No hot water for your morning shower? A leaking tank in the basement? A water heater that makes popping or rumbling sounds? These are problems that need immediate attention, and Axel Mechanical Services has the expertise to handle them all. We repair and install both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems throughout Lancaster, York, Lebanon, and Dauphin Counties.
Whether your water heater needs a new heating element, a thermostat replacement, an anode rod swap, or a complete unit replacement, our licensed plumbers will diagnose the issue accurately and get your hot water restored as quickly as possible. We carry the most common water heater parts and do our best to complete repairs as efficiently as possible.
Lukewarm water, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, or leaks from the tank? We troubleshoot and repair all makes and models of gas and electric water heaters. Our technicians replace thermostats, heating elements, anode rods, pressure relief valves, and more.
If your water heater is beyond repair or nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 8-12 years for tank models), we'll help you choose the right replacement. We handle the full swap - disconnecting the old unit, installing the new one, connecting water and gas lines, and testing everything before we leave.
Interested in endless hot water and lower energy bills? Tankless water heaters heat water on demand and can last 20+ years. We'll evaluate whether your home's gas supply and venting can support a tankless unit and handle the complete installation, including any necessary upgrades.
A leaking water heater can dump dozens of gallons onto your floor and cause serious water damage. If your tank is leaking, making unusual noises, or you've lost hot water entirely, call us at (717) 342-6382 for emergency service. We respond quickly to prevent further damage.
Losing hot water is more than an inconvenience - it affects your daily routine, your laundry, your dishes, and your comfort. We take water heater problems seriously and respond with the urgency they deserve.

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless models can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Factors like water quality, usage patterns, and maintenance frequency all affect lifespan. If your water heater is approaching these ages, it's worth having us inspect it to catch problems before they become emergencies.
Those sounds are usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the burner heats water trapped under the sediment, it creates steam bubbles that pop. A tank flush can resolve this issue. If left untreated, sediment buildup reduces efficiency and can accelerate tank corrosion, shortening your water heater's life.
Tankless water heaters offer endless hot water and use less energy since they only heat water when you need it. They're a great fit for many homes, but they do cost more upfront and may require gas line or electrical upgrades. We'll evaluate your home's setup and help you decide whether tank or tankless makes more sense for your situation and budget.
First, turn off the gas or electricity to the unit and shut off the cold water supply valve at the top. If the leak is from the pressure relief valve or a fitting, it may be repairable. If the tank itself is leaking from the bottom, the tank has likely corroded through and needs replacement. Call us right away - we'll come out quickly to assess the situation and prevent water damage.
The cost depends on the type (tank vs. tankless), fuel source (gas vs. electric), capacity, and any modifications needed to your plumbing or venting. We provide detailed upfront quotes so you know the full cost before we start. We also offer financing options to help make the investment more manageable.
