Water Heater Installation

Local plumbers in our network handle both tank and tankless water heater installs, from sizing and removing the old unit to setting and connecting the new one. They also take care of related work like replacing a worn anode rod, thermostat, heating element or burner, and T&P valve, and they'll flush out sediment when servicing an existing unit. Whether you're replacing an aging tank or upgrading to tankless, they cover the full job.

Minor things like relighting a pilot or adjusting a thermostat setting are reasonable to try yourself. But anything involving the tank itself, gas connections, or wiring should go to a pro, especially if you see water at the base. A leaking tank can flood a utility closet and fail without warning, so when in doubt, bring in a licensed plumber.

Costs vary based on the type of unit, its size, and how much new venting or plumbing the install needs. A standard tank water heater installed typically runs $1,000 to $2,500, while a tankless system runs $2,500 to $5,500 because of the added gas and venting work. Our pros provide an upfront estimate before any work begins.
