Our Water Heater Services
Water Heater Repair
Not every problem means you need a new unit. Our licensed plumbers troubleshoot the issue, fix faulty thermostats, replace worn parts, and stop leaks — so you get hot water restored quickly, without unnecessary costs.
Water Heater Replacement
When your old unit is beyond repair or costing too much to run, we’ll help you choose a modern, energy-efficient replacement sized perfectly for your family’s needs. We install both traditional tank and high-efficiency tankless water heaters — with honest advice, clear pricing, and careful, code-compliant work.
Water Heater Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps your water heater last longer and run more efficiently. We flush sediment, check the anode rod, test safety valves, and make sure everything’s working as it should — preventing surprise breakdowns.
Conventional Water Heaters
Tried and true, conventional water heaters store a set amount of hot water in an insulated tank, ready whenever you need it. They’re simple, reliable, and cost-effective for many Twin Cities households. Our team repairs, maintains, and installs tank units to keep your hot water steady year-round.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters heat water only when you turn on the tap, giving you endless hot water without paying to keep a big tank warm all day. They’re energy-efficient, compact, and perfect for homeowners looking to cut utility bills and free up space. We install and service top tankless brands to match your home’s needs.

At Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing®, we know replacing a water heater can be an unexpected expense.

Types of Water Heaters We Service & Install
No two households have the same hot water needs — that’s why we work with a range of water heater types to make sure you get the best fit for your home and budget.

Gas Water Heaters: Popular for quick heating and reliable hot water, especially during Minnesota’s cold winters.

High-Efficiency Units: These models use less energy to heat your water, lowering your utility bills over time.

Water Heater FAQs
How long should my water heater last?
Most traditional tank water heaters last about 8–12 years. Tankless models can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. If your water heater is near the end of its lifespan, it’s smart to plan for a replacement before you’re stuck with cold water.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
For many Twin Cities homeowners, yes — tankless water heaters are energy-efficient and provide endless hot water on demand. They cost more upfront but save money long-term on energy bills and last nearly twice as long as tank models. We’ll help you decide if it’s the right fit for your family and usage.
How can I extend the life of my water heater?
Annual maintenance makes a big difference: flushing the tank to remove sediment, checking the anode rod, and testing safety valves all help prevent breakdowns. Our team can handle this for you — giving you more years of reliable hot water.
