Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Solid Plumbing & Electrical provides water heater installation and replacement for homeowners in Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and nearby South Florida areas. We replace old, leaking, rusted, undersized, or failed electric tank water heaters with clean, practical installation and clear explanation before the work starts.
Short Service Explanation
Water heater installation and repair is needed when your home has no hot water, inconsistent hot water, leaks around the tank, rust, electrical issues, or an older unit that can no longer keep up with daily use. Many South Florida homes use electric tank water heaters, and problems can come from failed heating elements, bad thermostats, worn connections, corrosion, age, or improper installation.
We help homeowners repair serviceable water heaters and replace units that are leaking, badly rusted, unsafe, or no longer worth repairing.
Common Problems / Reasons
Homeowners usually call for water heater service when the tank is leaking, the water is not getting hot, the breaker keeps tripping, the hot water runs out too fast, or the unit is making unusual noises. Other common problems include rusty water, corroded fittings, damaged supply lines, failed heating elements, bad thermostats, old shutoff valves, poor drainage connections, and water heaters that were installed without proper clearance or service access.
What We Do / Service Details
We inspect the existing water heater, check the visible plumbing and electrical connections, and determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense. For repairs, we troubleshoot common electric water heater issues such as heating elements, thermostats, breakers, wiring connections, leaks, and valve problems. For replacement, we remove the old unit when needed, prepare the area, install the new water heater, connect the water lines, verify the electrical connection, test operation, check for leaks, and explain the work before leaving.

FAQ
How do I know if I need water heater replacement?
You may need water heater replacement if the tank is leaking, rusted, old, not producing enough hot water, making unusual noises, showing rusty water, or causing electrical issues such as a tripping breaker. If the unit is badly corroded or leaking from the tank itself, replacement is usually the practical option.
Do you install electric water heaters?
Yes. We provide electric water heater installation for residential tank-style water heaters. We check the existing plumbing connections, shutoff valve, and electrical connection when applicable before installing the new unit.
Can you replace my old water heater with the same size?
In many cases, yes. If the existing size worked well for the home and the space allows it, we can replace the old water heater with a similar-size unit. If the old unit was undersized or the household needs more hot water, we can explain the size options before installation.
Do you check for leaks after installation?
Yes. After water heater installation or replacement, we test the unit, check the water connections, inspect around the tank, and look for leaks before finishing the job.
