Water Heater Repair & Installation in Hollywood, FL

A reliable hot water supply is essential for everything from morning showers to sanitizing dishes and doing laundry. When your water heater begins to fail—whether it’s producing lukewarm water, making strange noises, or leaking—it disrupts your entire routine.

At Taft Plumbing Services, we provide expert repair, maintenance, and installation for all types of water heating systems. Our Hollywood-based team helps you choose the most energy-efficient options for your home or business, ensuring you have the hot water you need while keeping your utility bills in check.

Our Water Heater Services

We specialize in both traditional tanks and modern high-efficiency systems:

  • Traditional Tank Water Heaters: Expert repair and installation of standard electric and gas-powered tanks in various sizes to fit your household needs.

  • Tankless Water Heater Installation: Upgrade to an “on-demand” system that provides endless hot water while taking up significantly less space and using less energy.

  • Emergency Leak Repairs: Fast response for leaking tanks to prevent flooding and structural water damage.

  • Heating Element & Thermostat Replacement: Restoring consistent temperatures by replacing worn-out electrical components.

  • Sediment Flushing & Maintenance: Removing mineral buildup to improve heating efficiency and extend the lifespan of your unit.

  • Anode Rod Replacement: A critical maintenance service that prevents your tank from rusting from the inside out.


Is It Time to Repair or Replace?

Consider a professional inspection if you notice any of the following:

  • Fluctuating Temperatures: Your water goes from hot to cold unexpectedly or never reaches the desired temperature.

  • Discolored or Rusty Water: A sign of internal tank corrosion or a failing anode rod.

  • Popping or Rumbling Noises: This usually indicates heavy sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which can lead to overheating and tank failure.

  • Visible Leaking or Moisture: Any standing water around the base of your heater is a serious sign that the tank may be nearing the end of its life.

  • Age (10+ Years): Most traditional tanks last 8–12 years. If yours is in this range, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade to a high-efficiency model before it fails.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a tankless water heater?
Tankless units only heat water when you turn on a faucet, meaning they don’t waste energy keeping a large tank hot 24/7. They provide a continuous supply of hot water and typically last twice as long as traditional tanks.

How often should I flush my water heater?
In Hollywood, FL, we recommend flushing your tank once a year. Our local water contains minerals that can settle at the bottom of your tank, reducing efficiency and eventually causing the tank to crack.

Can you repair a leaking water heater tank?
If the leak is coming from a valve or a pipe connection, we can usually fix it. However, if the tank itself is leaking due to corrosion, the unit must be replaced to avoid a catastrophic flood.
