Emergency Water Heater FAQs
Answers on emergency shutoffs, replacement costs, and Alaska code compliance.
1) Locate the cold water shut-off valve on the pipe going into the top of your water heater and turn it clockwise (or turn a ball-valve lever 90 degrees). 2) Shut off the gas control valve (turn dial to OFF) or flip the electric water heater breaker OFF at your main panel. 3) Call Anchor Services Alaska at (907) 250-9156 for 24/7 water extraction and same-day tank replacement.
Yes. Many Alaska homes use indirect water heaters heated by a hydronic boiler zone (such as Amtrol Boilermate or Burnham Alliance) or Navien tankless heaters. We stock zone circulators, aquastats, mixing valves, and descaling pumps to restore hot water fast. Call (907) 250-9156.
Yes. Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) plumbing code requires a thermal expansion tank on closed water systems, double seismic earthquake strapping, a code-compliant T&P relief discharge tube, and an exhaust draft hood check. Anchor Services Alaska installs every water heater 100% to Alaska code.
