Water Heaters in the Greater Missoula Area

Don't Wait...Call Hellgate

Hot water is something most homeowners rely on without thinking about it. From showers and laundry to dishes and daily cleaning, a working water heater keeps life moving comfortably. When temperatures fluctuate, recovery slows, or unfamiliar sounds start coming from the system, it often signals that something is not working as it should.

Water heater problems tend to develop over time. Sediment buildup, aging components, and everyday use can gradually reduce the performance and efficiency of your plumbing. Ignoring these early signs can lead to higher energy bills, leaks, or an unexpected loss of hot water that calls for professional water heater repair.

Hellgate Plumbing, Heating and Cooling provides complete water heater services in the Greater Missoula Area, including water heater repair, maintenance, and replacement. Our team helps homeowners understand what their system needs and take the right steps to restore reliable hot water and protect long-term performance. Call or fill out our online contact form today.

Water Heater Services We Offer

A reliable water heater takes more than luck. Proper service at the right time helps keep hot water consistent, energy use in check, and small issues from becoming major problems. Our team provides complete water heater services designed to support performance, safety, and long-term reliability for homes throughout the Greater Missoula Area.

Water Heater Repair

When hot water is inconsistent, slow to recover, or completely gone, professional repair can often restore proper operation. We diagnose issues accurately and address problems such as heating element failures, thermostat issues, sediment buildup, and leaks. Prompt water heater repair helps prevent further damage and extends the life of your system.

Water Heater Maintenance

Routine maintenance helps keep systems running efficiently and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Flushing sediment, checking components, and inspecting system operation can improve performance and energy efficiency. Regular service is one of the best ways to protect your investment and avoid costly repairs.

Water Heater Replacement

Older systems can struggle to keep up with household demand and may cost more to operate. When repairs are no longer the best option, replacement can provide better efficiency and more reliable hot water. We help homeowners choose systems that match usage needs and install them properly for long-term performance.

Tankless Water Heater Services

Tankless systems offer on-demand hot water and increased efficiency for many homes. We provide repair, maintenance, and installation for tankless water heaters. Our team helps determine if a tankless option is the right fit and keeps existing systems running smoothly.

System Inspections and Performance Checks

Not every water heater problem is obvious. Inspections allow us to assess system condition, identify potential issues, and recommend solutions before problems escalate. This proactive approach helps homeowners stay ahead of unexpected hot water disruptions.

Great service! When my water heater died, they were able to send out Henry and Abe that same day. The fellas did a great job sussing out the situation and making sure everything was safe until they could get a new unit installed. The whole deal took only 4 days, and the boys couldn’t have been more helpful. True professionals.

I recently had Hellgate Plumbing and Heating install a Navien NCB 240e combination boiler and tankless water heater. Jason returned the bid the same day. From the start Jason was easy to work with, we discussed different options and venting routes, compromised and agreed upon what to do. Michael and Jason assessed the installation exactly. The work is beautiful, like engineering art. While it seemed expensive, their bid was the lowest and they were absolutely the quickest to respond and get the work done. I am really pleased with this system. My experience working with Hellgate Plumbing and Heating was Great, I highly recommend them.

Hellgate did excellent work for me expanding the plumbing connected to a hydronic home heating system, adding a new heating zone in the basement and installing new radiators. Mike worked with me on an initial visit to strategize a plan to locate piping and radiator placement to provide heat to each room with the least disturbance of drywall or other existing features. He was quite knowledgeable and creative in finding solutions. The team that came later to install the extended system were professional and competent and finished the job on time. I would not hesitate to use Hellgate again for plumbing or heating needs.
