Services · Water heaters

Water heater work is a Primo specialty.

New units, replacements, repairs, and descaling — tank and tankless, all brands. Done to code, strapped, vented, and cleaned up before the truck leaves.

What's included

Tank or tankless — one call covers it.

New water heaters

Sizing, code updates, haul-away of the old unit, and a clean install — the way it's been done here since 1993.

Replacement & repair

No hot water, rusty water, or a unit that's started rumbling? A repair visit first — replacement only when the math says so.

Tankless service

Installation, repair, and descaling for tankless units — the maintenance that keeps them running for decades.

All brands

Whatever's in your garage or on your wall, Primo works on it.

Good to know

The questions Primo gets asked most.

How long should a water heater last?

Most tank water heaters serve 8–12 years; tankless units often last considerably longer with regular descaling. If yours is inside that range and acting up, it's worth a repair visit before assuming replacement.

Tank or tankless — which one fits?

Tank units cost less up front and keep hot water stored and ready. Tankless units cost more to install, last longer, and never run out. Primo installs and services both — a quick call usually sorts out which fits your house and budget.

What are the warning signs?

Rusty water, rumbling or popping sounds, water around the base, or hot water that runs out fast. Any of those, it's time to call — before it fails on a Tuesday morning.
