Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhy Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
A reset that doesn’t restore hot water usually points to a failed thermostat or heating element, heavy sediment/scale buildup, an incorrect temperature setting, or an aging unit. Tank heaters often last about 10 years, and some tankless models 10–15 years with proper care. We service gas and electric, tank and tankless systems across Tucson.
- Set thermostat to about 120°F.
- Look for leaks.
- Flush the tank annually to remove sediment.
- Check age; consider replacement near 10 years.

Shut off power/gas and the cold-water supply, then call a licensed plumber. A bottom leak often means tank failure, a bad drain valve, or the TPR valve discharging. We handle diagnostics, repairs, and replacements for tank and tankless units, with same-day emergency service in Tucson and nearby areas.
Quick steps:
- Turn off the breaker or set gas to “off.”
- Close the cold-water shutoff valve.
- Don’t relight the unit.
- If safe, hose the drain valve to reduce water.
- Rust or pooling usually means replacement is needed.

First, check basics: make sure the unit has power or gas and that the thermostat is set correctly. If those are fine, Cool Willy’s can diagnose and repair both tank and tankless systems. We offer emergency response if you have a leak or no hot water.
Quick checks:
- Electric: reset the breaker; verify 240 V breaker is on.
- Gas: confirm gas valve is open; relight pilot/igniter if safe.
- Inspect for leaks or error codes.
- Flush annually to reduce sediment, common in Tucson homes.

Water heater replacement pricing varies by unit type (tank or tankless), size (gallons or flow rate), fuel (gas or electric), and any code or piping upgrades. We provide upfront, itemized pricing after an in-home assessment in Tucson and nearby areas. Our team handles removal, installation to code, testing, and a final walkthrough.

Water heater repair costs depend on the problem and your unit (tank or tankless, gas or electric). A Cool Willy’s technician will diagnose the issue on site and provide clear, upfront pricing before any work. Common cost drivers include leaking tanks, failed heating elements, thermostats, anode rods, and venting issues. Same-day and 24/7 emergency service are available in Tucson and nearby areas. Fine Tooth Comb Club members receive 10% off parts and labor and an annual tank water heater flush.

You can, but we don’t recommend DIY water heater installation. Proper installs must meet local code and manufacturer specs, and many projects involve permits and piping changes. Our licensed, insured plumbers handle removal of the old unit, correct gas or electric setup, full testing, and a final walkthrough. We service tank and tankless systems and offer emergency or same-day help in Tucson and nearby areas. We’ll also help you choose the right size and type for your home.
