The short answer

Precision Plumbing is your go-to for installing and servicing water heaters of every kind, from tank to tankless, gas to electric. Our licensed journeyman plumbers are accustomed to the on-site work and more involved jobs that ensure you have a reliable supply of hot water here in Eugene and throughout Oregon.

Being a Eugene-area water heater company means we put in new units, fix old ones, and give you straight talk on the cost of any replacement.


Our Services

01

Tank-style water heaters — We install and make repairs on gas and traditional electric models from the top brands.

02

Tankless (on-demand) units — We service all the major brands and can put in a system with the GPM rating your home requires.

03

Heat pump systems — For better energy efficiency and to keep operating costs down, we will install and maintain these as well.

04

Residential installs — This includes work on shutoff valves, flexible connectors, drain pans, and the gas lines for your water heater.

05

Electrical coordination — When the job calls for it, we work with Reynolds Electric and other licensed electricians to make the necessary connections.

06

A quick replacement — If you need us to replace your unit within 24 hours of calling, we will do so or take $400 off the tab.


The Case for Precision Plumbing

01

Our technicians and journeyman plumbers are fully licensed to perform natural gas and electric installations, including making safe gas line connections.

02

You will find experience with everything from conventional tanks to hybrid heat-pump models and modern tankless technology.

03

We are local. Operating out of Harrisburg, we serve Lane County and the surrounding Northwest communities. We know the utilities like EWEB and NW Natural and can point you toward any applicable rebates.

04

We offer candid guidance on what water heater is right for you, weighing the upfront price against long-term efficiency and the size of your household.


When It Is Time for a New One

There are telltale signs a water heater is due for some attention. You may notice the hot water is inconsistent, there is a drop in capacity, or the tank is making odd noises. Visible leaks or corrosion are also cause for concern.

Since most tank units only last 8 to 12 years, persistent problems are often better met with a replacement than a repair. One of our qualified plumbers can make the call and recommend the best path forward, be it a fix or an upgrade to a tankless or heat pump model.


Options and Things to Consider

Tank or tankless? A tank is a no-nonsense, reliable choice with a lower initial cost. Tankless gives you on-demand water and can reduce energy use over time in some homes.

Fuel — There are tradeoffs with natural gas, electric, and hybrid heat pumps in terms of how they run and what is required to put them in. We will walk you through the choices so you can see where the operating costs lie.

Sizing — Performance depends on it. For a Rheem, Noritz, or similar unit, we will factor in your hot water usage and household size to get the GPM or tank capacity right.

Longevity — An annual plan to flush the tank or service a tankless unit goes a long way in preventing corrosion and protecting your investment.

Permits and safety — In Eugene, we take care of the permits, gas, and electrical work to make sure everything is up to code.


A Service Visit With Us

01

We start with an assessment of the problem and a discussion of whether to repair or replace given the costs and timing.

02

You receive an estimate with honest pricing and a timeline for the work ahead.

03

Licensed plumbers complete the installation or repair, along with the proper safety checks and any necessary electrical coordination.


Maintenance and Service

Both tank and tankless systems benefit from regular upkeep. We do the annual maintenance, flushing, and inspections needed to stave off tank corrosion and keep the unit running smoothly.

On a tankless system, we will carry out the manufacturer’s recommended service to preserve GPM output. Routine work on a gas, electric, or heat pump water heater is the best way to avoid an unexpected failure and have hot water on demand.

If you are in Eugene or one of the nearby Lane County towns and are looking to upgrade or have had trouble with your water heater, let Precision Plumbing evaluate the situation. From a standard electric or gas model to a heat-pump solution, we can tailor the options to fit.

I had an apparent water leak outside near my back door, the water meter indicated a 10 gal/hour leak. Montana with Precision Plumbing arrived within an hour of my call. He immediately noticed a hose bibb 20 feet away leaking a slow, steady stream. The water had run underground, under a concrete slab and surfaced 20 feet away. Tightened down the hose bibb handle and verified the leak had stopped by checking the water meter. Thanks Precision, I’ll definitely use you in the future.

Friendly, professional, did a great job re-lining our sewer so that we didn’t have to dig up the yard and remove our nice cedar tree. Cleaned up everything so you couldn’t tell anything happened. Enjoyed working with Precision.

As an owner of a local restoration company, it’s great to have a reliable plumber to turn to when we encounter leaks and broken pipes. I’ve also used Precision Plumbing at my own home.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the work done by Precision Plumbing! Our technician, Roy, was efficient, professional and friendly! We had a faucet replaced and he took extra care to check for leaks and said we could call if we had any concerns. Clogged drain was cleared as well! Very pleased with the cost of the service.
