Our Water Heater Replacement Services
We specialize in replacing outdated or broken water heaters with modern, high-efficiency models. Understanding the average lifespan of your water heater can help you plan for a timely replacement—most traditional tank water heaters last between 8 to 12 years, while tankless models can last 20 years or more with the right maintenance.
If you're considering a new water heater, it's helpful to know what to expect in terms of investment. Replacing a water heater—including installation—typically costs between $1,700 and $3,500 but can be as high as $6,000 or more depending on the system you choose.
Several factors influence the total cost, such as the size of the unit (larger tanks for bigger households cost more), the fuel type (gas, electric, or propane), and labor (professional installation is a major component). Additional costs may arise for permits, removing the old unit, or updating plumbing. While higher-efficiency models may have a greater upfront price, they often save money on energy bills over time.
Our process is designed to be seamless, from initial consultation to final installation, ensuring minimal disruption to your home. We'll help you select the right unit for your needs and budget. Here’s a general breakdown:
