Professional Water Heater Repair in Northwest Ohio
Nothing ruins your morning faster than a cold shower. At Rick's Affordable Heating & Cooling, we've been providing fast, professional water heater services throughout Northwest Ohio for over 35 years. Whether your tank water heater is leaking, your tankless unit is throwing an error code, or you simply have no hot water — we diagnose and fix it.
$90 Diagnostic Fee
Our thorough diagnostic covers thermostat, heating element, dip tube, anode rod, pressure relief valve, and overall tank condition. We explain what's wrong and give you an upfront price before any work begins.
Northwest Ohio's hard water accelerates sediment buildup inside your tank, reducing efficiency and shortening its lifespan. Most water heaters in this area last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance. Our factory-trained technicians service all major brands including Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Carrier, Goodman, and more — both tank and tankless models.
Whether you're in Maumee, Sylvania, Perrysburg, or Toledo — we'll get your hot water back fast. Need water heater repair in Toledo specifically? We've got a dedicated team.

What Our Customers Say
Ian, Dylan, Ryland, and Brenden made the entire experience wonderful and completely painless. We had both our central air conditioner and furnace replaced. Considerable pricing and extrodinarily professional.
Tiffany C
Is getting new flooring and found a soft spot in my subfloor. They pulled up the old flooring and the ac had leaked all over and caused an issue. Called Rick's and they sent someone out right away. Unfortunately it meant the whole AC coil and condenser had to be replaced. Rick's gave me a fantastic price and installed two days later. Justin, Jesse and Bryce came out and they were not only nice to me, but to my cats as well.
Jill Yawberg
We recently had a new furnace and AC unit installed by Jesse and Bryce. They did a fantastic job! They showed up on time, were professional and very respectful of our home. They kept us updated as they worked, cleaned up completely after the job and took the time to answer all our questions so we felt comfortable with the new system! Rick himself stopped out during the job to introduce himself and see if we had any questions, which is why we love working with family owned companies! The whole process was prompt and smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Rick's Affordable!
There is nothing about this experience that wasn't great. I could not be happier with the furnace, the installation process or the crew. I had a new furnace and AC installation done and from my perspective it went exactly as it should. Shout out to Jackson, Jesse, Jacob and Rylan for a job well done.
Gerry Davis
Rick's Affordable Heating and Cooling truly saved the day! Our furnace went out on a Saturday, and Ian arrived quickly to help. He was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. I really appreciated how he explained everything he was doing— made the whole process feel easy and transparent.
Daniel Briggs
Rick came out to our home on a Sunday within an hour of us calling, and fixed our problem. Amazing customer service, great honest guy! We will definitely be using them again for any future HVAC needs.
