A Recent Water Heater Replacement in Shavano Park
What the homeowner reported: problems with their hot water.
What our technician found: the existing water heater needed to be replaced.
What we did: we replaced it with a new State 38-gallon electric low-boy water heater.
Result: the technician turned the water back on, checked for leaks, made sure no air was left in the tank, connected the electrical line, and turned the new heater on. The job was completed in August 2026.
Why a Low-Boy Heater
A low-boy water heater is shorter and wider than a standard tank, which lets it fit where height is limited, such as a raised stand or a closet with a shelf above. On this job the heater sits on a stand above the washer, so the replacement had to fit the same space.
Choosing a replacement means matching the space, the fuel type, and the household’s hot-water needs. See water heater replacement and installation for how we approach sizing and installation.
Diagnose First, Then Replace
Not every hot water problem means a new heater. On electric units, problems can come from heating elements, thermostats, or the power supply, and some of those are repairable. We find the cause before recommending replacement. See water heater repair and our guide on repairing or replacing a water heater.
