— Common questions

Water Heater Replacement, answered.

How long does installation take?
A standard tank replacement takes 2-3 hours. Tankless conversions may take 4-6 hours due to venting and gas line work, but you'll have hot water the same day.
Should I go tankless?
Tankless saves 20-30% on water heating costs and never runs out of hot water. Higher upfront cost, but it pays back over 5-7 years and lasts nearly twice as long as a tank unit.
What brands do you install?
Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, Rinnai, Navien, and more. We recommend based on your household's specific needs, not our profit margins.
Is there a warranty?
All installations include manufacturer warranty (6-12 years) plus our 2-year labor warranty. If anything fails in that window, parts and labor are fully covered.

— Why trust us

Built on trust, not talk.
