Most NoHo emergencies are answered within 25–60 minutes, depending on traffic on the 101, 170, and our current workload.

Water Heaters

Yes — we diagnose and repair most major tankless brands and recommend replacement when the unit is failing repeatedly or parts are obsolete.

When should I replace my water heater instead of repairing it?
