Water Heater Not Working? We Can Help

Common issues include lukewarm water, temperature swings, pilot lights that won’t stay lit, leaking tanks, or rusty/smelly hot water. We often restore performance with parts replacement or flushing. If the tank is failed or undersized, we recommend a right-sized, efficient replacement.

Repairs, Replacements & Upgrades

From standard storage tanks to high-efficiency tankless systems, Franco Belli installs leading brands, adds mixing valves or expansion tanks as needed, and verifies venting and gas supply. For multi-unit buildings, we also service commercial hot water systems.

  • Can you install a heater I purchased?

    Yes, if it meets NYC code and is correctly sized and vented for the space.

  • How long does replacement take?

    Many same-day; complex venting or gas upgrades may extend timelines, but we’ll outline steps upfront.

  • Do I need a permit for a water heater?

    Gas units and many electric installs require permits. We handle filings and inspections.

  • Tank vs. tankless—what’s right for me?

    Depends on demand (occupants/fixtures), space, and fuel. We’ll size and recommend options.

  • Will a new heater lower bills?

    High-efficiency or right-sized models can cut energy use; we’ll discuss savings and payback.
