Water Heater Repair in Orlando
Serving Orlando Homes & Businesses with Electrical & Water Heater Repairs Since 2008
When your water heater stops working, every part of your day is affected. Showers go cold, dishes and laundry pile up, and a leak can threaten your property fast. At Solaris Electric, we provide prompt water heater repair for residential and commercial customers so you can get back to normal safely.
Problems rarely happen at a convenient time. Our team is available 24/7 for emergencies, and because we’re a licensed electrical contractor, we handle both the electrical and water-heating sides of the job: one qualified call instead of two. Since 2008, we’ve served Orlando homeowners and businesses with licensed, insured technicians who focus on safety and plain-language communication.
From your first call, you’re talking with a professional who listens, asks the right questions, and schedules service that fits your situation. Our goal is a lasting fix, not a temporary patch, and we treat your property with the same care we’d want for our own.

Common Water Heater Problems We Fix
Most people call us when they notice a clear change in their hot water or spot something alarming near the tank. Some issues develop gradually; others appear overnight. Whatever the symptom, our technicians focus on finding the real cause before recommending a fix.
Performance & Noise Symptoms
You might have no hot water at all, or find it runs out much faster than it used to. In other cases, the water may be lukewarm, swing between hot and cold, or come out rusty and discolored. Rusty water often points to internal corrosion tied to a depleted anode rod, a sacrificial component inside the tank that wears down over time. Rumbling, popping, or banging from the tank typically signals mineral sediment baked onto the heating element, forcing the unit to work harder and shortening its lifespan.
Leaks & Local Water Conditions
Leaks are another frequent concern: water pooling at the base of the heater, drips from connections, or moisture on nearby walls and flooring. Orlando’s water supply draws from the Floridan aquifer, a limestone formation that produces hard water. Dissolved minerals settle as sediment inside tank water heaters over time, accelerating wear and contributing to many of the performance problems and leaks that bring local homeowners to call us.
Electrical Faults
Electrical symptoms deserve immediate attention. A breaker that keeps tripping, a burning smell, or visible damage to wiring near the unit are all signs to shut off power at the main panel before doing anything else. Because Solaris Electric is a licensed electrical contractor, our technicians are trained to diagnose faults in the wiring, breaker, and heating elements, not just the water-heating components. One call covers the full scope of the problem, whether it starts with the thermostat, the element, or the circuit feeding the unit.
Signs it’s time to schedule service:
- No hot water, or hot water that runs out quickly
- Water that’s only lukewarm or changes temperature on its own
- New sounds from the tank: rumbling, popping, or banging
- Visible leaks, damp spots, or rust around the unit
- Tripping breakers or unusual smells near the water heater
Reaching out promptly when you notice any of these signs can limit damage and help keep a repair from turning into a much larger problem.

Repair or Replace? How We Help You Decide
Whether to repair an existing unit or invest in a new one is one of the most common questions we hear. There’s no universal answer. It depends on several factors, and we walk through them with you before making any recommendation.
As a general guideline, units under roughly eight years old with isolated issues, inconsistent temperature, minor connection leaks, or unusual noises, are usually good candidates for repair. Units over 10 years old, those with a leaking tank, or those where the repair cost approaches half the price of a replacement are typically better served by a new installation. Higher-than-expected energy bills with no other clear explanation can also signal that an aging unit is losing efficiency.
We also consider repair history and any signs of corrosion or tank failure. Our technicians explain what they find, provide repair pricing, and walk you through replacement options when that’s relevant. How long you plan to stay at the property is a practical part of that conversation too. The decision is always yours. Our job is to give you the information you need to choose with confidence.
Questions worth thinking about before we arrive:
- How old is your water heater, and has it needed multiple repairs?
- Have your energy bills climbed without a clear reason?
- Do you regularly run out of hot water during normal use?
- Are you planning to stay in this property for several more years?
Talking through these points together helps us point you toward the option that best balances safety, comfort, and long-term value.
What to Do Before We Arrive
When something goes wrong, a few simple steps can protect your property and keep everyone safe until our team gets there. We don’t expect you to diagnose the problem yourself, and we strongly recommend against attempting repairs on your own, particularly around electrical components.
If you suspect an electrical issue, such as a burning smell, visible sparks, or a breaker that won’t stay on, turn off power to the water heater at the main panel before doing anything else. For leaks, keep the area clear and dry if it’s safe to do so, and avoid standing water near outlets or cords.
If you’re unsure how serious the situation is, call us and describe what you’re seeing. We can help you assess urgency and determine the right next steps. Once basic safety measures are in place, getting a professional on-site quickly is the most effective way to help prevent the problem from getting worse.
