LMP #521 | Plumbing Emergency?
Earl’s Plumbing & Heating repairs, replaces, and installs water heaters across Metairie, Kenner, and the greater New Orleans area. If your unit is leaking, running out of hot water, knocking, or discoloring the water, our licensed plumbers diagnose the problem fast and get your hot water back, often the same day.
We service and install both traditional tank water heaters and modern tankless systems, and we furnish only high quality, warrantied equipment. Our plumbers receive continuing education so you always get current, code compliant work backed by a company that has served the New Orleans metro since 1949.
A leaking tank almost always needs replacement, while issues like a bad heating element, thermostat, or anode rod are usually a straightforward repair. If your heater is near the end of its life or you want lower energy bills and endless hot water, we can quote a space saving tankless system and handle the full retrofit.
A typical tank water heater lasts 8 to 12 years, and a tankless unit can last 20 years or more with maintenance. If yours is in that range and acting up, replacement is often more cost effective than repeated repairs.
Repair usually makes sense for a newer unit with a failed part like a heating element or thermostat. Replace when the tank itself is leaking, the unit is over 10 years old, or repairs are approaching the cost of a new heater. Earl’s will give you a straight recommendation.
For many local homes, yes. Tankless units deliver endless hot water, take up less space, and lower energy use, which suits our mild climate well. We size and install the right system for your household and can walk you through the cost and payback.
