Need water heater repair in Lehigh Acres, FL? Hot water trouble is one of the most common reasons Lehigh Acres homeowners call us, and it often comes with a twist you see less of in the cities to the west: a private well. Some Lehigh Acres homes are on the FGUA public water system, but many still draw their water from a well, and that changes how a water heater ages, smells and fails.

We serve every part of Lehigh Acres, ZIP codes 33936, 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974 and 33976, and our nearest offices are in Fort Myers, at 1342 Colonial Blvd, Suite K114, and 11595 Kelly Rd, Suite 201. Call (239) 215-3330 any time; the phones are staffed 24/7.

Water Heater Service in Lehigh Acres, FL

Signs Your Water Heater Needs a Plumber

Call us if you notice any of these:

No hot water, or hot water that runs out much faster than it used to
A rotten-egg smell from the hot taps but not the cold
Rumbling or popping from the tank while it heats
Rusty or cloudy hot water
Water pooling at the base, or a relief valve that keeps dripping
A tank more than about 10 years old that needs repairs more and more often

A leak at the base of the tank is the one to act on right away: shut off the cold water supply to the heater, turn off its power or gas, and call us.

Well Water and the Rotten-Egg Smell

If only your hot water smells like rotten eggs, the water heater is usually where the odor is being made. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, the anode rod inside most tanks is magnesium, and sulfur bacteria in the water can react with it in the warm tank to produce hydrogen sulfide gas. It’s a familiar complaint in homes on well water, and it’s one of the reasons Lehigh Acres customers call us.

The fix is rarely a new water heater. A replacement anode made of a different material, such as aluminum, can stop the smell while still protecting the tank, whereas simply pulling the anode out can shorten the heater’s life. Chlorinating the system can also kill the bacteria. If your cold water smells too, the source is more likely the well itself, and a water softener or filtration system may be the better long-term answer.

When “No Hot Water” Is Really a Well Problem

Not every outage is the water heater’s fault. If you have no water at all, hot or cold, the problem is upstream of the heater, usually somewhere in the well system: the pump itself, the pressure tank, or the electrical circuit that runs the pump. “No water” and well problems are a regular part of our Lehigh Acres calls, so our plumbers check the whole system rather than assuming the heater has failed. Sediment from well water also settles in the bottom of a tank, which is one reason a regular flush is worth it.

What Happens on Your Water Heater Visit

Expect a few questions when you call: roughly how old the heater is, and whether anyone is living in the house right now. At the visit, the plumber tests the unit and its connections, then lays out repair and replacement choices with prices attached before touching anything (our pricing page explains the approach). Replacing? We’ll weigh a standard tank against a tankless water heater and match the size to your household. Shoe covers stay on the whole time.

Licensing matters on an appliance that runs on gas or electricity: our plumbers work under Florida State Certified plumbing license #CFC1428743, listed on myfloridalicense.com. Every job comes with our 1-year workmanship warranty (two years for Nerd Pass members), and financing can spread out the cost of a new heater with approved credit.

Lehigh Acres Water Heater Questions

The smell is usually being made inside the water heater. Sulfur bacteria in the water can react with the tank’s magnesium anode rod and give off hydrogen sulfide gas. Swapping in an anode made of a different material, such as aluminum, often solves it. If the cold water smells too, look to the well instead.

We don’t recommend it. The anode protects the tank from corrosion, and the Minnesota Department of Health notes that removing it may significantly shorten the heater’s life. A replacement anode made of a different metal is the safer fix.

Probably not, since a water heater can’t stop cold water from reaching your taps. If both hot and cold are out in a home on a well, look for a failed well pump, a waterlogged pressure tank or a tripped breaker on the pump circuit. Call (239) 215-3330 and we’ll track it down.

It depends on how much sediment your water carries, but checking it every year is a good habit. Nerd Pass ($249) includes an annual plumbing evaluation and a flush for standard tank water heaters.

Yes. We service water heaters all over Lehigh Acres, whether your home is on a private well or on FGUA water, and our closest offices are in Fort Myers. Customer service is available 24/7.
