Water Heater Installation, Repair, and Maintenance in Kansas City
Over time, water heaters accumulate rust and sediment that reduce their ability to heat water. Eventually, an unmaintained water heater will operate inefficiently and potentially be damaged beyond repair. This is especially true if you have hard water in your home.
To prevent the premature failure of your water heater, consider traditional, tankless or hybrid water heaters for your Kansas City home.

Types of Water Heaters We Install
Typically, water heaters can be gas, electric, tankless, and even solar-powered.
Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater heats water on demand. That means no storage or shortage of hot water. Tankless hot water heaters take up significantly less room than traditional water heaters. They can be mounted on a wall or installed outdoors or indoors.
Tank Water Heater
Tank water heaters are the most common type of water heater. These units store a large volume of water in a tank and heat it continuously, ensuring that hot water is available whenever you need it. While they take up more space than tankless models, tank water heaters are a reliable and cost-effective option for families with higher hot water demands. Additionally, modern tank water heaters are designed to be more energy-efficient than older models, helping reduce energy costs without sacrificing performance.
Hybrid Water Heaters
Hybrid water heaters are a relatively new concept in the plumbing world however, our customers are absolutely loving them. Hybrid crossover water heaters combine electricity with gas and are considered to be the most energy efficient water heater on the market. Not only are they efficient, but they are also extremely affordable. They are Energy Star certified and combine the flow capacity of a 50-gallon tank with the continuous flow and functionality of a tankless. We are one of the only licensed plumbers to be installing HTP hybrid water heaters in the Kansas City Metro.
We are proud to install AO Smith and Bradford White water heaters.
Water Heater Repair
If you’re unable to get hot water, or if your water seems discolored, you may need to schedule a professional water heater repair. Discolored water may be caused by sediment build-up in your water heater. In these cases, the water heater tank needs to be drained and flushed. Some homeowners have the skills to do this themselves, but we always recommend hiring a professional plumber in case you run into an issue during the process.
Whether it's a problem with your water heater’s tank or another component, our expert plumbers are equipped to handle the repairs efficiently. Don't wait for a minor issue to turn into a major headache—call out team at Hamilton today to schedule your water heater repair and get your hot water back in no time!
Water Heater Maintenance
Whether the water heater is powered by gas, electricity, or solar power, it works hard every day to heat water for showers, laundry, dish washing, and more. To keep the water heater working properly for as long as possible, keep an eye on how quickly you get hot water in the home and conduct regular water heater maintenance.
Tank and tankless water heaters require regular maintenance to keep them working reliably.
If you start to notice inconsistent water temperature, you might just need a quick tune-up. Fortunately, our plumbing team is the best in Kansas City for water heater maintenance.
Water Heater Safety Tips
Keep your home and water heater safe by following the following safety tips:
-
Keep your water heater away from any combustibles.
-
If your water heater overheats or begins spewing steam, cut it off at the breaker box.
-
Never attempt to stop it at the tank, never attempt to add cool water to the tank and never try to cool it by spraying it with a hose.
-
If you smell gas, leave the house immediately and call the fire department.
-
If your water heater is in the garage, elevate it at least 18 inches off of the ground to protect it from fumes.
-
Even if the temperature and pressure valve look fine on the outside, have it inspected by a professional. The T & P Valve is an important safety feature but it has a service life of around 3 years.
