new unit correctly and install it with precision. Our team handles everything from standard tank-style heaters to boilers and hydronic systems, always with your comfort and safety in mind. We even offer same-day or next-day replacements in many cases, so you’re never left without hot water when it matters most.
Not every water heater problem means it’s time for a replacement. If your system still has some life left, we’ll do our best to keep it running. Our technicians always start with a detailed inspection of your water heater’s age, condition, and performance. If a repair makes sense, we’ll fix the issue on the spot. If not, we’ll guide you through your replacement options—no pressure, no upsells, just honest recommendations based on what’s best for your home.
Walker Heating & Air Conditioning services and installs all major types of water heaters, including gas and electric tanks, high-efficiency models, boilers, and systems that support baseboard heat or hydronic air handlers. We’ll help you understand the cost range based on size, energy type, and installation needs—typically from $1,800 to $3,500 for traditional residential models. Whatever you choose, you’ll get a professionally installed system that’s built to last and backed by our trusted local service.
Most water heaters show signs of wear long before they break down completely. If you’re hearing strange popping noises, noticing rust-colored water, or detecting a musty odor near your tank, it could be time for a closer look. Leaks and inconsistent temperatures are also red flags that shouldn’t be ignored. Catching these issues early can help you avoid surprise failures and expensive water damage—especially during cold winter months when your system works hardest.
Regular maintenance goes a long way in preventing these problems. In Woodbridge and surrounding areas, we recommend flushing your tank every 2 to 3 years to reduce sediment buildup and extend your unit’s lifespan. Still, even with proper care, every water heater will eventually reach the end of its service life. When that time comes, Walker Heating & Air Conditioning is ready with expert guidance and prompt service. Don’t wait for an emergency—give us a call if you’re seeing any signs of trouble.
