PureFlo Plumbing provides water heater repair in Jacksonville, along with water heater replacement, new installations and water softener installation. We help you choose the right type of water heater for your hot water demand, whether you want a traditional tank or endless hot water from a tankless unit, and whether your home runs on gas or electrical service. We look at your existing water heater, your household size and your daily hot water usage, then install the system to code and manufacturer guidelines. The result is reliable hot water, better energy efficiency and, with a softener, less mineral buildup on your pipes, fixtures and appliances.

Water softener installation reduces scale buildup, protecting pipes, appliances, and fixtures.
Correctly sized and installed systems operate efficiently, helping reduce energy costs.
Many problems, such as a faulty thermostat, heating element, igniter or relief valve, can be repaired. Replacement usually makes more sense when the tank itself is leaking, when the heater is near the end of its expected life, or when repair costs start to add up. Most conventional tank water heaters last somewhere around 8 to 12 years, while well-maintained tankless units often last considerably longer.
The best option depends on your household size, how much hot water you use at once, your fuel type and your budget.
An undersized heater means cold showers; an oversized one wastes energy. For tank models, sizing is based on how many people live in the home and how much hot water you use during the busiest hour of the day. For tankless models, it is based on how many fixtures may run at the same time and the temperature rise needed. A plumber can size the unit correctly for your home.
Much of Northeast Florida has moderately hard to hard water. Minerals settle in the bottom of a tank as sediment, which makes the heater work harder and shortens its life. Flushing the tank about once a year, checking the anode rod and testing the temperature and pressure relief valve all help a water heater last longer. A water softener reduces scale buildup in the water heater, pipes and fixtures throughout the house.
Most Jacksonville homes still have a conventional tank water heater, either gas or electric. Common repairs include a failed heating element or thermostat on electric units, a thermocouple, gas valve or igniter on gas units, a leaking drain valve, and a temperature and pressure relief valve that drips. Flushing sediment from the tank once a year helps it last longer, especially with Jacksonville’s hard water. If the tank itself is leaking, it cannot be repaired and the heater needs to be replaced.
Water expands as it heats. In homes with a check valve or pressure-reducing valve on the main line, that extra volume has nowhere to go, so pressure rises, the relief valve may drip and the tank wears out sooner. A thermal expansion tank, a small tank mounted on the cold supply line near the heater, absorbs that pressure. Many replacements need one to meet current code, and PureFlo can check whether your home needs one and install it with your new water heater.
Whether your heater needs a repair, a full replacement or an upgrade to tankless, call PureFlo Plumbing at 904-803-0495 or request a free quote. If you see water around the base of the heater, it may also be worth checking for other leaks with our leak detection service.
Quick answers to help you plan your water heater repair or replacement.
Most standard tank water heater replacements are completed the same day. Tankless conversions or jobs that need new gas, venting or electrical work can take longer, and we will tell you what to expect before we start.
A tank water heater costs less upfront and works well for many households. A tankless water heater provides endless hot water and better energy efficiency, but it usually costs more to install. We recommend the best fit based on your hot water demand and budget.
Size depends on how many people live in the home and how much hot water you use at the same time. We review your household size and hot water usage so the new unit does not run out when you need it most.
Often, yes. Thermostats, heating elements, igniters and relief valves can usually be repaired. If the tank itself is leaking or the heater is near the end of its life, replacement is usually the smarter choice.
Yes. Jacksonville has hard water, and a water softener helps reduce scale inside your water heater, pipes and fixtures. We can install a softener at the same visit as your new water heater.
