Dependable Water Heater Services for Shenandoah Valley Homes

Hot water is one of those things you don’t think about—until it’s gone. Then every part of your day slows down: cold showers, dishes that won’t rinse properly, laundry cycles that never finish the way they should.

At Fixed HVAC & Plumbing, we provide dependable water heater services that restore comfort quickly and without added stress. Our experienced technicians work with tank-style systems across the Shenandoah Valley, focusing on safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability. Backed by our full-service plumbing team, we handle every part of the process—from replacement to connection—and make sure your home has the steady hot water it needs, day in and day out.

Signs Your Water Heater May Need Service or Replacement

Tank-style water heaters work hard behind the scenes—but when performance starts to slip, those problems show up quickly. Spotting the signs early can prevent full system failure and extend the life of your plumbing.

Water Isn’t Getting Hot Enough

Inconsistent or lukewarm water can point to a failing heating element, buildup in the tank, or thermostat malfunction. These issues typically worsen over time, and quick attention makes a big difference.

You Hear Popping or Rumbling Sounds

Unusual noises during heating cycles often signal sediment buildup inside the tank. This reduces efficiency and can lead to overheating or internal damage if not flushed out.

Discolored Water or Metallic Odors

Rusty-colored water or strange smells are usually signs of corrosion inside the tank or problems with the anode rod. These conditions affect both water quality and appliance health.

Leaks or Rust Near the Tank

Moisture pooling at the base of the unit or visible corrosion around fittings often points to structural tank failure. These systems should be replaced immediately to avoid water damage or safety hazards.

What Our Water Heater Services Include

Fixed HVAC & Plumbing delivers tank-style water heater services built for comfort, performance, and peace of mind. Each installation, replacement, and service call is handled by licensed technicians who prioritize long-term value and efficient operation.

New Installations and System Sizing

We install electric and gas tank water heaters tailored to your home’s size, usage, and energy goals. Every installation is thoughtfully sized, fully code-compliant, and designed for consistent daily performance.

Water Heater Replacement Services

Aging tanks, visible rust, or leaks around the base are signs it’s time for a replacement. Our team removes the old system cleanly and installs a new, high-efficiency model with full plumbing repair support for any required pipe or valve adjustments.

Annual Tank Flushing and Maintenance

Sediment that settles at the bottom of the tank over time can reduce efficiency and damage internal components. Our annual maintenance service flushes the tank, helping preserve energy savings and system longevity.

No-Hot-Water Diagnostics and Fast Repairs

When hot water stops unexpectedly, we respond quickly with the right tools and stocked parts. We diagnose heating element failures, thermostat issues, and internal tank wear—then restore operation without unnecessary delays.

Water Quality System Integration

Hard water, mineral buildup, or corrosive conditions can shorten the life of your tank. We install water quality treatment systems that protect your heater and improve your home’s overall water performance.

Solutions Mechanical has done all my HVAC and plumbing work for years and they always do a good job. My house has unfortunately needed two new furnaces and AC units in the past 3 years, but Solutions Mechanical did a great job replacing (and now maintaining) them both.
