No hot water is the call we take most. Pace repairs and replaces gas and electric water heaters across Houston, and because we run a plumbing supply counter as well as a service truck, the part your heater needs is often already sitting on our shelf. That is the difference between a repair today and a repair next week.
Repair or replace, answered straight
If the tank itself is leaking, replace it. Corrosion has eaten through the steel and no part reseals a rusted tank. If the tank is dry and the failure is a thermostat, an element, a valve or a thermocouple, repair is usually the better money. A heater in good condition is worth fixing. One that is old, rusted and failing is worth replacing before it puts forty or fifty gallons on your floor.
The supply counter is part of the service
Pace has run a plumbing supply store on McGowen Street for decades alongside the service side. Water heaters, fittings, valves and repair parts are stocked in the building. If you are a homeowner who wants the part rather than the appointment, come to the counter Monday through Saturday, 8 to 5, and talk to somebody who has been doing this a long time.
Call us when you notice
- No hot water, or hot water that runs out much faster than it used to
- Water pooling under or around the tank
- Rusty or discolored hot water at the tap
