If you’ve lived in Moscow for a while, you know what it’s like when the temperature drops below freezing and your shower suddenly runs cold. Around here, hot water isn’t just comfort. It’s essential. When your water heater gives out, it throws your whole day off.
At America NW Plumbing, we’re your local team for everything water heater related in Moscow and the surrounding areas. We know how the weather, the water quality, and the age of homes around here all play a role in how long your system lasts. Whether your water heater needs a quick repair, a full replacement, or just a good flush, we’ll get it done right, right away.
We handle every kind of water heater job for homes and businesses in the Moscow area:
Water Heater Repair: From leaks and loud pops to lukewarm water and total breakdowns, we’ll figure out what’s going on and fix it efficiently.
Water Heater Replacement: If your old unit has seen better days, we’ll help you choose a reliable new model that fits your home’s setup and budget.
Water Heater Installation: We install both tank-style and tankless water heaters, including all major brands. Every job is done to code with proper safety checks.
Tankless Water Heater Service: We service, repair, and install high-efficiency tankless units like Rinnai, Navien, Rheem, and others.
Preventive Maintenance: Annual flushing and inspection help prevent sediment buildup and extend your water heater’s life, especially important in Moscow’s hard-water areas.
Water heaters around here have a tough life. The cold winters make them work harder, and our mineral-heavy water creates sediment inside the tank faster than most people expect. Over time, that buildup makes your heater less efficient, noisier, and more likely to fail.
We’ve seen heaters last barely eight years simply because nobody flushed them out. On the other hand, we’ve seen others go strong for over a decade with just a bit of regular maintenance.
A quick yearly service or adding a water softener can go a long way. Most homeowners don’t think about it until they’re out of hot water, but that’s what we’re here for — to help before it gets that far.
When we show up, we won’t throw a bunch of technical jargon at you. We’ll explain what’s wrong, what your options are, and what we’d do if it were our own home.
We also believe in being upfront about pricing. Before we touch a wrench, you’ll know exactly what the repair or replacement will cost. No hidden fees, no fine print, and no pressure to buy something you don’t need. That’s how we’ve always done it, and that’s why homeowners in Moscow keep calling us back.
Moscow’s winters regularly dip below 20°F, which can stress older heaters and uninsulated water lines. The city’s mineral-rich aquifer also contributes to scale and sediment buildup, which is why we recommend annual flushes and anode rod checks.
Our team specializes in solutions designed for North Idaho’s climate — from insulation upgrades to high-efficiency tankless systems that handle colder inlet temperatures without issue.
We’re local plumbers who actually live and work in the area
If your water heater’s acting up or you’re worried it might not survive another Moscow winter, give us a call. We’ll send one of our local technicians who knows the area, respects your time, and fixes the problem right the first time.

Adjusting water pressure.Posted on Tom HockettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend these guys. I had a water leak in my guest bath and the gas furnace had to be removed to complete the repair. They removed the furnace, replumbed the guest bathroom, replumbed the water for the wash machine and installed a new dishwasher in for me for a great price. Zach, one of their furnace techs is an awesome guy, friendly, courteous and get things done quickly.Posted on CarolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Val, Manny and Zach were fantastic. I won't ever use anyone else. They are friendly, professional, caring and do great work. Their prices are very fair. They don't try to gouge you, not even desperate old ladies. I don't consider them as just my plumbers. I consider them friends. Great job guys.Posted on Matt SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Valerie came to our house on a service call for an issue with our hot water heater. She diagnosed the issue in a few minutes and informed my wife that there was nothing wrong with the water heater. She took the time to explain her troubleshooting process and also educated my wife on the need to purge the heater at least once a year to avoid issues down the road. We highly recommend America N.W. if you have a plumbing issue in your home!Posted on Holly BehrensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Val and Manny were awesome! I had a horrible experience with a plumber from Gold Seal. He was rude, condescending and marked up the price way more than it should have been. I ended up asking him to leave. I just needed help connecting a natural gas line. Val and Manny from America NW plumbing were kind, quick and even double checked the line again at the end. The price was half the price from what Gold seal jerk had said! I would definitely go with America NW plumbing again! Thank you for a much better experience!Posted on Manuel LunaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top notch service.
