No hot water in your Forest Hills home right now?
Forest Hills Water Heater Repair & Replacement is the only company in Forest Hills, NY that does nothing but water heaters. Not a general plumber. Not an HVAC company that handles water heaters on the side. A dedicated specialist — for repair, replacement, and installation of tank and tankless systems across Queens, seven days a week, around the clock.
Every other company you find online is juggling drains, boilers, AC units, and twenty other services. Water heaters are one item on a long list.
For us, water heaters are the only item on the list.
That focus means we carry the right parts on every truck. We diagnose faster. We fix it right the first time. And we get your hot water running the same day you call — without the wait that comes with calling a general plumber who fits you in between other jobs.
We treat every no-hot-water call as an emergency and dispatch the licensed plumber within an hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
You see the price before we touch anything. No open-ended hourly billing. No parts charges added after the system is already apart. One written number that covers everything from start to finish.
Every job is performed by a licensed New York City plumber. All permits are applied for, inspected, and signed off by us — critical for Forest Hills co-ops and apartment buildings that require full documentation before any work begins inside a unit.
Our highest-demand service and the one most Forest Hills homeowners need urgently. We repair all makes and models of tank water heaters — diagnosing and fixing failed thermostats, burned-out heating elements, faulty pressure relief valves, sediment buildup, and leak sources. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.

Complete hot water failures — leaking tanks, units that will not ignite, total loss of hot water — are treated as immediate priority calls. We dispatch the same day with fully stocked trucks, resolve most emergency repairs without ordering parts, and have your hot water running again before the day is done.

When repair is no longer the right answer, we handle the entire replacement from disconnecting and removing the old unit to installing and testing the new system. Old tank disposed of before we leave. Most standard replacements in Forest Hills are completed in two to three hours.

Tankless systems fail differently than tank units and require a technician who genuinely understands on-demand heating. We repair all major tankless brands — Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, Rheem, and Bosch — correctly diagnosing ignition failures, flow sensor faults, heat exchanger scaling, and error codes that general plumbers routinely misdiagnose or replace unnecessarily.

A tankless water heater delivers endless hot water on demand, occupies a fraction of the space of a conventional tank, lasts nearly twice as long, and qualifies for federal tax credits currently available in 2026. For Forest Hills apartments and co-ops where utility closet space is limited, tankless is often the smartest long-term decision.

New construction, home renovation, or upgrading from a smaller tank — we size and install conventional tank water heaters correctly for your household's actual hot water demand. All installations are NYC code compliant and fully permitted.

Yes. We understand the licensed contractor documentation, board approval requirements, and permit paperwork that Forest Hills co-ops require. We handle all of it and coordinate directly with managing agents.
We tell you honestly after a complete diagnostic — in writing, before any work begins. A unit under 8 years old with a repairable component gets repaired. A unit over 12 years old facing a major failure gets replaced. Everything in between gets an honest assessment with real numbers.
