The thing with plumbing is of course you are dealing with water. The longer the problem goes on, the bigger (and more expensive) the initial issue is going to be. One of the frequent calls we get is the hot water is no longer working or is spotty at best. This often comes to us with a hint of panic over the phone. Many a homeowner envisions lots of money flying out of their lives in order to replace a water heater. And sometimes we’re sorry to say yes that might be the case, but more often than not it’s a piece within the hot water heater that has gone awry and is easily replaced – that piece is known as a hot water mixing valve. Sometimes all is needed is a simple hot water heater repair!

Tankless water heaters are growing in popularity as they are more energy-efficient, reliable, and longer-lasting than their hot water tank counterparts.
It’s important to note that their initial investment will cost more, but they should save you a lot of money by the end of their life.
Tankless hot water heaters will last you twice as long as a traditional hot water heater – it is literally the difference of 10 years – that’s worth it right there!
Tankless water heaters should last over 20 years. However, if you find that your hot water isn’t hot, your on-demand hot water unit may require some TLC.
If that’s the case, we’re ready and available!
When you need a tankless water heater repair in Oakville, we’re the company to call!
If you have shut off your shower yet there is still hot water dripping from it, most likely this has to be your hot water mixing valve. What has most likely occurred is for whatever reason the ball in the valve has moved out of place and as a result warm water is able to pass through even though you think you’ve shut it off. This is something you replace not repair; it’s not that expensive and you’ll spend money over and over if you keep repairing it (breaks once, it will continue to do do!)
If your cold water is running strong but there is no hint of hot water know this has zero to do with your water supply and everything to do with your hot water mixing valve. Could need to be replaced, maybe it just needs a repair but trust us, that’s what is wrong.
If you are in an older home with an older hot water heater, this might be your situation. When their hot water mixing valves break, they show this by not being able to regulate their water temperature. As a result, hot water turns on sporadically as opposed to every time you try and get some. If this sounds like you call a professional to have a peek!
