Types of Hot Water Heaters We Service in Stratford

Gas Water Heaters in Stratford, CT

Gas water heaters are the most common type in Connecticut homes. They heat water using a gas burner at the bottom of the tank and can usually recover hot water faster than electric models. If your gas water heater isn't producing hot water, is making popping or rumbling noises, or you notice rust-colored water, it's time to call us. Common issues include a bad thermocouple, sediment buildup, or a failing pilot light. Our technicians are experienced with all major brands and models.

Electric Water Heaters in Stratford, CT

Electric water heaters use heating elements inside the tank to warm the water. They tend to be easier to install and don't require gas lines or venting, which makes them a good option for homes without natural gas. If your electric water heater is tripping the breaker, taking too long to heat up, or not producing hot water at all, it's likely a bad heating element or thermostat. We can test and replace these on the spot in most cases.

Tankless Water Heaters in Stratford, CT

Tankless systems heat water on demand instead of storing it in a tank. They take up less space, last longer, and can cut your energy bill since they only run when you turn on the hot water. The tradeoff is a higher upfront cost and the need for proper sizing to match your home's demand. RAPS installs and services all major tankless brands. Whether you're looking to switch from a tank system or need a repair on your existing tankless unit, we've got you covered.

When Should You Replace Your Water Heater?

Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Tankless units can go 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is in that range and you're calling for repairs more than once a year, replacement is usually the smarter move. We'll give you an honest recommendation and walk you through your options so you can make the right call for your home and your budget.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention

• Water isn't getting as hot as it used to
• You're running out of hot water faster than normal
• Rust-colored or discolored hot water
• Popping, rumbling, or banging noises from the tank
• Water pooling around the base of the unit
• Higher than usual energy bills

If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait. A small problem with your water heater can turn into a big mess quickly, especially if the tank starts leaking.
