Water Heater Repair and Replacement in North Richland Hills
Cowtown Water Heaters handles water heater repair and replacement throughout North Richland Hills, TX, serving all of the 76180, 76182, and 76148 ZIP codes.
We work on tank and tankless systems in homes across the area, from 1970s and 80s ranch homes with pier-and-beam foundations to newer subdivisions built on slabs in neighborhoods like Meadow Lakes, Smithfield, and the streets near Iron Horse Golf Course.
When your water heater stops keeping up or starts making noise you haven’t heard before, we’ll figure out what’s going on and get it fixed.
Most water heater problems show up in pretty predictable ways. You might run out of hot water halfway through a shower, notice puddles forming around the base of the tank, or hear popping sounds when the unit fires up. Sometimes the pilot light won’t stay lit.
Other times you get rust-colored water from the hot tap that clears up when you run cold. These are signs the system needs attention before a small leak turns into a water-damaged floor or a failing element leaves you with cold showers for days.
Common Water Heater Issues We Handle
Here’s what we see most often in North Richland Hills homes:
- Water heater leaking from the pressure relief valve or tank connections
- Insufficient hot water for normal household use
- Discolored or rusty water coming from hot water taps
- Rumbling, popping, or banging noises during heating cycles, often from sediment buildup in North Texas hard water
- Pilot light that won’t stay lit or igniter that won’t spark
- Water temperature that’s too hot or won’t heat at all
How We Diagnose and Fix Water Heater Problems
When you call us for water heater service, we start by checking what’s actually wrong instead of guessing. We test the thermostat settings and heating elements on electric units. On gas water heaters, we inspect the burner assembly, pilot light, and gas line connections.
We look at the anode rod to see how much corrosion protection is left in the tank. If there’s sediment buildup at the bottom making those popping sounds, common with our mineral-heavy water, we’ll drain and flush the system. Sometimes it’s a $40 thermocouple. Sometimes the tank has rusted through and needs replacement. We walk you through what we find so you can make an informed call on repair versus replacement.
A water heater that’s been leaking from the tank itself can’t be fixed; once the steel cracks, it’s done. But leaks from fittings, valves, or connections are usually repairable. Failed heating elements and thermostats are straightforward swaps on electric units.
Gas valve issues take more diagnostic work, but we stock most common parts. For homes with older 40-gallon tanks struggling to keep up with demand, we’ll discuss whether a 50-gallon replacement or switching to a tankless system makes more sense long-term.
Our North Richland Hills Service Area
We serve all of North Richland Hills including the 76180, 76182, and 76148 ZIP codes, plus surrounding communities within 25 miles. Whether you’re near Iron Horse Golf Course, along Davis Boulevard, or in the neighborhoods off Mid Cities Boulevard, we’re ready to help with your water heater needs.
Water Heater Replacement and Installation
When it’s time for a new water heater, we help you pick the right size and type for your household. A family of four in a three-bedroom home has different needs than a retired couple in a smaller place. We install conventional tank water heaters, power-vent models for homes without proper chimney venting, and tankless units that heat water on demand.
Tankless systems cost more upfront but they don’t run out of hot water during back-to-back showers, and they typically last 20+ years compared to 10-12 for tank units. Most replacements take half a day once we have the new unit on site.
Cowtown Water Heaters has served North Richland Hills and surrounding areas in TX for years, conveniently located to serve homes off Davis Boulevard (FM 1938), Mid Cities Boulevard, Bedford-Euless Road, and throughout the I-820 corridor.
We carry proper licensing and insurance. Our trucks stock common water heater parts so we can complete many repairs the same day instead of making you wait for an order. We offer military and senior discounts on service calls.
