Hot water isn’t a luxury — it’s something your household depends on every day, from morning showers to laundry and dishes. When a water heater starts to fail, you feel it fast. At Hunter Plumbing Services, our licensed master plumbers repair, replace, and install both tank and tankless water heaters throughout Myrtle Beach and Horry County, with upfront flat-rate pricing and same-day service usually available.
Most water heaters warn you before they quit. If you’re getting no hot water or running out quickly, seeing rusty or discolored water, hearing popping or rumbling from the tank, or noticing water pooling around the base, it’s time to have it looked at. Catching these signs early often means a simple repair instead of an emergency replacement.
Wondering whether to repair or replace? A traditional tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years. If yours is younger than that and the issue is a part like a heating element or thermostat, a repair usually makes sense. If it’s older, leaking from the tank, or needing repeated fixes, replacing it is the smarter long-term investment. We’ll give you an honest recommendation and a flat-rate price either way — no pressure, no surprises.
We install and service both styles. Tank water heaters cost less up front and suit many Myrtle Beach homes well. Tankless (on-demand) water heaters heat water only as you use it, never run out, save space, and typically last longer while lowering energy bills. If you’re tired of running out of hot water or want to convert to tankless, we’ll walk you through whether it’s the right fit for your home. We work with the brands we trust for reliability and warranty support, including Bradford White, Rinnai, A.O. Smith, Navien, and Rheem.
A little maintenance goes a long way. Sediment builds up in the bottom of tank-style heaters and makes them work harder for less hot water, so an annual flush keeps yours running efficiently. Tankless units need periodic descaling to stay in top shape. Ask us about a maintenance visit to add years to your water heater.

All water heaters should receive annual service to keep it working at optimum performance and maintain the longest life of the unit. Sediment can build up in your tank sytle water heater, impede the heating process, and give less hot water as it builds up. Tankless water heaters need flushing and this means to clean it out with a descaling agent, clean the flame rods, igniters and internal filter. Mineral deposits can build up and cause a clog within the unit and may prevent normal heating activity. Your hot water could also fluctuate and overheat the system, impacting its efficiency.
