Water Heater Repair & Replacement across Greater Orlando
Hard water is common in the Orlando area and can contribute to sediment buildup in tank water heaters, which is why flushing and timely replacement come up often.
Signs of a water heater problem
- No hot water, or it runs out quickly
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Rumbling or popping sounds from the tank
- Water pooling around the base
- Pilot light or ignition problems on gas units
Options to discuss
- Standard tank (electric or gas)
- Tankless (on-demand) water heaters
- Heat pump (hybrid) water heaters
- Right-sizing for your household
- Code items like expansion tanks, drain pans and discharge piping
If the tank is leaking, turn off the cold water supply to the heater and shut off power (or set a gas unit to off/pilot) until a plumber arrives. Water heater replacement often requires a permit, so ask your plumber how they handle it.

Do your homework
How to Check Your Contractor
Orlando Home Pros connects homeowners with independent providers. We do not perform the work or screen providers for you, so a few minutes of research before hiring is worth it.
Look up the state license
Search the business or license number on the Florida DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com and make sure the status is current. Your city or county may have its own requirements too.
Request proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption), and check the dates.
Research reputation
Review the company's Better Business Bureau profile and read reviews across more than one independent website. Ask for a few recent local references.
Put it in writing
Collect written estimates and sign a written contract that spells out the scope, materials, total price, schedule and any warranty.
Keep deposits reasonable
Be cautious about paying a large amount before work begins. Link payments to finished milestones and keep receipts.
Confirm permits
Check with Orange, Seminole or Osceola County, or your city's building department, whether a permit is required, and make sure inspections are passed.
