Plumbing Company History - Water Heater Express | Lafayette, Indiana

Our History

Proud to serve our cherished community with 80+ years of plumbing experience.

Our Origins

Opened in 1965, Water Heater Express was founded on the values of integrity, kindness, and a strong work ethic. Originally a family company, Homer Williams (Senior) established the company and faithfully taught his son the tricks of the trade. Plumbing ran in their blood, and soon both father and son were well-known around the Lafayette community for their expertise and friendly service. The duo even taught plumbing at Ivy Tech for 23 years.  In 1981, Homer Williams Jr. took over the company and continued to carry on his father's legacy.

Homer Williams Sr. and Homer Williams Jr. shared a passion for helping people, and that fueled their desire to offer services as personalized and as attentive as possible. One customer even notes that the Homer Williams Jr. came to their home on Christmas Eve when their water heater broke and happily fixed it so the family could enjoy the holidays.

Currently, Jeremy Wheeler is the owner and operator of Water Heater Express. He'll be the one who answers the phone when you need that important fix!

Plumbing Company FAQ

Browse our frequently asked questions for solutions and tips!

Not likely. Modern water heaters are different from those a few decades ago.  They’re safer, more efficient … and more complicated.

There are all kinds of protections put on water heaters today that need to be maintained. People that buy them don’t always know about it.

You probably have a leak somewhere. Even almost undetectable leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water and increase your bill by hundreds of dollars in a short period of time.

Most leaks are caused by worn or misaligned parts. This might be seen in your home as a dripping faucet, a running toilet, a puddle coming from your water heater, or water damage under the sink or elsewhere. If you can’t locate the leak yourself, call Water Heater Express for help.

I cannot sing enough praises for Water Heater Express. Jeremy was prompt, honest, professional, and articulate. I inherited a broken water heater and Jeremy was such a godsend during a sad time for our family. He examined the unit, provided me with an estimate, and fixed it promptly. He didn't try to upsell me or exaggerate a straightforward repair. I will be calling Water Heater Express for ALL of my plumbing needs.

Great service! I called to ask about a malfunctioning water heater, and within 2 hours Jeremy was at my house explaining exactly what the problem was. He was great at communicating with me and explaining my options. When we decided to go ahead and replace the unit, he had the new one installed and working great in no time at all. I was very pleased with his professionalism and commitment to serve the customer!

Outstanding! This is truly a well oiled business. Replaced my daughter's and my water heaters. Jeremy Wheeler is a beast! Former Marine and all business.
