Why Choose Hyde Park Plumbing for Water Heater Repair & Installation?
No hot water is more than an inconvenience in Boise — especially during winter when morning temperatures regularly drop below freezing. Hyde Park Plumbing repairs and installs all types of water heaters: standard 40-gallon and 50-gallon gas and electric tank units (Bradford White Defender Series, Rheem Professional, A.O. Smith Signature), tankless on-demand systems (Rinnai RU Series, Navien NPE-A2, Noritz EZ), and energy-efficient hybrid heat pump water heaters (Rheem ProTerra, A.O. Smith Voltex). Boise's hard water (12-17 GPG) is particularly rough on water heaters — mineral sediment accumulates on heating elements and tank bottoms, causing popping noises, reduced efficiency, and shortened lifespan. We recommend annual flushing and anode rod inspection to get the full 10-15 year lifespan from your tank unit. Water heater leaking from bottom? Pilot light won't stay lit? No hot water or lukewarm water? We diagnose and repair the same day. Idaho Power and Intermountain Gas offer rebates on energy-efficient water heater upgrades — we help with paperwork.

Our Water Heater Repair & Installation Process
Diagnose the Issue
We inspect your water heater for common failure points: pilot light won't stay lit and thermocouple failure on gas units, upper and lower heating element failure on electric models, sediment buildup causing popping or rumbling noises, leaking T&P relief valves, corroded anode rods (magnesium or aluminum), dip tube cracks causing lukewarm water, and tank corrosion. We tell you whether repair or replacement makes financial sense based on your unit's age and condition.
Repair or Replace
For repairs, we carry common parts (thermocouples, heating elements, gas valves, T&P valves) on our trucks for same-visit fixes. For replacements, we help you choose the right size and type — 40 or 50-gallon tank, tankless, or heat pump — based on your household size, gas availability, and budget.
Test & Commission
We install to Idaho plumbing code, connect gas or electrical, set proper temperature (120°F recommended), verify venting for gas units, and test hot water at multiple fixtures. We dispose of your old unit and clean up completely.

Common Questions About Water Heater Repair & Installation in Boise
How much does water heater replacement cost in Boise?
Water heater replacement in Boise costs $1,200 to $2,500 for a standard 50-gallon tank unit installed, or $2,500 to $4,500 for tankless systems. Hyde Park Plumbing offers same-day installation, upfront flat-rate pricing, and disposes of your old unit. Call (208) 871-9113 for a free estimate.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Replace your water heater if it's over 10-12 years old, leaking from the tank, producing rusty water, or if repair costs exceed 50% of replacement. Boise's hard water shortens water heater life, so annual maintenance helps. Hyde Park Plumbing provides honest repair-vs-replace recommendations.
What type of water heater is best for Boise homes?
For most Boise homes, a 50-gallon gas tank water heater is the most cost-effective option. Tankless water heaters (Rinnai, Navien) save 20-30% on energy bills and are ideal for larger households. Heat pump water heaters work well in Boise's climate for maximum efficiency.
How long does water heater installation take?
A standard tank water heater replacement takes 2-4 hours. Tankless water heater installation takes 4-8 hours if gas line and venting modifications are needed. Hyde Park Plumbing offers same-day installation for most water heater replacements.
What brands of water heaters do you install?
We install and service all major brands including Bradford White, Rheem, A.O. Smith, Rinnai, and Navien. As Boise's trusted plumber, we recommend the best water heater for your home's size, budget, and hot water needs.
How long do water heaters last in Boise?
Tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years in Boise, though our hard water (12-17 grains per gallon) can shorten lifespan without regular maintenance. Tankless units last 15-20 years. Hyde Park Plumbing recommends annual flushing and anode rod inspection to maximize your water heater's lifespan.
