Start with demand

Determining the right fit for your home

Choosing a water heater starts with how your home actually uses hot water. Household size, the number of bathrooms, laundry habits, dishwasher use and daily routines all play a role in selecting a system that keeps up without wasting energy.

Larger households or homes with heavy use may need a higher-capacity tank, while smaller households or those focused on efficiency may benefit from a tankless unit. The wrong size can mean running out of hot water or uneven performance.

Compare the systems

Tank, tankless and hybrid options

Our team installs traditional tank-style water heaters, high-efficiency models, hybrid units and tankless water heaters that provide hot water on demand while saving space. Marathon models are also available.

Each type suits a different combination of space, fuel and household demand. We help you compare the options on comfort, performance and long-term operating considerations, so the choice reflects how your home runs rather than a single feature.

Repair or replace

When a repair may be the better option

Not every hot-water problem calls for a new unit. Our team reviews your current setup, your household's demand and any signs that the existing heater is undersized or nearing the end of its service life.

If a repair makes more sense, we discuss water heater repair before recommending a replacement. If replacement is the better path, we explain why and what the new installation involves.

Install it properly

Why professional installation matters

Installing a water heater is more than connecting pipes. Our plumbers check the connections, venting needs and safety components as part of the installation, which reduces the risk of leaks, inefficient heating and early breakdowns.

We finish with a clean installation and explain how to care for the new unit. Ask about water heater maintenance and our membership if you want routine attention scheduled after the work is complete.

Swap or upgrade

When a heater job involves the Permit Center

The City's 2024 construction codes draw a clear line for water heaters. Replacing a gas heater with one of equal or lower BTU rating, or an electric heater with one of equal or lower amperage, is exempt from a permit when a licensed contractor does the work and the electrical, mechanical and plumbing connections stay as they are. That covers many straight swaps of a failed tank. Moving the heater or changing what it connects to falls outside that wording.

An upgrade usually changes something: a tank-to-tankless conversion, a bigger gas line, new venting or a new spot in the garage. The exemption does not mention those, so check with the Permit Center first. It accepts residential water heater permits online and issues most of them the same day when a complete submittal arrives by 2 p.m., and it invites anyone unsure whether a project needs a permit to ask. We can build that step into the schedule.

Pricing a heater job

What moves the price of water heater work

Heater work is priced from what the inspection finds and what a new unit needs to run properly. These are the factors that move a quote up or down.

For a replacement, GreenSky® financing can spread the cost over time. Preventative maintenance members get a yearly water heater flush and 10% off plumbing services.

  • Repair or replacement, and which part has failed.
  • Tank, tankless or hybrid, and gas or electric.
  • Whether the swap is like-for-like or changes the size, type or location.
  • Gas line, venting or electrical work the new unit needs.
  • Flushing or descaling needed because of mineral buildup.

Our 12 year old water heater was leaking. I called and spoke with Shelby who was able to dispatch a technician immediately, same day… Tyler arrived on time, worked efficiently and cleaned up after himself.

Ask our team
How do I know what size water heater I need?

Size depends on household size, bathrooms, laundry and dishwasher use and daily routines. We review your hot-water demand before recommending a capacity or type.

Is a tankless water heater right for every home?

Not always. Tankless units heat water on demand and save space, but the fit depends on your household's usage and the existing setup. We compare tank, tankless and hybrid options with you.

Can you upgrade a tank heater to tankless?

Yes. We install tankless water heaters as upgrades from traditional tanks. The installation needs to account for the home's connections, venting and available space.

Do you repair water heaters as well as install them?

Yes. If a repair is the better option for your unit, we discuss it before recommending a replacement.

Can a water heater be replaced here without a permit?

Yes, in one case. The City's 2024 codes exempt a replacement of equal or lower rating, installed by a licensed contractor, with no change to its electrical, mechanical or plumbing connections. For anything else, check with the City's Permit Center.

How does the local water affect a tankless heater?

The City says calcium and magnesium occur naturally in its groundwater. In a tankless unit, those minerals build scale on the heat exchanger, so plan for periodic descaling, or soften the water before it reaches the heater.
