When your shower turns cold halfway through or you run out of hot water before the dishes are done, your water heater is either failing or no longer sized correctly for your household. You notice the temperature fluctuates, water takes longer to heat, or you see puddles forming near the base of the tank. B&M Elite Plumbing LLC handles water heater installation and repair throughout Ferris, restoring consistent hot water and addressing the issues that cause equipment to fail early.

The service includes installation and repair of traditional water heaters for homes and businesses, along with flushing and cleaning to extend equipment life and efficiency.

Safe removal of old equipment and code-compliant installation are standard, and the team has experience with the systems commonly found in North Texas homes.

If your water heater is not performing the way it should, reach out to schedule a diagnostic visit in Ferris and discuss whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.

How Water Heater Service Restores Performance

During a water heater service call in Ferris, the technician inspects the unit for leaks, checks the temperature and pressure relief valve, tests the heating elements or burner, and examines the condition of the tank and connections. If sediment has built up inside the tank, flushing removes the mineral deposits that reduce heating efficiency and shorten the life of the equipment. If the thermostat is malfunctioning or the heating element has failed, those components are replaced to restore consistent temperature.

After the repair or installation is complete, you will notice hot water returns within the expected time frame, the temperature stays steady throughout use, and the system operates without strange noises or visible leaks. Your household can run multiple fixtures without running out of hot water prematurely, and the unit heats efficiently without cycling on and off constantly.

If replacement is required, the technician provides guidance on proper tank size based on the number of people in your home and your typical water usage. The old unit is removed safely, and the new water heater is installed to meet local codes and manufacturer specifications. Gas connections are tested for leaks, electrical connections are verified, and the system is filled and tested before the technician leaves.

Common Questions Before Scheduling Service

Homeowners often want to know whether their water heater can be repaired or if replacement is the only option, especially when the unit is more than a few years old. These questions address the most common concerns about water heater service and what to expect during the visit.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
If the tank is leaking, rusted through, or more than ten years old with recurring problems, replacement is usually the better option. If the issue is a faulty thermostat, heating element, or pressure valve, repair can restore function at a lower cost.
Why does my water heater make popping or rumbling noises?
Popping or rumbling sounds are caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, which traps water underneath and causes it to boil. Flushing the tank removes the sediment and stops the noise while improving heating efficiency.
How long does water heater installation take?
A standard water heater replacement in Ferris typically takes three to five hours, including removal of the old unit, installation of the new tank, connection of gas or electric lines, and testing. Complex installations or code upgrades may take longer.
What size water heater do I need for my home?
A household of one to two people usually needs a forty-gallon tank, while three to four people typically require fifty gallons. Larger families or homes with high hot water demand may need a seventy-five-gallon unit or a tankless system.
How often should I have my water heater flushed?
Flushing your water heater once a year helps remove sediment and prolongs the life of the tank, especially in areas with hard water. If you notice reduced hot water or strange noises, flushing should be done sooner.
