When Your Water Heater Stops Doing Its Job

When you turn on the faucet and nothing but cold water comes out, your morning is already off track. Whether your water heater is leaking from the bottom, making popping noises, or just not heating the way it used to, the problem needs attention. A failing water heater doesn’t just affect your comfort. It affects your energy bills, your plumbing, and in worst cases, your floors and walls if a tank ruptures.

We provide water heater repair, water heater installation, water heater replacement, and water heater maintenance for residential and commercial properties throughout Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, Wilton, and surrounding communities in Burleigh and Morton Counties. We service both traditional water heater and tankless water heater systems, including gas water heater repair, electric water heater repair, and full tankless conversion.

Water heating accounts for about 18% of your home’s energy use, making it the second largest energy expense behind heating and cooling. A water heater that’s failing or past its prime doesn’t just leave you without hot water. It’s also wasting energy and money every month.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention

No Hot Water at All

I have no hot water what do I do? Start by checking the pilot light (gas units) or breaker panel (electric units). If neither solves it, the issue is likely a failed heating element, thermocouple, or gas valve. This is the most common call we get, and we offer same-day no hot water repair.

Water Heater Leaking From Bottom

A water heater leaking from bottom usually means the tank has corroded internally. Once the tank itself is compromised, repair isn’t an option. This is a water heater replacement situation. Turn off the water supply and call us before the leak becomes a flood.

Water Heater Making Popping Noise

A water heater making popping noise or rumbling sounds is a sign of sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. The sediment traps water underneath, which boils and creates the noise. Flushing the tank can help, but if the noise persists, the tank may be nearing the end of its life.

Pilot Light Keeps Going Out

If your pilot light out situation keeps happening, the thermocouple may be worn or the gas valve may be faulty. A pilot light that won’t stay lit means no hot water until the issue is fixed. We repair pilot light assemblies and gas valves on all major brands.

Water Heater Smells Like Rotten Eggs

A water heater smells like rotten eggs when bacteria react with the anode rod inside the tank. This is more common in homes with well water or high sulfur content. We can replace the anode rod or recommend a water treatment solution to eliminate the smell.

Water Not Getting as Hot as It Used To

Lukewarm water often points to a failing heating element (electric units) or sediment buildup reducing efficiency. It can also mean your water heater is undersized for your household’s demand. We’ll diagnose the cause and let you know whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Water Heater Services We Provide

We install and repair traditional water heater systems in all common sizes, including 40 gallon water heater and 50 gallon water heater models. Traditional water heater installation includes removing your old unit, setting the new tank, connecting supply lines, and testing for proper operation. We service both gas and electric models. How long does it take to install water heater? Most traditional tank replacements are completed in 2 to 4 hours.

Want endless hot water and lower energy bills? We handle full tankless water heater installation, tankless water heater repair, and tankless conversion from traditional tank systems. We install both gas tankless and electric tankless models and size the unit based on your household’s hot water demand. Is tankless water heater worth it? For most homes, the energy savings and longer lifespan make it a smart investment.

When your tank is leaking, corroded, or past its useful life, water heater replacement is the right call. We’ll help you choose the right size and type for your home, remove the old unit, and install the new one the same day in most cases. Right now, we’re offering $200 off water heater replacement. Hot water heater cost ND varies by unit type and complexity, but we provide up-front pricing before any work begins.

Annual water heater maintenance extends the life of your unit and keeps it running efficiently. We flush the tank to remove sediment buildup, inspect the anode rod, check the pressure relief valve, and test the heating elements or burner assembly. Maintenance is the easiest way to avoid a no hot water emergency.

Water heater size what do I need? It depends on the number of people in your home and your peak hot water demand. A family of four typically needs a 50 gallon water heater or a tankless unit rated for 3 to 4 fixtures. We’ll help you choose the right size so you’re never stuck waiting for hot water.

Tank vs Tankless: Which Is Right for Your Home?

One of the most common questions we hear is: tank vs tankless water heater which is better? The honest answer is that it depends on your household, your budget, and your hot water habits. Here’s how they compare:

Lower upfront cost for purchase and installation
Stores 40 to 80 gallons of hot water ready to use
Typical lifespan of 10 to 15 years
Takes up more floor space (garage, basement, or utility closet)
Standby energy loss as the tank keeps water hot 24/7

Higher upfront cost, but lower monthly operating costs
Heats water on demand for endless hot water supply
Typical lifespan of 15 to 20+ years
Compact, wall-mounted design saves floor space
24% to 34% more energy efficient for homes using 41 gallons or less per day

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless water heaters can be 24% to 34% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters for homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily. For larger households, efficiency gains are still 8% to 14%. The tankless vs tank water heater pros cons come down to this: if you want lower monthly bills and a longer-lasting unit, tankless is the better long-term investment. If upfront cost is the priority, a traditional tank is still a solid choice. How much does it cost to switch to tankless? It depends on whether your home needs gas line or electrical upgrades, but we provide a full quote before any work starts.

Our Awesome Reviews

Alicia Wehri

If you’re looking for someone super professional, does the job right, and very timely, I’d highly recommend Premium Plumbing & Rooter. I had Joe out for the first time on a sewer-related emergency, resulting in the need to replace 10 feet of sewer line this past week, and I was highly impressed. The guy really does it all, and does it very well. Keep it up!

While a plumbing emergency is never fun, Premium Plumbing got here quick and did a great job dealing with the crisis. It was a pleasure to watch people that know their trade and I’ll definitely use them again if I have another plumbing issue. Reasonably priced too.

If I could give higher than five stars I would! Joe and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were able to fix decades worth of corrosion to the plumbing in our home. Their work was done with a level of artistry I’ve never experienced with a plumber before. Joe was able to give us more space in our laundry room by simplifying and correcting existing plumbing. Once the project was completed they thoroughly explained all that was done as well as how the work will aid future projects.  An added bonus, they cleaned up after themselves, were respectful of the property and were extremely conscientious of the pets.

Water Heater Questions

How long do water heaters last?

A traditional water heater typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters last 15 to 20 years or longer with proper maintenance. When should I replace my water heater? If your unit is over 10 years old and showing signs of corrosion, leaks, or inconsistent heating, it’s time to start planning.

How much does a water heater replacement cost?

Water heater replacement cost depends on the type (tank vs tankless), fuel source (gas vs electric), and any modifications needed. We provide a written, up-front quote after inspecting the job. Currently offering $200 off water heater replacement. Call (701) 805-9911 for details.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your unit is under 8 years old and the repair is straightforward (like a heating element or thermocouple), repair usually makes sense. If the tank is leaking, heavily corroded, or the unit is over 10 years old, replacement is typically the better investment.

Is a tankless water heater worth it?

For most homes, yes. You get endless hot water, lower energy bills, a longer lifespan, and a smaller footprint. The higher upfront cost is offset by 24% to 34% energy savings over the life of the unit. We’ll help you decide if a tankless conversion makes sense for your situation.

What size water heater do I need?

For a household of 1 to 2 people, a 40 gallon water heater is usually sufficient. Families of 3 to 5 typically need a 50 gallon water heater or a properly sized tankless unit. We’ll assess your peak hot water demand and recommend the right size during your free estimate.
