About our Connecticut water heater referral service

What this service is

Connecticut Water Heater Fix is a referral service. We connect homeowners, landlords and property managers with independent local water heater specialists across Connecticut. We do not employ technicians, we do not own vans, and we do not carry out the work ourselves. What we do is answer the phone, understand the problem, and put you in touch with a professional near you who handles that kind of system.

We focus on water heaters and nothing else. That means tank heaters of every fuel type, tankless units, heat pump water heaters, indirect tanks fed by a boiler, and the tankless coils built into many oil boilers. It does not mean drains, general plumbing, well pumps, water treatment or heating systems. Keeping the scope that narrow is deliberate. It lets the conversation on the phone go straight to the questions that matter for your heater.

Why the east comes first

The name comes from the part of Connecticut that shaped the service: the towns east of the Connecticut River, Tolland County, the Quiet Corner and the southeastern shoreline. Hot water there is often more complicated than a single tank on a town water main. Many homes draw from a private well, many heat with oil, and a lot of those boilers make the household's hot water too. Houses range from colonial-era farmhouses and 19th-century mill-village buildings to postwar capes and shoreline cottages that sit empty half the year.

We cover the rest of the state as well, from Hartford and New Haven to Waterbury, Stamford, Danbury and the Litchfield Hills. The habits formed in the east carry over everywhere: ask about the water source, ask what makes the hot water, and ask what the way into the basement looks like.

What happens when you call

A person answers, at any hour. They will ask a short set of questions: roughly how old the heater is, whether it is a standalone tank, a tankless unit, an indirect tank or a coil in the boiler, what fuel it uses, whether the home is on a private well or public water, where the heater sits and how easy it is to reach, and what is actually happening.

With that, we match you with an available installer who works in your area and handles your type of system. You will hear what to expect about timing before anything is booked. When the technician arrives, they look at the heater, explain what they have found, and give you the price before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, and completed work carries a workmanship guarantee from the contractor; ask for its terms before you agree.

What we do not do

• We do not perform work ourselves. Every job is carried out by an independent contractor.
• The installers do not work on boilers, furnaces or heating conversions, only on the hot water side of those systems.
• The installers do not work on wells, well pumps, pressure tanks or water treatment. Questions about well water quality belong with your local health department or a qualified water professional.
• We do not give legal, tenancy or water-quality advice.
• We do not use contact forms or chat. The only way to reach us is by phone.
