UAC Water Heater accepts urgent calls for failed and leaking water heaters throughout the service area. Appointment timing depends on technician availability, location, access, equipment and the nature of the problem. Call rather than relying only on a web form for an urgent request.
When to request urgent service
- Water is actively leaking or spreading
- The tank has ruptured
- A property has completely lost hot water
- The unit repeatedly shuts down or shows a critical error
- A rental or commercial property has multiple occupants affected
Immediate safety steps
If water is leaking, keep people away from electrical hazards and shut off the water supply only when you can do so safely. For an electric water heater, do not stand in water to reach a breaker. If you smell gas, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.
What emergency service can involve
The first goal is to identify and control the immediate problem. Depending on the condition of the unit and available parts, the technician may complete a repair, make the system safe, or discuss replacement.
