Water heater · repair, replacement and maintenance

Here's how a water heater visit goes with us.

Most water heater calls come down to one of a few parts, and we carry them on the truck. The rest is the same on every job, and it has been for a long time.

Background-checked, drug-tested

Every technician who comes to your door, every time.

The price before the work

You approve the price before work begins. Nothing starts until you say so.

Answered around the clock

Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

St. Paul since 1883

143 years of Twin Cities homes. We've seen yours before.

What’s your water heater doing?

Pick the one that sounds like your current experience. We'll tell you what it usually means, and whether it's a today problem or a this-week problem. Then we’ll fix it.

Not on the list? Call and describe it. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The handle is off, and the faucet keeps dripping or running.

Usually it’s
A worn cartridge, washer or valve seat inside the faucet.
What we do
Close the shutoff valve under the sink for now. We’ll replace the worn part, or the faucet if it’s past saving.

Equipment we service

Six things we check on every water heater call

A leak under the sink is rarely just the thing that's dripping. This is the order a McQuillan technician works through the cabinet, so the fix we quote is the one you actually need.

  1. Shut-off valves

    Do they turn, and do they hold? If the answer is no, that's fixed first, so there's an off switch before anything else is touched.

  2. Supply lines and their connections

    Bulges, weeping nuts, lines older than they look. The hot side first, because it ages faster.

  3. Faucet, cartridge and sprayer hose

    A drip test with the handle in every position, flow at this tap against the next one, the pull-out hose run in and out.

  4. P-trap and the drain run

    The sink filled and released, every joint watched while it drains, and the drain timed. A slow sink is a clog telling you it's coming.

  5. Disposal and dishwasher tie-in

    The jam, the reset, the flange seal, and whether the dishwasher hose has the high loop that keeps dishwater out of your sink.

  6. The cabinet floor

    Moisture, swelling, a stain that's older than today's leak. The slow drip you can't hear is the one that ruins the cabinet.

Then you get the price, in writing, before any repair begins. You'll never pay more than you're quoted, and you decide what happens next.

Nate our technician was informative and friendly. He checked our boiler over and made sure it was ready for winter and functional. Communication on our service window via the text system was poor. We were able to make same week appointment. Clear options with price points on possible future services and upgrades to our systems were presented to us. Technician good. Service good. Late appointment after the window was ok but not getting any update and having to call thinking no one was coming...

The technicians diagnosis took a few days. They listened and explained how to resolve our situation very well. This is our first experience with McQuillan. We are impressed by the knowledge and level of service. A big thank you!

The appointment was set up very quickly, and the professional came to my door with a smile. He was warm and friendly, but also professional in his regard for all the things I need done for my basement bathroom. He provided an estimate within a half hour of his arrival and I was grateful I will have to make difficult decisions because I was impressed by your service thank you and thank him please Mary.

Tony is one of the absolute best technicians I have worked with across any company or industry. He is personable, professional, polite, and extremely knowledgeable about the products and services he provides. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. Because of Tony, I will only use McQuillan for my plumbing needs. McQuillan is fortunate to have someone of Tony’s caliber representing their company. Highly recommended!

5/5 Stars Highly recommend! Tony was professional, punctual, and diagnosed the issue right away. They fixed everything quickly, left the work area completely clean, and charged a fair price. It’s hard to find reliable service these days, and I will definitely be using them for any future plumbing needs.

Great service. We have an issue with low water pressure and Zach looked over our plumbing and helped determine where the problem could be coming from. Zach went above and beyond what we expected and he was very knowledgeable and professional. He also identified some older gate valves that were needing to be replaced in the near future. He didn’t try to sell us on doing the work but instead provided us a competitive quote and told us we could call if/when we decided to have the work done. We...

Awesome service! Great that a little background profile information was provided about the technician that was coming out. This provided welcoming feeling as to who will be on site to do the service. We cannot find words to express how Technician Adam H. came out to diagnose our electrical issue. After patiently listening to the entire story about a portion of the house has no electrical power... he was able to find out the issue outside. Adam took his time to explain the entire power...

We had two projects completed recently and will be sure to call McQuillan again when our need for their services arises. First we had a furnace replaced. The work was professionally done. The crew was all hands on deck and diligent in completing the job in a timely manner. It looks and works great. Next we replaced an old laundry tub and the technician who arrived was able to diagnose the fix and complete the project same day. In both cases, the old units were completely removed, saving me a...

options, not pressure

We guide. You decide.

We present your options and you choose – no high pressure close. Explore the honest pros and cons of each below.

Water Heater Evaluation

A technician evaluates your home's hot water needs and existing setup to determine what a new installation would involve.

Often A Good Fit When

You're exploring a new water heater and want to understand your options before deciding.

Pros

  • Confirms what size and type fits your home
  • Costs less than the installation itself
  • Helps you plan ahead of a failure
  • No obligation to move forward

Cons

  • Does not install anything on its own
  • Not every home needs the same solution
  • May confirm installation is the right next step anyway

You’ll get a flat-rate price on all three before anything is decided.

What happens if you wait

A drip doesn't stay a drip

Under a kitchen sink, water has nowhere to go and nothing to dry it. Here's what the same small leak turns into, and the one place to stop it.

  1. Today

    A drip at the fitting

    A damp ring on the cabinet floor and a towel that never quite dries. Right now, the fitting is the whole problem.

    Stop it here in one visit

  2. Two weeks

    The cabinet floor swells

    Particleboard drinks water. It lifts, it bubbles, and it won't dry flat again. The musty smell starts about now.

  3. Two months

    Water finds the subfloor

    It runs under the cabinet base to the kick plate and the subfloor. Mold needs steady moisture and the dark. It has both now.

  4. Next spring

    No longer a plumbing repair

    The fitting still gets replaced. So do the cabinet base, the subfloor under it and the kick plate, after the mold is dealt with.

On day one, the fix is a fitting. By spring it's a carpenter, a floor and then a plumber.
