"I am amazed! We contacted or tried to contact a few local plumbers to help us with our DIY bathroom redo. We knew we needed a pro but finding one was harder than we thought. We had some look at the job and wanted to replace all working piping with new, would not return calls, couldn’t seem to fit us in, or just was a no-show for the appointment. Not only did Campbells Plumbing LLC return our calls quickly, but showed up and did an amazing job! They are honest, are hard workers, provide great customer service, so we highly recommend them. We will call them instead of trying to DIY plumbing again!"

Stumps HVAC LLC is your local Heating and A/C company known for Dependability, Honesty, and Quality. As a new small business we recognize our customers satisfaction is the most important thing to further our success. For any residential/commercial Heating and A/C replacements, service, or repairs give us a call.

"Brandon Stump runs his own small business, and we experienced the advantages of that. He did the estimate, then he and helpers did the work. He gave us a detailed evaluation of the old system, and explained what needed to be removed. So there were no misunderstandings. He is clearly knowledgeable of the industry. He provided clear details of what could be done and gave us three alterative estimates. Our old house offered some challenges. When there were difficulties getting to the under-the-house crawl space wiring, then in removing attic aged equipment, he worked until the problems were solved. That took extra labor and I offered to pay more, but he was not going to charge more than the estimate he gave. I thought that to be very generous. Also on those hot days, he immediately brought in a window air conditioner to tide us over while the whole-house AC had to be shut off. That was great! In contrast the man giving the estimate from the larger company did not really look at our system, offered only one option that he suggested, and was not offering to remove old equipment that was in the attic area or the outside oil tank. Stumps gave us fast, honest, reliable and thoughtful service. We will continue to have them service our new system. I highly recommend them."

Water heater services FAQs

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.
