Q: Do water heater installation laws change in different states?

• <div><p>Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/water-heater-installation/">local water heater installation company</a> and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.</p></div>

Q: How much should it cost to install a hot water heater?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-heater-installation-cost.htm">Water heater replacement costs</a> around $1,300, but a total install will depend on a few factors. Solar heaters can cost upward of $3,700, while conventional gas heaters may cost less than $1,000. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-tankless-water-heater-cost.htm">Tankless water heaters</a>, common in apartments and homes without much space, cost around $2,600 to install. Expect the cost to increase significantly if new plumbing is required, or if there is damage from a previous water heater malfunctioning. </p></div>

Q: Can you switch to a tankless water heater from a heater with a tank?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace a current tank water heater with a tankless model or vice versa. If you&rsquo;re maintaining the same fuel source&mdash;gas or electricity&mdash;the switchover should be smooth. A conventional tank requires open floor space, while a tankless model can be wall-mounted. If you&rsquo;re switching to a tank water heater, you might need to clear space for it. Gas-powered tankless water heaters need a large volume of gas when they start running to heat the water instantly. You might need to increase the size of the gas line when going from a tank to a tankless model.</p></div>

Q: How often should a gas water heater be replaced?

• <div><p>You should replace your gas water heater when it&rsquo;s reached the end of its lifespan, which is a maximum of 12 years in most cases. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency, leaks, or frequent malfunctions, it may be time to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-gas-water-heater.htm">replace your water heater</a>. Research how to best maintain your gas water heater to help extend its lifespan.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value: a heat pump or gas water heater?

• <div><p>While heat pump water heaters are more expensive than gas-powered water heaters, the ROI is higher for heat pump units. Not only are heat pump water heaters more energy efficient, meaning immediate savings on your energy bill, but they also last longer than traditional gas versions, meaning you won't have to buy them as often.</p></div>
