"I went on line and stated I was looking for a plumber in my area. I seen a review for Bay City Plumbing..I then stated what the problem was and this information was given to him. Was then asked if the plumbing service could give me a call. I stated yes, and Mr Stan called me immediately.. I stated I was at work and wouldn't be home until late.. He came out late that very evening to look at my faucet.. said he would be back the next evening to get it fixed.. He showed up promptly the next evening and got it fixed promptly.. was very grateful. New faucet, looks great, works great. I will recommend Bay City Plumbing to friends and family."

"At the recommendation of a friend I called Mr. Ken Havard on his cell phone at 7am and explained I had a leak from somewhere behind my kitchen wall. The sheetrock and cabinets were wet and water was seeping up in between the tiles through the grout. He told me he had a full morning but would get to me as soon as possible. He called earlier than I expected and met me at home. He and his employee couldn't have been more professional. He cut the back of the cabinet out under the sink and traced the problem to 60-year-old galvanized and copper pipes which needed to be replaced. This was a quick fix today but I'll be using him to repair/replace all of the disintegrating pipe in the kitchen walls and under the house. He was good about showing me everything he was seeing and explaining what was going on. As a single woman, I really appreciate this. He also showed me what was in good shape didn't need to be replaced. For 2 hours he worked (and prayed under his breath that he wouldn't find anything worse), cleaned up beautifully and presented me with a very reasonable bill for the amount of work he performed. I'm very pleased and highly recommend him.

"They did a great job on the installation of our plumbing services on a tiny home located on our property!"

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.
It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.
It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
