If your home in Wellsburg suddenly loses hot water, start with the basics — check that the breaker hasn’t tripped and the pilot light is still on. If you’ve ruled those out, it’s time to call Honest Fix Heating, Cooling & Plumbing. Our licensed technicians handle diagnostics, repair, and installation with same-day service, clear pricing, and 10-year warranty protection on all new systems.
Wellsburg’s older homes near Pleasant Avenue, Charles Street, and the Town Square area often have stone foundations and narrow basements that make water heater access difficult. Add in river humidity and hard groundwater, and corrosion becomes a yearly battle. When winter lows hit the Ohio Valley, cold inlet water pushes aging systems past their limits. Honest Fix provides straightforward repairs and replacements designed for Brooke County homes — safe, efficient, and fully guaranteed.
Our team begins by testing the heating elements, thermostats, and gas controls to pinpoint the cause. For electric systems, we reset breakers and replace failed components; for gas systems, we clean or replace thermocouples and ensure combustion safety. Most “no hot water” issues are solved the same day. Flat-rate repairs typically range from $200 to $450 and include a five-year labor warranty under our Service Trust Guardian coverage.
When a tank leaks or rusts through, repair isn’t an option — replacement is. Honest Fix installs high-efficiency gas, electric, and tankless units suited to Wellsburg’s home layouts, including low-clearance models for tight basements. Every installation includes a 10-year parts and labor warranty through our Lifetime Trust Shield. All work is performed neatly, to code, and without hidden fees — because we fix it the thorough way, not the fast way.
Why do Wellsburg water heaters wear out so quickly?
River humidity and hard water combine to corrode tanks and fittings faster than in drier climates.

Yes. We specialize in low-clearance, compact installations ideal for historic Wellsburg homes.
