Electric Water Heater Repair in the Twin Cities

Experiencing lukewarm showers, noisy tank operation, or no hot water at all? At Tim’s Home Services, located in Osseo, MN and serving the Twin Cities metro, our licensed plumbers specialize in electric water heater diagnostics and repair—ensuring your system runs safely, efficiently, and reliably.

Common Electric Water Heater Problems We Fix

  • No hot water — failed heating element(s), broken thermostat(s), tripped high-limit switch
  • Inconsistent temperature — bad thermostat, faulty element, sediment build-up impacting the element
  • Low hot-water volume — oversized household demand for the capacity, weak elements, mineral buildup
  • Strange noises — popping or rumbling from sediment heating at tank bottom
  • Water around base or tank failure — leaking drain valve, faulty tank seam, old anode rod failure
  • High energy bills — inefficient elements, bad insulation, old inefficient model

How We Diagnose & Repair

  1. Safety shut-off & inspection — we verify the circuit breaker is off, remove panels, inspect thermostats and elements, check wiring and junction box
  2. System assessment — measure voltage, test heating elements and thermostats, check for code compliance, inspect venting (if power-vented) and pressure relief operation
  3. Clear recommendation — repair vs replace, upfront pricing, no guesswork
  4. Repair or replacement — fix or replace faulty components, flush tank if needed, replace high-limit switch or drain valve, upgrade insulation if possible
  5. Verification & cleanup — restore power, confirm hot-water recovery, test temperature control, clean up work area, leave system documentation

Repair vs Replacement: What’s Right?

Repair often makes sense if the tank is in good condition and the issue involves replaceable parts. However, if your tank is older (8-12 years+), leaking, inefficient, or your hot-water demand has grown, replacement with a modern high-efficiency electric model may save more over time. We’ll help you assess costs vs savings.
