Water Heater Repair for Lebanon Homeowners
Tank & Tankless Service
Fast Diagnostics
All Fuel Types
Lebanon sits in York County, part of the territory Aces Highlands covers out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland every week — so a call for water heater repair gets a technician who already knows the local housing and codes, not a first-timer.
No hot water is never convenient. Aces Highlands diagnoses and repairs water heater issues quickly and accurately — getting your hot water back on as fast as possible.
Common water heater problems include no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, leaking, pilot light issues, and error codes on tankless units. Our technicians can quickly identify the problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution. If your water heater is leaking, our leak repair specialists can address any water damage at the same time.
We repair both tank and tankless water heaters from all major manufacturers. Common repairs include thermocouple replacement, heating element replacement, thermostat repair, anode rod replacement, and descaling for tankless units.
If your water heater is leaking from the tank or the cost of repair exceeds half the price of replacement, we will be honest about recommending a new unit — whether that is a traditional tank or a tankless system. We help you weigh the options without pressure.

Lebanon Homes and What They Need
Lebanon has the newest median housing stock of the York County towns Aces studied, built in 1989, with the lowest pre-1940 share at about 14 percent. Most of that growth happened after 1980, which means a lot of Lebanon's systems are reaching the age for their first major replacement rather than a full historic rebuild.
Water Supply and Drains in Lebanon
No public water or sewer utility was found for Lebanon, consistent with a rural town where private wells and septic systems are the norm. We check the well and septic setup on every property here before quoting plumbing or water heater work.
Getting to Know Lebanon
Lebanon was incorporated on June 17, 1767, making it Maine's 23rd incorporated town, and Wikipedia describes it plainly as 'the westernmost town in Maine.' It borders Acton, Sanford, Berwick and North Berwick on the Maine side, and Milton and Rochester, New Hampshire, on the other.
The town's population grew from about 1,150 in 1930 to more than 6,400 by 2020, with most of that growth arriving after 1980. Lebanon is drained by the Little River and the Salmon Falls River, the latter forming part of the state line with New Hampshire.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your Lebanon job to a call center. Our techs are paid to do the job right, not to upsell — no commission structure pushes them toward extra work. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
How a Tank Water Heater Works
- Cold inlet — the dip tube carries it to the tank bottom
- Burner — heats water at the bottom of the tank
- Anode rod — sacrificial rod that fights corrosion
- T&P valve — releases pressure if it builds too high
- Hot outlet — draws the hottest water from the top

In Lebanon, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Lebanon Code Enforcement Office (Rod Furbush, Code Enforcement Officer) (15 Upper Guinea Road, Lebanon, ME 04027, (207) 457-6082 option 2). With 6,629 residents, Lebanon is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC).

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.

I've had an excellent experience working with them for both electrical and HVAC work as I remodel my 1785 home. I highly recommend them.

I can not recommend Sam and his team enough!! In a world of slow response times and cut corners they went above and beyond in every area, installing a new electrical panel for me. Their attention to detail and love of their craft truly sets them apart from the rest!
Water Heater Repair FAQs
Why do I suddenly have no hot water?
On electric units it is most often a tripped breaker, failed heating element, or the high-limit switch; on gas units, a pilot or ignition problem or a failed thermocouple; on tankless units, an error code from scale buildup or a flow sensor. Most of these are quick, affordable repairs.
My water heater is leaking — can it be fixed?
It depends where the water is coming from. Leaks at valves, fittings, or element gaskets are usually repairable. Water seeping from the tank body itself means the inner tank has corroded through, and replacement is the only fix. We will show you exactly which one you have.
Why does my pilot light keep going out?
The most common cause is a worn thermocouple — the safety sensor that holds the gas valve open — which is an inexpensive replacement. Draft problems, a dirty pilot orifice, or a failing gas control valve can also be responsible. It is a fast diagnosis for our technicians.
Why is my hot water rusty or smelly?
Rusty hot water usually means the anode rod is spent and the tank has begun corroding inside; a rotten-egg smell is typically bacteria reacting with the anode rod. An anode replacement and flush often solves it — but rust from an older tank can signal it is nearing the end.
Do you service tankless water heaters too?
Yes — we diagnose error codes, descale heat exchangers, replace flow sensors and igniters, and service all major tankless brands, whether or not we installed the unit.
