Water Heater Services
Your water heater works harder than you think — it runs 365 days a year providing hot water for showers, dishes, laundry, and cleaning. When it fails, your entire household stops. Advantage HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical provides fast, professional water heater service across Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, Navarre, and Crestview.
Types of Water Heaters We Service
Tank Water Heaters
Traditional 40-80 gallon storage tank heaters. We repair all brands (Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White) and replace with energy-efficient models when repair isn’t cost-effective. Typical lifespan: 8-12 years.
Tankless Water Heaters
On-demand hot water with no standby energy loss. We install and service Rinnai, Navien, and Noritz units. Ideal for larger homes or households that run out of hot water. Typical lifespan: 15-20 years.
Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters
The most energy-efficient option — uses heat pump technology to heat water at 2-3x the efficiency of standard electric tanks. Qualifies for federal tax credits. We install Rheem and A.O. Smith hybrid units.
