No Leak Too Small, No Job Too Big
At Alpha Plumbing, we handle everything from basic water heater repairs to full replacements and high-efficiency upgrades. Whether you’re dealing with inconsistent hot water, a leaking tank, or are ready to switch to a more efficient unit, we bring the tools, training, and experience to get it done right the first time.
We get a lot of calls about water heater issues, and one of the first things we help you determine is whether it makes more sense to repair or replace the unit. Some of the most common signs that point to replacement include water pooling around the base of the tank, strange popping noises during heating, or rust-colored water coming from your faucets.
If your unit is over 10 years old and you’re having regular problems, it’s usually more cost-effective to go ahead and upgrade. We’ll help you weigh the cost of the repair against the long-term value of a new system to make sure you get the most bang for your buck.
Upgrading to a high-efficiency water heater can reduce energy usage and utility bills significantly. We install both high-efficiency tank-style units and tankless models, depending on your needs and usage patterns.
Modern heaters are built to heat faster, store better, and waste less. That means less standby loss, faster recovery time, and smarter use of your energy dollar. Over time, this leads to measurable savings for most families.
What sets Alpha Plumbing apart is our attention to the small things that others overlook. Every installation includes proper expansion tanks, temperature and pressure relief valves, and seismic strapping where required. We make sure your venting and drainage are set up correctly and follow all state and local plumbing codes.
Our team doesn’t just drop in a new unit and leave, we test the full system, check your pressure, and walk you through the new controls so you know how to get the most out of your investment.
Tankless water heaters are becoming increasingly popular in Lexington and surrounding areas, especially for households looking to save space and get endless hot water on demand. If you have a growing family, run out of hot water during back-to-back showers, or simply want a more compact and efficient setup, tankless might be right for you.
We’ll look at your gas or electric setup, discuss the flow rate you need, and determine if a tankless system will meet your expectations. In many cases, these systems can also qualify for energy rebates, further increasing their value.
