"Chris Cash and his assistant Hunter replaced my underground water service line on 10/27/25. Both were a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them both for all of your plumbing needs. Chris knows how to take care of his customers and exceeded my expectations again & again!"

"The 5 star ratings today were for Gregâ s repair of moldy caulk and his help in educating us on the proper way to care for our shower. Greg was great and we feel better going forward, no thanks to wrong and misleading information we got from the sales staff and other contacts. We were actually told to use a KFC bucket and throw water on it to clean the shower. And the vinegar and water suggestion is NOT adequate."

"I had a water heater in need of replacement. I discovered the issue late afternoon 11/6/25. Kevin immediately put together an invoice based on pictures and my own description. He showed up this morning at 9:00 am, was very friendly and professional, and the work is done less than 24 hours later. It is now noon on 11/7/25 as I write this. The quality is up to par, and even exceeds what you see with larger base contractors. The pricing is fair and competitive, and the punctuality is solid. I would strongly recommend Kevin and company to anyone looking for quality and competitively priced work. Also the fact that he is a small local business makes it that much better. Thank you Kevin!"

"McKenzie Plumbing was great. I called after business hours thinking I would get their answering machine. Instead, I spoke with one of their plumbers. I explained my problem and he said he had that part on his truck and he could come by the same evening. The pluymber showed up around 10:30 pm and fixed my water heater. He did not charge overtime/after-hour rates. I was impressed and appreciative. Highly recommended!"

"James Cress Jr Water Pump Company came out to check my well and give me an estimate on work to be performed. He was punctual with his appointment with me. He replaced my pump in the well and I am one satisfied customer. I will call him again. I will be referring him to family and friends. I was satisfied with the hob and the cost was reasonable."

FAQs for water heater service projects in Pinehurst, NC

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.
