Common water heater repairs include:
- No hot water or inconsistent hot water
- Water heater leaking from the tank or fittings
- Pilot light problems (gas units)
- Faulty thermostat or heating elements (electric units)
- Temperature issues or water too hot
- Rust-colored water

If your water heater is showing signs of failure, it is best to address it before it becomes an emergency.
Water Heater Replacement in Redding, CA
In many cases, replacing the water heater is the most cost-effective option, especially when the unit is older or the tank has internal corrosion.
We provide professional water heater replacement for residential homes in Redding, including removal of the old unit and installation of a new system.
Water heater replacement may be recommended if:
- Your water heater is 10+ years old
- The tank is leaking
- Repairs are becoming frequent
- Hot water supply is not meeting household demand
- You want improved energy efficiency
- Sediment buildup is reducing performance
A properly installed water heater improves comfort, reliability, and long-term safety.
Gas and Electric Water Heaters
We service both gas and electric water heaters. If you are unsure what type you have, we can identify the system and explain your options clearly.
Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters are common in many Shasta County homes and can provide strong recovery rates for busy households.
Electric Water Heaters
Electric systems are reliable and often cost-effective to install, depending on your home’s setup.
We help homeowners select the correct size and style based on usage, budget, and long-term value.
Signs Your Water Heater Is Failing
Some warning signs are easy to miss until the water heater stops working completely. If you notice any of the following, it may be time to call a plumber:
- Water pooling near the base of the unit
- Hot water runs out quickly
- Loud banging or popping noises
- Rust or corrosion on the tank
- Discolored water coming from faucets
- Fluctuating water temperature
- Pilot light repeatedly going out
Catching these problems early can prevent water damage and unexpected replacement costs.
Repair vs Replacement: Which Option Makes Sense?
A good rule of thumb is to consider replacement when the unit is older and repairs are becoming frequent. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually required.
Carlson’s Plumbing Systems will evaluate your system and provide an honest recommendation based on safety, performance, and long-term cost.
