How Is Your Comfort System Connected To Your Water Heater?

How Is Your Comfort System Connected to Your Water Heater?

A few days ago, we received a call from a local resident asking for the price of a new water heater. After just a few quick questions, we saved this family hundreds of dollars—and restored their home’s comfort in the process.

The call came in around 1:30 PM on a Friday. They had already contacted several contractors and big-box stores, receiving replacement quotes ranging from $975 to $1,700—and those estimates didn’t include potential code upgrades, required permits, or delivery fees. All they wanted was something simple: a hot bath for their children. As the homeowner put it, this was turning into a real “budget buster.”

Knowing there were young kids in the home, we immediately sent our Service Manager, Shawn, to take a look.

Within 10 minutes, Shawn discovered that the water heater didn’t need to be replaced at all. The problem was a failed thermocouple—a small, inexpensive part. Fortunately, Shawn had the replacement on his truck (we stay fully stocked for situations like these), and the repair was completed quickly.

The total cost? Well under $200—about 80% less than the cheapest replacement quote they’d been given. Unfortunately, some companies would have simply sold them a new water heater because that’s what the customer thought they needed. But what this family really needed was an affordable fix and warm baths for their kids.

We received a message about an hour later: the little ones were in the tub, happy and soapy. That’s exactly what Top Rank Service is all about—honest solutions, real care, and restoring comfort without unnecessary expenses.
