Water Heater Replacement
When the tank is leaking or the heater is worn out, we talk through a replacement that fits the house — not a one-size pitch.
When replacement is the honest answer
If water is coming from the body of the tank, replacement is the job. The same is usually true of a heater that has been repaired more than once, that can no longer keep up with the house, or that puts rust into the hot water.
A replacement isn't just "set the new one where the old one was." The location, the fuel, the venting on a gas unit, the electrical circuit on an electric unit, the pan and drain, and the path out of a tight closet all matter. We'll look at your setup and talk through what the job involves, including what happens to the old tank.
What we talk through before a replacement
Size and use
How many people use hot water, and how the house uses it, matters more than picking a number off a website. We'll talk through it with you.
Gas or electric
Replacements usually stay on the same fuel the house already has. Changing fuel types is a bigger conversation, and not one we push from a web page.
Where it sits
Garage, closet or outdoor enclosure changes how the work goes and what code items (a pan, a drain, clearances) come into play at your address.
We don't quote a price here and we don't name a brand to buy. Our trip charge is credited toward your repair when you go ahead with the work. If you already have a unit in mind, say so when you call.
Replacement questions
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced?
A tank that is leaking water from the tank itself usually needs to be replaced, not patched. An older heater that has already been repaired more than once, that no longer keeps up with the house, or that puts out rusty hot water is also a candidate. We'll look at it and tell you which way we'd go and why.
How much does a water heater replacement cost?
Every install is different. Price depends on the size and type of heater, whether it's gas or electric, where it sits, and what it takes to get the old tank out and the new one in. Call us to talk through your job and pricing. Our trip charge is credited toward your repair when you go ahead with the work.
Do you work on gas and electric water heaters?
We work on residential water heaters in the homes we serve. When you call, tell us whether yours is gas or electric, where it sits (garage, closet, outside), and what's going on. We'll let you know what it will take.
