Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Cold showers, a leaking tank or a pilot that won't stay lit? We repair and replace tank water heaters across the Murrieta Valley — often the same day you call.
Signs your water heater needs attention
- No hot water, or hot water that runs out much faster than it used to
- Water pooling around the base of the tank or a dripping relief valve
- Rusty or discolored hot water, or a rotten-egg smell
- Popping, rumbling or banging sounds while the burner runs
- A pilot light that won't stay lit, or a tank that is 10 or more years old
Repair or replace? We'll tell you straight
A lot of water heater problems — a bad thermocouple, gas control valve, heating element, thermostat or relief valve — can be fixed for far less than a new tank. When the tank itself is leaking, it can't be repaired and needs to be replaced. Our plumber will show you what's wrong and give you a free, written estimate for both options when both make sense, so you can choose.
Water heater replacement done to code
Every replacement includes hauling away the old tank and installing the new one to current California code, including seismic strapping, a properly piped temperature and pressure relief valve, correct venting for gas units, and an expansion tank where required. We carry common sizes so many replacements can be finished the same day.
Hard water is tough on tanks
Southern California water is hard, and the minerals settle as sediment in the bottom of the tank. That sediment makes the burner work harder, causes the rumbling noise, and shortens the life of the heater. Flushing the tank periodically helps it last longer — ask us about a flush when we're out.
Hot water recirculation pumps
Tired of running the shower for a minute or two before the water gets hot? A recirculation pump keeps hot water close to your fixtures so it arrives in seconds, saving water while you wait. We install recirculation pumps on tank and tankless water heaters, with timer or on-demand controls.

What customers say
Mike was very knowledgeable and quoted 2 prices in case we needed to do both to our hot water heater. Once he completed the work the charge was the lower of the two costs. He didn't up charge even though he could have.
MVP installed a new water heater and a relay at my house. Awesome job.
He came out on short notice on the weekend to help us with a plumbing problem and proved to be quick, friendly, up front and honest. … We will definitely be using him as our go-to plumber.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a water heater last?
Most tank water heaters last about 8–12 years. Hard water, sediment and skipped maintenance can shorten that. If yours is past 10 years and acting up, replacement usually makes more sense than a major repair.
Can you replace my water heater the same day?
In many cases, yes. We stock common sizes and fuel types. Call early and we'll do our best to restore your hot water the same day.
Do you work on gas and electric water heaters?
Yes. We repair and replace both gas and electric tank water heaters, and we also service tankless units.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. We'll look at the problem and give you a free written estimate before any work begins.
