What this is
About RV Water Heater Repair & Replacement
This page is about the standard tank heater you already have. No hot water, water that never gets past lukewarm, or a tank that drips usually means a burner, element, valve or the tank itself needs attention.
We test how the heater is lit and powered, find the failed part, and either repair it or put in a matching tank replacement.
What the job covers
- Testing the gas burner and electric element separately
- Checking the thermostat, valves and anode
- Repairing the failed part when it makes sense
- Replacing the tank with a matching unit when it does not
What to expect on the visit
- 1We open the outside access door and look in
- 2Gas and electric modes are tested one at a time
- 3You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense
- 4We heat a full tank before leaving
How to prevent it
- Drain and flush the tank once a season
- Check the anode rod and replace it when worn
- Never turn on the element with an empty tank
- Bypass and drain the tank before winter
Signs you need this
- No hot water on gas, electric or both
- Water only gets lukewarm
- Drips or rust around the tank door
- Rotten egg smell from the hot side
Questions
About RV Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Should I repair or replace my tank heater?
We look first and tell you straight which makes more sense for your heater.
Why does my water work on gas but not electric?
That usually points to the element, a switch or the wiring. We test each one.
What is the anode rod for?
It takes the corrosion so the tank does not. A worn one should be swapped out.
Why does my hot water smell like eggs?
Bacteria in the tank can cause it. Flushing and the right anode usually help.
