"Jeremy was very responsive and informative. I had a couple of other quotes that involved various iterations of "replace the old water heater and add these other features at the same time", and we were able to talk through the suggestions and determine what was really necessary. The final quote was very competitive, the new water heater is working great, and the installation itself was fast and without any problems that they couldn't solve without me!"

"Such great service!! My water heater went out in my rental property and they were able to hop on the phone with me right away and offer me a quote. Within the next 2 hours someone was at the property - they removed the old water heater and installed a brand new one and were on there way. Cobra Rooter & Plumbing was professional and quick! Will use again in the future."

"My husband is ill and I needed help. My water heater wasn't working so I called High Speed Plumbing. Donald was wonderful ! He arrived earlier than expected and was very personable. He found the problem quickly and replaced the water heater and some electrical problems. I had smelled plastic burning so I was very concerned. I now have hot water and am not concerned about a fire hazard. I would recommend this company and will call Donald the next time I have an issue. Great experience !!"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to install a new water heater is approximately $1,300, with a typical price range between $880 and $1,800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, its location and accessibility, and the amount of labor required. For example, installing a unit in a tight space like a crawl space can increase labor costs. The type of water heater significantly impacts the price: while a conventional gas heater might cost less than $1,000, tankless models can cost around $2,600 to install (and up to $3,500), and solar heaters can cost upwards of $3,700. Other factors that can affect the total price include the fuel type, vent system requirements, permits, and whether any additional plumbing work or repairs from previous water heater damage are needed.

Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.

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.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.

Typically, only a high-efficiency water heater with an inducer fan can be vented outside the house. Otherwise, your water heater needs to be installed on the inside and vented through the roof. However, certain areas may allow a standard-efficiency water heater to be vented outside. Check your local building codes to be sure.
