Hot Water When You Actually Need It

Professional water heater installation and repair services in Kennesaw, Georgia and the surrounding cities

When you turn on the tap in your Kennesaw or nearby city home and nothing but cold or lukewarm water flows out, every shower and dish load becomes an inconvenience. You may notice the water takes longer to heat, runs out quickly during peak times, or never reaches the temperature it used to. Whether your water heater is making rumbling noises, leaking near the base, or simply past its useful life, reliable hot water stops being something you take for granted.

The Neighborly Plumber installs and repairs both traditional tank-style and tankless water heaters throughout Kennesaw and surrounding areas. We work with trusted brands including Navien tankless systems and Rheem standard water heaters. If your unit is showing temperature inconsistencies, producing discolored water, or failing to keep up with household demand, we assess whether a repair will restore full function or if a replacement makes more sense. Tankless installations provide continuous hot water and occupy less space, while traditional tanks offer lower upfront costs and straightforward operation.

If your water heater is struggling or you are evaluating a replacement in Kennesaw or neighboring area, contact us to discuss your options.

How We Restore or Replace Your Unit

When you schedule service in Kennesaw, we begin by inspecting your current water heater to identify the source of the problem. We check the thermostat settings, heating elements or burners, pressure relief valve, and surrounding connections. For repairs, we replace faulty components such as thermostats, elements, or anode rods that protect the tank from corrosion. For installations, we remove the old unit, verify that gas lines or electrical circuits meet code, and connect the new heater to your existing plumbing.

Once the work is complete, you will notice consistent water temperature from the first tap you open, and your showers will no longer go cold halfway through. Tankless units heat water on demand, so you will not run out even during high usage periods. Traditional tanks recover more slowly but provide a steady reserve if sized correctly for your household.

We also verify that the unit is draining properly, the venting is secure, and all safety devices are functioning. We test the system under load before leaving to make sure everything operates as expected. Our work is based on manufacturer guidelines and local building requirements, and we explain what has been done so you understand how your system functions moving forward.

Questions homeowners ask before booking service

These are the most common concerns we hear from homeowners trying to figure out whether their water heater can be repaired or needs to be replaced entirely.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
If your unit is less than ten years old and the issue is a faulty thermostat, element, or valve, repair is usually the right choice. If the tank is leaking from the base, the unit is over twelve years old, or repairs are becoming frequent, replacement makes more sense.
What is the difference between a tankless water heater and a traditional one?
A tankless heater heats water only when you open a tap, providing continuous hot water without a storage tank. A traditional tank heater stores a set volume of hot water and reheats it as you use it, which means you can run out during heavy demand.
How long does a water heater installation take?

Most installations in Kennesaw and surrounding areas take between three and five hours depending on whether we are replacing a tank with another tank, switching to tankless, or upgrading gas or electrical connections. We complete the work in one visit whenever possible.

Why is my water heater making loud popping or rumbling sounds?
Sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank over time and creates noise when the burner or element heats the water underneath it. Flushing the tank can reduce the sound, but if buildup is severe or the tank is old, replacement may be necessary.
Will a tankless water heater work for my whole house?
It depends on your household size and simultaneous hot water use. We size tankless units based on how many fixtures you run at the same time and the flow rate needed to keep up with demand across bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry.
