When he and one other worker arrived he was very nice and polite. He asked what the problem was and then took a look. There was a very small hole in one of the pipes leading into the water heater. Now, my house has a stacked water heater/ HVAC setup and there isn't a lot of room to work. Robert was able to perform the work without cutting through the drywall saving me additional costs and repairs. Once the leak was repaired they measured the water pressure at the street and in the house and it was very high. They replaced the pressure regulator valve. All in all they completed both jobs in right at two hours. They cleaned up the areas very thoroughly and were just great to have help out. I will definitely call Robert when I need him again!

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Empire, AL
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.
