Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install and repair water heaters and boilers in Sant Gervasi - Galvany. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. If a unit is over eight years old, especially in hard water areas, it's nearing the end of its useful life. Even if the current fault can be repaired, the next one will likely occur within a year or two. It's more cost-effective to replace it and start fresh with a new unit and regular maintenance from the beginning.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. We repair many types of leaks: exposed copper pipes in kitchens and bathrooms, flexible connections under sinks, dripping taps (from the spindle or cartridge), gate valves leaking from the gland, downpipes filtering at joints, meters leaking from the main valve, boilers and water heaters with internal leaks, and poorly insulated communal tanks.

When to call for water heater and boiler in Sant Gervasi - Galvany

If it's between five and eight years old, it depends. If the fault is the heating element and the rest of the unit is in good condition, repair it. If there's a leak in the tank or an internal weld, replace it, as the leak will soon reappear elsewhere. The reality is that no one changes it. Technical services often don't advise it and owners are unaware of its existence. When we conduct a first inspection of a water heater over five years old, the anode is almost always completely consumed. Almost no one knows it exists, but it's the part that adds the most life to the water heater. It's a magnesium rod inside the tank that attracts corrosion to itself instead of allowing it to attack the tank walls. It gets consumed over time. When it's fully depleted, corrosion starts eating away at the tank, and from then on, every year counts. We replace ours every four or five years in hard water areas. Reasonable cost and easily extends the appliance's life by ten more years.

Materials and Brands

Oversizing penalises your electricity bill because the appliance spends more keeping a volume hot that you never use. Undersizing leads to cold showers at the end of the family's morning routine. We calculate your needs before proposing a model. Water in the 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 starting to cause serious problems. Compared to an identical water heater installed in soft water areas like Galicia or northern Catalonia, where it lasts twelve or fifteen years without issues, the difference is significant and ultimately impacts your wallet. 30 days on labour and the official manufacturer's warranty on the installed appliance.

Indicative pricing

The price for water heater and boiler services in Sant Gervasi - Galvany typically ranges between 59 and 420 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting any work. For holiday apartments or small properties without a gas connection, an electric water heater is the only reasonable option. For chalets or homes with natural gas available, the choice between a larger capacity electric unit and a combi gas boiler depends on family consumption and the current price of gas versus electricity. If the leak reappears at the same spot within 30 days, we will return at no extra cost.
