Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
If the reset button didn’t restore hot water, the heater likely has sediment or mineral buildup or a worn part. Sediment in tank units reduces heating performance. Tankless units often need descaling, and their filters, valves, and venting require inspection. Inconsistent water temperature is a sign service is needed. We offer installation, repair, and 24/7 emergency plumbing for Elkhart and South Bend homes. Ask about our $59 Water Heater Flush + Plumbing Inspection (this month only).

If water is leaking from the top, shut off power and the water supply, then call for service. Turn the electric breaker off, or set the gas control to pilot/off. Close the cold-water shutoff valve above the tank. Do not remove panels near moisture. If safe, towel-dry the top and note whether the leak is at the cold inlet, hot outlet, or T&P valve. We offer 24/7 emergency water heater repair and same-day setup when possible in Elkhart and South Bend.

A leak at the bottom usually means the tank or drain is failing and needs professional service or replacement. Turn off power or gas and close the cold-water shutoff to stop the flow. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling offers 24/7 emergency water heater service in South Bend and Elkhart. We repair all brands and install tank or tankless units, with same-day tankless installs and old-unit removal. Watch for rust, popping sounds, or discolored water, which signal replacement.

Water heater replacement cost depends on the unit and your home’s setup. We confirm an upfront price after an in-home inspection. Tank vs tankless, capacity, and brand affect cost. Tankless installs may require gas line, venting, or electrical upgrades. We replace both types and can often do same-day service in Elkhart and South Bend. Current promos can lower your total, including $200 or $500 off select tankless installations and $59 inspection/flush specials. 24/7 emergency service is available.

Exact repair cost depends on the problem and parts. A Summers technician diagnoses your heater and provides upfront pricing before work begins. We service both tank and tankless units and offer 24/7 emergency help in the Elkhart and South Bend area. Maintenance specials can reduce costs, like our Water Heater Flush + Plumbing Inspection for $59 (limited-time).
- Key cost factors: issue type (leak, igniter, thermostat), tank vs. tankless, parts availability, and after-hours service.

Most homeowners should not install a water heater themselves. For safe, correct installation, use a licensed pro. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling installs tank and tankless units, sizes the system, and, for tankless, can address gas line, venting, or electrical needs. We offer same-day installation with old-unit removal and 24/7 emergency service in Elkhart, South Bend, and nearby.
- Quick signs you need a pro: leaks, rust, popping or rumbling sounds, inconsistent temperature, or running out of hot water.
