Replacing a water heater is more than swapping one tank for another. The new unit needs to be sized to your household, connected with the right fittings, vented correctly if it burns gas and fitted with the safety parts local rules require, such as an expansion tank, drain pan or seismic straps where needed. We start by looking at your current setup and how much hot water you use, then walk you through tank and tankless options in plain terms. On install day the old heater is drained and disconnected, the new one is set and connected, and we fill it, light or power it and check for leaks before showing you the controls.

Water heater replacement: common questions
Should I switch to a tankless water heater?
Tankless heaters save space and provide continuous hot water, but they can need gas line, venting or electrical changes. We compare both options for your home before you decide.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater?
Many cities require one. Requirements vary, and we can tell you what applies where you live.
