Water Heater Maintenance in Franklin IN

Maintaining Franklin’s Water Heaters Since 1968

Your water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, and one of the easiest to overlook. Whether you’re cooking, showering, or doing laundry, you depend on it every day. At Johnson Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing, we’ve been helping Franklin homeowners protect their water heaters since 1968.

With regular professional maintenance, your water heater can operate more efficiently, deliver consistent hot water, and last longer, saving you money and headaches in the long run.

Why Water Heater Maintenance Matters

Over time, your water heater faces challenges like sediment buildup, corrosion, worn parts, and hard-water scale. These issues can cause higher energy bills, poor performance, and early breakdowns.

Our licensed plumbers inspect every aspect of your water heater’s operation and let you know whether you can keep counting on it, or if it’s time to start thinking about a replacement. We provide maintenance throughout Franklin, Greenwood, and even Columbus, ensuring you get expert service no matter where you live.

We Maintain All Types and Brands of Water Heaters

Tank-Type and Tankless Water Heaters

Most homes in Franklin have either a traditional tank water heater or a tankless unit:

• Tank-Type Models store 40–80 gallons of water in a large tank, keeping it hot and ready for use.
• Tankless Models heat water only when needed, delivering an unlimited supply and saving space.

Our plumbers work with both types every day and can recommend what’s best for your household’s needs.

All Makes and Models

While tank and tankless water heaters follow similar designs, each manufacturer uses different parts and systems. Our team services all brands, including:
