Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Waco, Texas
Cold showers are no way to live. Winnies repairs and replaces tank and tankless water heaters, gas and electric, for homes and businesses across Waco and Central Texas.
Is your water heater trying to tell you something?
No hot water, or it runs out fast
Often a failing heating element, thermostat, gas valve, or sediment taking up room in the tank.
Rusty or discolored water
Brown or reddish hot water can mean the inside of the tank is corroding.
Rumbling or popping noises
Sediment buildup on the bottom of the tank, which is common with Central Texas hard water.
Water pooling around the base
A leak at a fitting or valve can be fixed. A leak from the tank itself usually means replacement.
Pilot light or breaker trouble
A pilot that won't stay lit or a breaker that keeps tripping needs a professional look.
It's getting up in years
Tank water heaters don't last forever. If yours is past the ten-year mark, it's worth a checkup.
Repair when it makes sense. Replace when it's time.

Water heater FAQs
Don't see your question? Call us at (254) 391-6140. We're happy to help.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the unit's age, what failed, and the condition of the tank. A bad thermostat, element, or valve can usually be repaired. A leaking tank almost always means replacement. Either way, we'll give you an honest recommendation.
How long does a water heater last?
A traditional tank water heater typically lasts about 8 to 12 years. Tankless units often last longer with regular maintenance. Hard water can shorten the life of either one.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
Tankless units give you endless hot water and free up space, but they cost more up front and sometimes need gas line or electrical upgrades. We'll help you decide if one makes sense for your home.
My water heater is leaking. What should I do right now?
Turn off the power first: flip the breaker for an electric unit, or set the gas valve to off for a gas unit. Then close the cold water supply valve at the top of the tank and give us a call.
