Patch Plumbing repairs and replaces gas and electric tank water heaters and tankless water heaters (including Rheem and Rinnai) for homes in DeLand, Deltona, Orange City and the rest of Volusia County. We diagnose the problem for a flat $99 during business hours, give you a firm price for repair or replacement before any work starts, and waive the $99 when you approve the job. Most standard tank replacements are finished the same day.

Signs your water heater needs attention

  • Water pooling around the base of the tank or dripping from the relief valve
  • Hot water runs out faster than it used to
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • Popping, rumbling or banging noises from the tank
  • The tank is 10 years old or more
  • Pilot light won't stay lit, or the breaker for an electric unit keeps tripping

Repair or replace? We'll tell you straight

Not every water heater problem means a new tank. A bad element, thermostat, thermocouple or valve is often a quick repair. But if the tank itself is leaking, it can't be patched, and once a heater passes about 10 years, putting money into it rarely makes sense. We'll walk you through both options and the cost of each, then you decide.

Tank and tankless installs

We install standard gas and electric tank water heaters as well as tankless units. Every install is brought up to current code, including the expansion tank, relief valve discharge and shutoffs, so you aren't left with a heater that fails inspection or wears out early. Thinking about going tankless? Read our tank vs. tankless guide for Florida homes first.

Water heaters on a budget

A new water heater isn't something you plan for. Financing is available for qualified customers, with water heater installs for less than $100 a month. See pricing and financing for how it works.

FAQ

Water Heaters FAQs

Still have a question? Call (386) 235-6123 and talk to a real person.

How much does a new water heater cost?

It depends on the type (gas, electric or tankless), the size, and what's needed to bring the install up to code. We give you a firm price after the $99 diagnostic, before any work starts, and the diagnostic is waived when you approve the job. Financing is available, with water heater installs for less than $100 a month for qualified customers.

How long does a water heater last in Florida?

Most tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years. Tankless units can last 20 years with regular flushing. Not sure how old yours is? Our guide on how to tell how old your water heater is shows where to look.

Can you replace my water heater the same day?

In most cases, yes. We carry common tank sizes, so a standard replacement is usually done the same day we diagnose it. Tankless installs and unusual sizes may take an extra day to get the unit.

My water heater is leaking. What should I do right now?

Turn off the cold water supply valve on top of the tank, then turn off the power (electric) or set the gas valve to pilot or off. Then call us at (386) 235-6123. If water is spreading, shut off the main water valve to the house.

Do you work on tankless water heaters?

Yes. We install, repair and descale tankless water heaters, including Rinnai units.
