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.
