HOT WATER
TANK AND TANKLESS

Boro Mechanical repairs and replaces water heaters across Lancaster County. We install Navien tankless units and Bradford White and Rheem tank systems, and we service other major brands regardless of who put them in.

Water heaters tend to be ignored until they stop, and then they become urgent very quickly. Running out of hot water halfway through a shower, rust in the hot tap, popping or rumbling from the tank and moisture around the base are all worth a call before the tank itself gives way.

  • Navien, Bradford White and Rheem: the lines we install, with service on other major brands
  • Gas and electric: both fuel types, tank and tankless, residential and light commercial
  • Venting and gas supply verified: critical on tankless, and the most common reason a swap underperforms
  • Repair before replace: a leak at a fitting is not the same as a failed tank, and we tell you which you have

No Hot Water, or Water on the Floor?

Shut off the water supply and the gas or electric supply to the unit, then call us. Water heater failures get priority scheduling, with same-day service during business hours whenever our schedule allows.

Which Water Heater Service Do You Need?

  • No hot water at all? Start with water heater repair. On a gas unit, check whether the pilot or burner is lit before you call, since that tells us a lot.
  • Running out sooner than it used to? Usually sediment, a failed dip tube or a weak element. It is a repair call, and often a cheap one.
  • Tank over 10 years old? Plan water heater installation on your schedule rather than on the day the tank splits.
  • Thinking about going tankless? Ask us about Navien. The deciding factors are usually gas supply, venting route and how much simultaneous demand your household puts on it.
  • Replacing the heating system at the same time? See our furnace and boiler pages, since combining the work often saves a visit.

Tank or tankless? The right answer depends on your gas line, your venting and how your household actually uses hot water. Tell us about all three and we will give you a straight recommendation.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention

Water heaters give warning before they fail, but the signals are easy to write off. If you are seeing any of these, it is worth a look now rather than after the tank lets go.

  • Rumbling or popping: sediment on the bottom of the tank boiling under the burner
  • Rusty or cloudy hot water: corrosion inside the tank or a spent anode rod
  • Moisture around the base: could be a fitting, could be the tank, and the difference matters
  • Shorter hot showers: capacity dropping off well before the unit stops entirely

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WATER HEATER SERVICE
IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PA

We install Navien tankless units along with Bradford White and Rheem tank water heaters, and our technicians repair and service other major brands as well. Whether the unit came from us or from a previous contractor, we can work on it.
A tank unit stores hot water and is the simpler, more familiar swap. A tankless unit heats water only as you draw it, takes up far less space and does not run out during back-to-back showers, but it needs the right gas supply and venting to perform properly. We look at your household's demand and your existing gas and venting before recommending either.
A conventional tank water heater typically gives you somewhere between 8 and 12 years, and a well-maintained tankless unit generally lasts longer. Hard water shortens both. Once a tank is past 10 years, planning the replacement beats waiting for it to fail and flood the area around it.
On a tank unit, the usual causes are sediment buildup taking up space at the bottom of the tank, a failed dip tube, or a heating element or burner that is no longer working at full output. On a tankless unit, reduced hot water usually points to scale in the heat exchanger or a flow sensor problem.
Shut off the water supply to the unit, turn off its gas or electric supply, and call us. Water coming from the tank body itself means the tank has failed and needs replacement, but a leak at a fitting, valve or connection is often a straightforward repair, so it is worth having it looked at before assuming the worst.
