Finding the Right Hot Water Heater For Your Home’s Needs
Not all water heaters are created equal. Each model has its own features, efficiency rating and performance. Here's what to consider before you install.
Household Size
Bigger homes with more fixtures and appliances need larger capacities, like bigger tanks or higher-capacity tankless systems, to keep up with showers, laundry and dishes at once.
Daily Water Usage
The number of people in your home and their habits set your demand. A unit that matches your daily usage runs more efficiently and is less likely to run out of hot water.
Available Space
Tank water heaters take up floor space. Wall-mounted tankless systems need far less room, a great fit for smaller homes, condos or utility closets.
Budget
Weigh upfront and long-term costs. Tank heaters usually cost less to install, while tankless models can save more on energy bills over time.

FAQ
Water Heater Installation FAQ
Common questions about professional water heater installation. Tap a question to see the answer, or find your local PlumbingPro for a quote.
How much does water heater installation cost?
Water heater installation costs vary depending on the type and size of unit, and pricing varies by location. A standard 40 to 50 gallon tank water heater generally costs less to install than a tankless system, and high efficiency or larger capacity models cost more. Other factors that affect the price include removal of the old unit, gas line or electrical modifications, venting requirements, permits, and labor. Your local PlumbingPro will give you a quote before work begins.
How long does water heater installation take?
Standard tank water heater installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours when replacing an existing unit with similar specifications. Tankless water heater installations take 4 to 8 hours. More complex installations requiring gas line upgrades, electrical panel modifications, new venting, or code compliance updates may take a full day. Most installations are completed in a single visit, at a time scheduled with your local PlumbingPro, so you can have hot water restored quickly.
What brands of water heaters do you install?
PlumbingPro technicians install all major water heater brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, State, Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, Takagi, Bosch, American Standard, and Kenmore, in gas and electric models and various capacities. They can help you select the best water heater for your household size, budget, energy efficiency goals, and available space with honest expert recommendations.
Do you remove and dispose of old water heaters?
Removal and disposal of your old water heater is usually part of a PlumbingPro installation; your local PlumbingPro will confirm what your quote includes. The old unit, gas or electric, is safely disconnected, drained, removed from your home, and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner following local regulations, and the installation area is cleaned up so your new water heater is ready to use.
What permits are required for water heater installation?
Most areas require permits for water heater installation to ensure work meets local building and safety codes. Permit requirements vary by location and whether you are replacing an existing unit or installing in a new location. Your local PlumbingPro can handle the permit applications, coordinate inspections, and make sure your installation meets current codes for venting, gas connections, electrical work, and safety features like expansion tanks and pressure relief valves. Permit costs are included in your quote.
Do you offer warranties on water heater installation?
Warranty coverage varies by location. Water heaters come with manufacturer warranties on the tank and parts, often ranging from 6 to 12 years depending on the model, and many PlumbingPro locations also offer a workmanship warranty on installation labor. Your local PlumbingPro will explain all warranty coverage before installation begins.
