Our Water Heater Services
Whether you’re dealing with a failing unit or ready to upgrade, here’s what Compass offers:
Water Heater Repair
A failing water heater doesn’t always need to be replaced. Our licensed plumbers diagnose the issue on-site and repair what needs fixing: a faulty thermostat, a bad heating element, a leaking pressure relief valve or a gas valve problem.
Water Heater Replacement
When repair isn’t the right call—whether your unit is aging, inefficient or too far gone—Compass handles full water heater replacement. We’ll walk you through your options and install a new unit cleanly and correctly.
Tankless Water Heater Service
Compass installs and repairs tankless water heaters, including ignition failures, flow sensor issues and error codes. We service all major brands and carry common parts on every truck so most repairs can be completed in the same day.
Emergency Water Heater Service
A leaking tank or a sudden loss of hot water can’t wait. Compass offers same-day and emergency water heater service throughout Wichita, including evenings and weekends. Call us and we’ll dispatch a plumber as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most tankless water heater problems—including ignition failures, flow sensor issues and error codes—can be repaired without a full replacement. A plumber can diagnose the unit on-site and let you know if repair makes more sense financially than a new install. We service all major tankless brands and carry common parts on every truck.
Most water heater repairs run between $150–$1,200 depending on what’s wrong and the type of unit you have. Simple fixes like a faulty thermostat or a bad heating element sit at the lower end; issues with the gas valve or heat exchanger cost more. We provide upfront pricing before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Yes! We offer same-day and emergency water heater service for situations that can’t wait, including a leaking tank or a complete loss of hot water. Call us and we’ll dispatch a plumber as quickly as possible, evenings and weekends included.
A good rule of thumb: if your unit is under 8–10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of replacement, repair usually makes sense. For older units or those with multiple failing components, replacement is often the better investment. Compass will give you an honest assessment either way.
We serve Wichita and the surrounding communities, including Andover, Derby, Park City, Valley Center, Maize and Goddard, KS. Even when the zip code changes, the standard of our service doesn’t.
