Water Heater Installation & Repair in Maine & New Hampshire

Quick answer: Local Energy, LLC installs and repairs tank water heaters, Navien tankless water heaters, indirect water heaters paired with your boiler, and combi boilers that handle heat and hot water in one unit. We’ll tell you honestly whether a repair still makes sense or it’s time to replace.

Water Heater Options

• Tankless water heaters. Navien tankless units heat water on demand instead of keeping a tank hot. We’re a factory-designated Navien Service Specialist.
• Indirect water heaters. A storage tank heated by your boiler, an efficient choice for homes with hydronic heat.
• Combi boilers. One wall-mounted unit for both home heating and hot water, such as the Lochinvar Noble and EPIC.
• Tank water heater replacement, properly sized for your household.

Repair or Replace?

Tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years. It’s usually time to replace if the tank is past that age, the tank body is leaking, you see rust-colored water, or repairs keep coming back. If you’re simply running out of hot water, the tank may be too small for your household. Read Signs It’s Time to Replace (Not Repair) Your Water Heater.

Tankless or Tank?

Tankless isn’t automatically the right fit for every home. Your hot water demand, your existing gas line and venting, and upfront cost all matter. We’ll walk through both options rather than defaulting to the more expensive one.

Protecting Your Equipment

Hard water builds scale inside water heaters and boilers. We test water hardness and can install treatment to protect your equipment. See Water Treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a water heater last?

Conventional tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years. Tankless units tend to last longer with proper maintenance.

Should I get a tankless water heater?

Tankless works well for households that regularly run out of hot water, but it depends on your hot water demand, gas line and venting. We’ll compare it with a properly sized tank.

What is an indirect water heater?

An indirect water heater is a storage tank heated by your boiler instead of its own burner. It’s an efficient option for homes with hot-water heat.

Do you repair water heaters?

Yes. If a repair still makes sense, we’ll fix it. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you why and give you replacement options.
