Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We repair and install water heaters in Eixample (Mataró). We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. The problem is often limescale accumulation inside the tank. The electric heating element becomes covered with an increasingly thick layer that acts as an insulator. The thermostat detects that the target temperature is not reached and draws more current. The bill goes up, the appliance heats less effectively, and eventually, the element burns out. Sometimes the tank ruptures from the inside, leading to a catastrophic leak that floods the laundry room.

When to call for water heater in Eixample (Mataró)

Almost no one knows it exists, but it's the part that adds the most lifespan to a water heater. It's a magnesium rod inside the tank that attracts corrosion to itself instead of letting it attack the tank walls. It slowly depletes over time. When it's completely gone, corrosion starts to eat away at the tank, and from then on, every year counts. We replace them every four or five years in hard water areas. It's a reasonable cost and easily extends the appliance's life by another ten years. The water takes longer to heat than in the first year. It runs hotter initially, then cools quickly. You notice abnormally high electricity consumption on your bill. There are kettle-like noises, indicating bubbling at the bottom of the tank due to sediment. The water runs slightly cloudy for the first few seconds. Any of these symptoms warrant an inspection. The reality is that no one replaces it. Technical services usually don't inform customers, and owners are unaware of its existence. When we perform a first inspection on a water heater older than five years, the anode is almost always completely depleted.

Materials and Brands

30 days on labour and the official manufacturer's warranty on the installed appliance. The water in Costa Blanca has an average hardness of 30-40 French degrees. This means that a standard electric water heater of any brand, installed without any special care, lasts between five and eight years before serious problems begin. Compared to an identical heater installed in soft water areas like Galicia or northern Catalonia, where it lasts twelve or fifteen years without issues, the difference is stark and ultimately impacts your wallet. Oversizing penalises your electricity bill because the appliance spends more on heating a volume you never use. Undersizing results in cold showers at the end of the morning family rush. We calculate your needs before proposing a model.

Indicative pricing

The price for water heater installation and repair in Eixample (Mataró) typically ranges between 59 and 420 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting work. For holiday apartments or small properties without a gas connection, an electric water heater is the only reasonable option. For villas or homes with natural gas available, the choice between a larger capacity electric heater and a combined gas boiler depends on family consumption and the current price of gas versus electricity. Yes, we offer an annual contract with two scheduled visits plus urgent response throughout the rest of the year at a preferential rate.
