Standard tank water heater installs, replacements, and repairs. Sage installs name-brand units, pulls the permits, and disposes of the old unit. Same-day in most cases when stock is available.
Book ServiceTraditional tank water heaters (40, 50, 80-gallon) are still the most common choice for SWFL homes — affordable, simple, and reliable. Sage installs Rheem, Bradford White, and AO Smith primarily, in both electric and gas configurations. We pull permits, do code-compliant installs (expansion tanks, drip pans, T&P valves), and haul off the old unit.
Could be heating element, thermostat, or full tank failure. Diagnose first.
Sediment buildup reducing tank capacity, or undersized for the home. Flush or replace.
Tank water heater lifespan in SWFL hard water is 8-12 years. Past that, replacement is smarter than repeated repairs.
Tank corrosion. Anode rod can extend life if caught early. If tank is already corroded, replacement only.
Tank leak. Don't wait — full failure is imminent.
Sediment buildup on the heating element. Annual flush helps; significant buildup means replacement.
Tech checks age, condition, and whether it's repair-worthy or replace-worthy.
Tank size, electric vs gas, brand options. We help you pick based on your household.
We pull the permit, install the new unit (with code-required expansion tank, drip pan, etc.), and connect everything.
Old unit hauled away. We show you the shutoffs, T&P valve, anode rod location, and recommend annual flush.
