Signs You Need a New Water Heater Installation
Many homeowners don’t think twice about how old their water heater is, or when it might need to be replaced. Most people use hot water around 20 times per day in their homes, and so any problem with their water heater causes major inconvenience and disruption of their normal routine. With proper care and proactive water heater maintenance, a water heater can last between eight and 12 years, or up to 20 years if it is a tankless water heater. Eventually, a water heater problem will force you to decide if you should pay for the cost to install a water heater or repair the one you have. If you notice any of these warning signs of a major problem with your water heater, call our team of home service professionals for new water heater installation:
- No hot water, or not enough hot water for your household’s daily needs.
- Water is cloudy, sandy, or rusty.
- Your water heating bill has increased even though you aren’t using more hot water than normal.
- The water smells bad.
- The water heater is making strange noises.
- The pilot light won’t light, or won’t stay lit.
- The water heater is leaking, or you see signs of water damage nearby.
- You’ve paid for frequent water heater repairs over the past few years.
- Your water heater is over 10 years old.
Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater Installation
When you call our team for residential water heater installation, we will help you choose the right water heater for your home. We’ll consider the size of your household, your daily hot water needs, your plans for your home, your goals, and your budget. We offer traditional, hybrid, and tankless water heater installation services. While tankless water heater installation cost may be slightly higher than installation costs of other types of water heaters, a tankless water heater offers additional benefits to homeowners:
- Save space by eliminating the need for a large storage tank.
- Enjoy an endless supply of on-demand hot water.
- Reduce the need for water heater maintenance or repairs.
- Improve the energy efficiency of your home.
- Save up to 30% on your home’s water heating costs.

- Lower your carbon footprint and reduce consumption of non-renewable fuel sources.
Our Residential Water Heater Installation Services
Our team of experienced home service professionals can install water heaters of any size, type, and manufacturer. We will help you consider a variety of factors to determine what type of home water heater is best for your household's needs, and then provide an estimate for new water heater installation costs. We specialize in installing:
- Traditional water heaters – A traditional water heater has a storage tank that can hold between 30 and 60 gallons of water. They heat water using natural gas, fuel oil, electricity, or propane and always have a reserve of hot water available. New, energy-efficient water heater installations can save homeowners up to 7% on their water heating bills.
- Tankless water heaters – A tankless water heater doesn't store hot water in a tank. Instead, water is rapidly heated up on demand as it passes through the unit. A heat exchanger, which runs on electricity, natural gas, or propane, heats water as needed. Tankless water heater installation can save you up to 30% on your home's water heating bills.
- Hybrid water heaters – A hybrid water heater has a small holding tank, but it uses an electric heat pump to heat the water. The heat pump transfers heat from outside the water heater to the inside to provide hot water as needed. A hybrid water heater installation can save you up to 60% on your home’s water heating bills.
