Water Heater Repair, Install, and Replace in Addison, TX
Cowtown Water Heaters handles water heater installations, repairs, and replacements throughout Addison, TX (serving the 75001 area, including Addison Circle, Vitruvian Park, and neighborhoods along Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road). As a locally owned company that isn’t controlled by private equity, we’ve been fixing units for years. Some examples of our jobs are replacing corroded tanks before garage flooding and swapping out dying systems for energy-efficient models. As you know, most Addison homes have either a tank or a tankless water heater, and we handle both.
An example of a local replacement would be replacing a 12-year-old electric unit in a ranch home after the homeowners noticed rust-colored water coming from the hot side. Tanks start leaking into the drip pan. We drain it, disconnect the electrical, haul out the old 50-gallon tank, and install a new one the same day. Sometimes it’s a quick fix like replacing a heating element. Other times the whole unit needs to go.
Common Water Heater Problems We Address
You’ll know something’s wrong when you see or hear these signs:
- ★ No hot water or water that only gets lukewarm
- ★ Popping or banging sounds from the tank
- ★ Water pooling around the base of the unit
- ★ Pilot light that won’t stay on (gas models)
- ★ Rusty or discolored hot water
- ★ Higher than normal energy bills with no explanation
We run into sediment buildup pretty often in North Texas homes, especially with the hard water common to this area. Mineral deposits settle at the bottom of the tank, making the heater work harder and causing those popping sounds. Flushing the tank helps, but if it’s been ignored for years, you might need a new unit. Given Addison’s hot, humid summers (with temperatures regularly reaching 95°F+) and cold winters (dipping into the 30s), your water heater works overtime year-round.
How We Handle Water Heater Installations and Repairs
First thing we do is figure out what’s actually wrong. If your water heater is leaking, we check the pressure relief valve, the drain valve, and the tank itself. A leaking tank means replacement; you can’t patch that. If it’s just a valve, we swap it out and you’re back in business.
For installations, we pull the old unit, check that the gas lines or electrical connections meet current code, then set the new heater in place. We make sure the temperature and pressure relief valve is installed correctly and test everything before we leave.
Gas water heaters need proper venting, especially important in homes with attic installations common around here. Electric units need the right breaker size. Tankless systems need adequate gas supply or electrical capacity. We measure twice, install once.

Tankless water heaters are more common now. They heat water on demand instead of keeping a tank full of hot water all the time. They take up less space and last longer, but they cost more upfront. We installed one in a two-story home last spring after the owners got tired of running out of hot water during back-to-back showers. Works great for them.
Why Water Heater Service Matters
Ignoring a struggling water heater just makes things worse. A small leak becomes a flooded utility room or garage, particularly problematic in homes built on slab foundations where water has nowhere to drain.
Cold showers are rarely a preference, so when heating elements fail, homeowners are unhappy. The cause is typically sediment buildup, which reduces efficiency and shortens the tank’s lifespan. That’s why regularly scheduled maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually, is advised.
We’ve been working on water heaters in Addison, TX long enough to know what fails first on different brands and models. Tank warranties usually run 6 to 12 years, but the unit can last longer with proper care.
When it’s time to replace, we’ll explain your options: standard tank, high-efficiency tank, or tankless. We’re not here to upsell you. We’re here to get you reliable hot water.
