No hot water is a same-day call — we route it that way. Berne Appliance Repair services electric and gas tank water heaters and tankless units across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach: single-family homes, condos, and townhouses. Flat $59 diagnostic applied to the repair, a 4.79-star record across 1,199 reviews, eleven years and 30,300+ jobs behind the trucks. We test the actual failure — element, thermostat, gas valve, or scale — and quote in writing before touching a part.
Brands we service
Tank: Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, State, GE, and Kenmore — electric and gas. Tankless: Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, Bosch, and the electric units all over South Florida condos — Titan, EcoSmart, and Stiebel Eltron. If your condo runs a Titan SCR2 in a closet, we know it well.
Common water heater problems — symptom, cause & fix
No hot water at all (electric)
A tripped breaker, a burned-out heating element, or a failed thermostat. An element tests in minutes with a meter; we carry the common 4500W elements and thermostats on the truck, so most electric no-heat calls finish in one visit.
No hot water at all (gas)
A pilot that will not stay lit is a thermocouple; no ignition at all is the gas control valve or igniter. We test the sequence end to end and replace the failed part, not the whole assembly on a guess.
Hot water runs out fast
On electric tanks it is almost always the bottom element or its thermostat — the tank heats only the top half. A broken dip tube does the same thing by mixing cold water in at the top. Both are inexpensive against the cost of a new tank.
Rumbling, popping, or a heater that takes forever to recover
Sediment. South Florida water leaves a mineral layer that buries the burner or lower element. A flush restores recovery speed; if the sediment has already killed the element we do both in one visit.
Tankless unit throwing error codes or running lukewarm
Scale buildup on the heat exchanger, a fouled inlet filter, or a flow sensor. Tankless units here need descaling on a schedule the manuals write for softer water than ours. We descale, clear the code, and set a realistic service interval.
Leaking from the top, the valve, or the tank itself
Top fittings and the T&P relief valve are repairable. Water from the tank seam is not — that is a replacement, and we say so at diagnosis instead of selling you a repair that will not hold.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you come out if I have no hot water?
Same-day in most of the Tri-County area if you call (754) 345-4515 before noon. Cold showers do not wait well and we know it.
Repair or replace — how do you decide?
Age and where the water is coming from. A tank under ten years with a failed element or valve is a repair. A tank leaking from the seam, or one past twelve years needing a major part, is a replacement — we quote both numbers and let you do the math with us.
Do you handle condo tankless units?
Yes — Titan, EcoSmart, and Stiebel Eltron electric units are a big share of our water heater work. Flow sensors, triacs, and scale are the usual suspects.
My water smells like sulfur — can you fix that?
Usually the anode rod reacting with our water. Swapping the magnesium rod for an aluminum-zinc one clears the smell in a day or two.

We recently had Berne Appliance Repair service our fridge. The technician was great and did an amazing job defrosting and cleaning the internal parts of the fridge. It's working like brand new!
