Water heater repair and cleaning in Chișinău, in every sector
Water heater repair and cleaning in Chișinău: we clear the limescale out of your electric water heater, replace the anode, the element or the valve, and find out why the heater leaks or won't heat the water. We repair Ariston, Tesy and other makes. For cleaning or a repair we come in the daytime, at the agreed time, and if the heater is leaking badly, the plumber arrives in 45-60 minutes. You get the price once we've found the cause, before the repair starts.
The callout is free if our plumber does the repair.

Water heater problems we fix
We work on electric water heaters, vertical, horizontal and under-sink, of any make.
- The heater leaks from the safety valve, and it's more than a few drops while heating
- Water drips from under the heater's bottom cover
- The heater won't heat the water, even though the light is on
- The heater won't switch on, or it trips the breaker in the fuse box
- The water takes longer to heat than it used to, and the heater rumbles like a kettle
- Hot water comes out of the tap rusty or smelly
- The heater hasn't been descaled for several years
- The magnesium anode hasn't been replaced since the heater was fitted
A heater whose tank itself leaks can't be repaired, only replaced; the control boards of heaters with a display are repaired by the brand's service centre, and we don't work on gas water heaters.
Water heater cleaning and repair prices
The callout is free if you go ahead with the repair through our plumber. If you decline, the diagnosis costs 150 lei. We buy the anode, element, thermostat or gasket to match your model and show you the receipt.
How we clean and repair a water heater
-
What the heater is doing
Call or message us with what the heater is doing: leaking, not heating or making a noise. A photo of the heater's label, with the make, the model and the litres, helps us bring the right anode and gasket.
-
What it starts from
From your description you hear what the descaling or repair starts from, and we pick a day and time.
-
We find the cause
The plumber checks the valve, the element and the thermostat, tells you what has failed and gives you the exact price before the repair.
-
We drain and open the heater
We switch off the power, shut off the water, drain the heater and take out the bottom flange with the element and the anode. We clear the limescale from the tank and the element and replace whatever is worn.
-
We refill and test
We put the flange back with a new gasket, fill the heater until the air is out, switch it on and check that nothing leaks. We clean up after ourselves, and the work comes with a guarantee.
Why does a water heater leak or stop heating?
A few drops from the safety valve while the heater warms up are normal: that's how the extra pressure gets out. If water runs from the valve all the time, the valve is worn or scaled up, or the water pressure in the building is too high and a pressure reducer is needed. Water dripping from under the bottom cover usually comes from the flange gasket. If the tank itself leaks, rust has most often eaten through it because the anode wasn't replaced in time.
When a heater won't heat the water, the element has usually burnt out or the safety thermostat has cut out. If the light is on and the water stays cold, the element is the usual culprit. If the heater takes longer and longer and hisses, the element is coated in limescale and the heater needs descaling.
If the heater is leaking, unplug it, close the cold water tap at its inlet and call us. If it's just heating more slowly, we book the descaling for a day that suits you.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a water heater be descaled?
Usually once every one or two years, and more often the harder the water and the more the heater is used. We check the magnesium anode at every descaling and replace it once it's used up, usually at the same time. If the heater is under warranty, read the warranty card first for what the manufacturer asks: some makes want the anode replaced every year.
Do you replace the anode and the element?
Yes, and the thermostat and the flange gasket too. We match them to the make and model on the heater's label, because elements differ in power and fixing: some screw in, others mount on the flange. If parts for an old model can no longer be found, the plumber tells you whether a repair is still worth it or a new heater makes more sense.
Do you repair Ariston and Tesy heaters?
Yes, and the other makes sold here, such as Electrolux, Gorenje or Thermex. If the heater is still under warranty, call the shop or the brand's service centre first: if someone else opens it, the warranty may be lost.
