Water Heater Repair & Installation
No hot water is a problem you notice fast. Whether your water heater is leaking, rumbling, tripping the breaker, or just done after 12 faithful years, Tannor repairs what's repairable and replaces what isn't — honestly, and to Oregon code.
Replacements include removal and haul-away of the old unit, a properly sized new tank, code-required seismic strapping, expansion tank where needed, and a clean install that passes inspection. You get one licensed plumber start to finish, not a sales crew.

Questions
Frequently Asked
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Honest rule of thumb: if the tank itself is leaking, replacement is the only real fix. If it's a component — element, thermostat, valve — and the tank is under 10 years old, repair usually makes sense. Tannor will tell you which straight, with a price for each.
How long does a water heater replacement take?
Most standard replacements are done in half a day, including haul-away of the old unit. Call in the morning and there's a good chance you'll shower hot that night.
