Signs you need a new water heater
Replacing a water heater before it fails is much easier than dealing with a leak or a cold house full of people.
It's 10+ years old
Most tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years before they start to fail.
The tank is leaking
A leak from the tank itself can't be repaired, and it can flood your basement.
Rusty or discolored water
Rust-colored hot water often means the inside of the tank is corroding.
Not enough hot water
Your household has grown, or the heater can't keep up anymore.
Repairs keep adding up
If it keeps breaking down, a new unit may cost less over time.
Rising energy bills
A new high-efficiency or tankless model can heat water for less.

Tank or tankless?
Find the right fit
Tank water heaters cost less up front and are quick to replace. Power-vent models can be installed where a chimney isn't available.
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, so you never run out. They save space and energy and last longer with yearly maintenance.
We'll recommend the best option for your home and budget during your free estimate.

It depends on the type, size and venting your home needs. We give you a free estimate with a firm, upfront price, and qualifying projects can be financed at 0% APR for up to 24 months.
Tank or tankless: which is better?
A tank water heater costs less up front and is quick to replace. A tankless unit gives you endless hot water, saves space and lasts longer, but costs more to install. We'll help you choose what fits your home and budget.
What size water heater do I need?
It depends on how many people live in your home and how much hot water you use at once. We size it during the estimate so you don't run out of hot water.
How long does installation take?
Most standard tank replacements take just a few hours. Switching to tankless takes longer because it usually needs new venting, gas and water connections.
Which brands do you install?
Any brand you prefer. We install all major brands, including A.O. Smith, Rheem, Ruud and Navien, in standard, power-vent and tankless models.
Do you remove the old water heater?
Yes. We disconnect and haul away your old water heater as part of the installation.
