"Communication before the appointment was great. Service tech called prior to arrival and was right on time. He took his time to ***** the situation and gave his honest opinion on whether or not tankless was a good idea for my unit. Just what I was looking for."

"Ruben is a great guy. We had issues with the first water heater (brand new). The manufacturer and distributor are not helpful in pinning down the problem â it took three weeks to finally fix the â brand newâ Bradford White water heater (I canâ t believe this). However, Ruben closely worked with me and spent lots of effort to get this done. I really appreciated his patience and effort. I will hire him again in the future."

"Amazing experience with this contractor and I would hire them again and here's why: extremely responsive to initial call and all follow-up phone calls, they were on-site every time they were scheduled, very communicative and took the time to explain the process and send photos, their prices were competitive and they were fair and pleasant to deal with."

"I have recommended Sabir to all my family, which all 10 used him and all are very satisfied!! We've all recommended him to our friends, family, and co-workers. I'm the Educational Director at a Parent Participation Preschool and Sabir manages all our plumbing needs. I also recommended him to my brothers Adult Center, they had a plumbing emergency and were trying to contact plumbers, with no luck. Sabir came right away and took care of their plumbing emergency :) I'm so grateful for Sabir, he always makes himself available, gives expert advice, excellent service, is wonderful to work with, and continues to amaze me with his knowledge and professionalism. Sabir's plumbing service is overall the best in all aspects and I will continue to recommend him to my community and any business in need."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to replace a water heater is around $1,325, with a typical range of $900 to $1,800 for a standard replacement. The final price depends on the type of heater (tank vs. tankless), its size, fuel source (gas or electric), and the complexity of the installation. A simple one-to-one replacement will be on the lower end of the cost spectrum. However, if you are switching from one type of heater or energy source to another, you can expect labor costs to be significantly higher due to the extra work involved. It's also worth considering that while gas and electric heaters may have similar upfront costs, their long-term operating costs can differ based on local utility prices.

Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.

The amount of time it takes to replace an electric water heater will depend on the skill level of the individual who is replacing it. For example, if you replace it yourself–and you don’t have much experience–you can expect the project to take a full day. 

However, if you have a certified plumber or water heater contractor install your new water heater, it can take as little as 2 to 3 hours.

Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.
