It depends on household size, available fuel (gas or electric), space, and budget. We commonly install standard tanks for straightforward replacements, tankless units for endless hot water and space savings, and Voltex hybrid heat pumps for high electric efficiency. We help you compare options during the visit.

Yes. We install and service A. O. Smith Voltex hybrid electric heat pump water heaters, including placement, condensate handling, and routine maintenance, throughout the Triangle.

Sediment settles in every tank, and harder water, which is common on wells, speeds up scale buildup that can reduce efficiency and shorten tank life. Town water in Apex, Cary, and Raleigh is soft, so buildup is slower there. A. O. Smith builds in features to help, and we recommend periodic tank flushing and tankless descaling to keep your unit running well.

It depends on the age of the unit and what failed. Parts like thermostats, heating elements, igniters, and valves are usually worth repairing. A leaking tank can't be repaired and needs to be replaced. We'll look at the unit and tell you which makes sense.
