Water Heater Repair & Installation in Southwest Florida

A cold shower is no way to start the day. When your hot water quits, EJ Works delivers fast, reliable water heater repair in Southwest Florida — and when it's time for a new unit, we install it right. We service and replace both standard tank and tankless water heaters for homeowners in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, and the surrounding coast, with upfront pricing and clean, code-compliant work every time.

Water heater services we provide

  • Repairs — no hot water, water that runs out too fast, leaks, pilot light and ignitor issues, faulty thermostats, and sediment problems.
  • Tank water heater replacement — we'll remove your old unit and install a properly sized, energy-efficient replacement.
  • Tankless water heater installation — endless hot water and lower energy bills; we'll tell you honestly whether it's right for your home.
  • Maintenance & flushing — regular flushing clears the sediment that Florida's hard water leaves behind, extending the life of your unit.

Signs your water heater needs attention

  • No hot water, or it runs out much faster than it used to
  • Rusty, cloudy, or metallic-smelling hot water
  • Popping or rumbling sounds (a sign of sediment buildup)
  • Water pooling around the base of the tank
  • The unit is more than 10–12 years old

If you're seeing any of these, it's worth a call before a small problem becomes a flooded garage.

Tank or tankless?

Both have their place. A standard tank is lower upfront cost and simple to service. A tankless unit costs more to install but heats water on demand, never runs out, lasts longer, and saves space — a popular upgrade in Southwest Florida homes. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your household and never upsell you on something you don't need.

Why homeowners choose EJ Works

Licensed and insured, upfront pricing with no surprises, on-time service (many repairs same-day), and a local, family-owned team that treats your home like its own.

Water heater FAQ

How long does a water heater last?

A typical tank water heater lasts 8–12 years; tankless units often last 20+ with maintenance. Florida's hard water can shorten that, which is why regular flushing helps.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

If your unit is under ~8 years old and the issue is minor, repair usually makes sense. Older units with leaks or repeated problems are often more cost-effective to replace. We'll give you an honest recommendation either way.

Is a tankless water heater worth it in Florida?

For many homes, yes — they save space and energy and deliver endless hot water. We'll assess your gas/electric setup and usage before recommending one.

How fast can you come out?

We offer fast scheduling and same-day service for many water heater calls. Call us and we'll get you on the books quickly.
