Home » Water Heaters

Running out of hot water can bring your day to a screeching halt. Cold showers, dishes that won’t rinse, and laundry that never feels clean are more than just frustrating—they’re signs your water heater may need attention. Whether it’s an outdated tank, a faulty heat pump, or sediment buildup in the system, ignoring it can lead to bigger issues and higher energy bills.

No one wants to deal with unreliable hot water, especially in a busy household. If your system is acting up or you’re just ready for something more efficient, it’s time to bring in a team you can trust.

At SoGood Plumbing, Heating, & Air, we provide dependable water heater installation and repair services to homeowners across Richmond and the surrounding areas. From traditional tanks to energy-efficient tankless models, we handle it all—including heat pump repair and replacement. Our goal? To keep your hot water flowing—and your home running—without interruption.

We service a wide range of makes and models, helping you stay comfortable while keeping energy costs in check.

Water Heater Installation (Tank & Tankless)

We install both standard storage tank units and modern tankless systems designed for on-demand efficiency. Our team will walk you through the best options for your home’s size, budget, and usage needs before performing a clean, code-compliant installation.

Water Heater Repair

Strange noises, inconsistent temperatures, or discolored water? These are all signs that your water heater needs repair. We troubleshoot everything from thermostat issues to leaking valves and restore hot water fast.

Water Heater Flush

Over time, sediment builds up inside your tank and reduces efficiency. A professional flush helps remove buildup, extend the life of your heater, and improve heating speed. We recommend scheduling this service annually to keep things running smoothly.

Water Heater Heat Pump Repair & Replacement

Heat pump water heaters are energy-efficient, but they still require regular maintenance. If your hybrid unit is struggling to keep up or has stopped working altogether, we can inspect the system and provide expert repair or full replacement as needed.

Getting ready for family coming at Easter and the A/C went late Thursday. I called and a helpful and caring representative got someone scheduled for today. Chase came out and quickly diagnosed the problem. Fortunately the needed parts were on the truck and he was able to get the A/C back up and running. He then did the sorting maintenance on both units. Chase was friendly, professional and definitely knew how to diagnose and make the required repairs. As we discussed what happened he discussed a surge protector which we decided made a lot of sense to keep the the problem from happening again which he also installed. We couldn't be happier with his work and our decision to be a customer of SoGood Plumbing.

Jay was very courteous by respecting the space I asked him to look at and greatly help me with advice in getting a plan in place to fix my problem. I absolutely don’t wish to need his or anyone else’s services but if I did, I would feel very confident in hiring So Good Plumbing with him leading the way.
