Water heater repair and replacement in Mooresville and Lake Norman
No hot water, a leaking tank, or a heater that's just old? We repair what can be repaired and replace what can't, usually the same day, with the price in writing first.
Signs it's time to call
- No hot water, or it runs out fast
- Water pooling under the tank
- Rust-colored hot water
- Popping or rumbling from the tank
- The heater is past 10 years old
What we do
We service tank and tankless heaters, gas and electric. For a repair, we diagnose first and tell you honestly whether it's worth it. For a replacement, we size the new unit for how your household actually uses hot water, install it to code with a new expansion tank where required, pull the permit, and haul the old one away.

Water heaters around Mooresville
Many Lake Norman homes built in the 2000s are on their original water heater, which puts them right at the age where tanks start to leak. If yours is over 10 years old and you're planning to be in the house a while, we'll give you a replacement price alongside the repair price so you can decide with real numbers.
Questions about water heaters
Repair or replace?
Tanks last roughly 8–15 years. Under 8 and it's usually a repair. Past 10, we'll quote both and tell you what we'd do in your house.
Tank or tankless?
Tankless gives endless hot water and saves space, but costs more up front and needs the right gas line and venting. We'll tell you if your house is a good fit before you spend anything.
Do you pull a permit?
Yes. Water heater replacements are inspected in our area, and you get the paperwork.
What customers say
“Water heater died on a Sunday night. Mike texted back within minutes, walked me through shutting it off, and had a new one in by Monday afternoon. Price was exactly what he wrote down.”
Karen T. · Davidson · 2 weeks ago“Second time using Lantern. Kitchen drain this time. Showed up when they said, cleared it, and showed me on the camera why it kept clogging. No upsell, just the fix.”
