RV Water Heater Repair in Hobe Sound, FL
Gas and electric water heater diagnosis, element replacement, anode rod service, thermostat repair, and full unit replacement.
Your RV water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances on board. It heats water for showers, dishes, and hand washing, cycling multiple times a day. In Florida, the incoming water temperature is warmer than up north (70 to 80 degrees F vs. 40 to 50 degrees F), which means less work for the heater but also faster mineral buildup and anode rod consumption.

RV Water Heater Repair FAQ
How much does RV water heater replacement cost?
A standard 6-gallon replacement runs $400 to $600 installed. A 10-gallon unit is $500 to $700. Tankless models (Girard, Truma) cost $700 to $900 installed.
How often should I replace the anode rod?
In Florida, check it every 12 months. If it's more than 50% corroded, replace it. A $25 anode rod prevents a $600 tank failure.
Why does my water heater make popping sounds?
Mineral buildup on the bottom of the tank. When the burner heats the minerals, they crack and pop. A tank flush usually solves it. We recommend flushing annually in Florida.
Can you convert my water heater to tankless?
Yes. Tankless units provide unlimited hot water and save propane. Installation requires modifying the gas line and plumbing connections. Total cost with the unit is typically $700 to $900.
Gas or electric: which is better?
Both work well. Gas heats faster but uses propane. Electric is simpler but only works on shore power or a generator. Many RV water heaters have both options, which gives you flexibility.
My water heater leaks. Can it be fixed?
It depends on where the leak is. A leaking drain valve or fitting can be replaced. A leaking tank means the unit needs replacement, as tank leaks indicate internal corrosion.
