Our Water Heater Installation, Repair & Replacement Services and Installation Work for South Carolina Lowcountry Homeowners

LimRic’s licensed plumbers work on every kind of water heater, from standard storage tanks to energy-saving tankless water heaters. Charleston’s humidity, mineral-heavy water, and older plumbing systems can wear out a heater faster than expected. We see it every day in homes around West Ashley, Summerville, and Mount Pleasant. That’s why every installation we do is fitted for the home’s layout, water use, and local conditions.

Whether you need a simple repair or you’re ready to replace an aging system, we’ll walk you through the options, explain what matters, and give you a clear price before the work starts.

Water Heater Repair

A water heater often gives warning signs before it quits. You might notice water turning lukewarm, odd popping sounds from the tank, or a leak that wasn’t there last week. LimRic’s plumbers handle all of it, including:

Fluctuating or inconsistent water temperature

Banging or rumbling sounds from sediment buildup

Leaks near the fittings or the tank base

Rusty or discolored water from corroded parts

Long recovery times after hot water runs out

We check the heating elements, thermostats, and tank lining to find the real cause. Once we know what’s wrong, we fix it right and test the system before leaving. If your water heater can be safely repaired, we’ll get it back in shape instead of pushing for a replacement.

When replacement becomes the better option, LimRic’s plumbers handle the full installation start to finish. We remove the old system, connect the new one safely, and make sure it meets all Charleston County and nearby areas plumbing codes.

We install electric, gas, hybrid, and tankless water heaters across the Lowcountry. If you’re not sure which type fits your home, we’ll help you compare efficiency, capacity, and long-term costs. The goal is a reliable system that meets your family’s needs without wasting energy.

In many Charleston homes, space is tight, and plumbing lines are older. Our plumbers take extra care to make sure the installation ties in cleanly with your existing system, so you don’t deal with hidden leaks or pressure problems later.

Water Heater Replacement

When repairs keep adding up or hot water runs out often, replacement is the smart choice. LimRic’s team helps you choose a water heater that fits your home and usage, then provides code-compliant water heater installation with clean, safe workmanship.

You likely need a new heater if:
The tank shows rust, corrosion, or small leaks.
You frequently run out of hot water or recovery is slow.
Replacement parts and repair bills are growing quickly.
The water heater is 10 years old or more, especially gas models.

Upgrade options: Consider tankless or hybrid water heaters for higher efficiency and continuous hot water. We size the system correctly, verify venting and gas line capacity, handle permits, and deliver a full water heater installation service you can trust.

Tankless Water Heater Installation & Hot Water Heater Installation Options

Tankless water heaters are popular in Charleston because they save space and cut energy use. LimRic installs both tankless and traditional units depending on your home and budget.

Tankless systems heat water on demand, so you never run out during showers or laundry. They’re ideal for compact homes or large families who use a lot of hot water at once.

Traditional tank-style heaters remain a strong choice for many homeowners because they’re cost-effective and dependable when maintained regularly.

Our plumbers will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and choose the one that fits your lifestyle. We’ve installed thousands of systems around Charleston, and we know what works best in the Lowcountry’s mix of new and older homes.

Common Questions about Water Heater Installation Services

Will a plumber install a water heater?

Yes, you will need a licensed plumber for water heater installation services in Charleston. LimRic’s technicians install and test every connection for safety, performance, and code compliance.

How long should it take a plumber to install a water heater?

Most standard installs take three to four hours, depending on the setup. Tankless or hybrid systems can take longer since they often need updated venting or electrical adjustments.

What is the lifespan of a water heater?

Traditional tank water heaters last around eight to twelve years, while tankless models can run for fifteen to twenty with routine maintenance. Charleston’s hard water can shorten lifespan if the system isn’t flushed regularly.

How do I know when my water heater needs replacing?

Leaks, rust, or slow heating are signs it’s time to replace your unit. If it’s more than a decade old and repairs keep adding up, a new water heater is usually the smarter investment.

What type of water heater is most efficient?

Tankless models are usually the most efficient since they only heat water as needed. Hybrid water heaters also perform well for larger homes with higher demand. LimRic’s plumbers can help you choose what fits your space and water use best.
