"Part of the reason we chose them was a deal we saw on the website. However, when they came out to provide a quote, we didn't qualify. Just left a bad taste in my mouth and being able to trust any 'deals' being mentioned in the future. However the service and installation by the installer was excellent. Super nice and thorough. Water heater runs great."

"I had a busted water heater. They were very prompt to respond to my problem. They worked on Saturday to resolve my initial problem. They were very helpful and courteous through the whole process of ordering what I needed and installed it when it got here. I would use them again."

"Gas Tankless Water Heater Installation An excellent service right from our initial inquiry for a quote to completion of the work. The whole process took 14 days. Oleg was very knowledgeable which showed with the advice given and the speed and care he took in his work (heater placement, pipework, venting etc). The space was left clean and tidy. Fast, friendly and efficient. Very professional and great workmanship. Definitely value for money! I’ve no hesitation in recommending Pipedex and will be using them again in the future; the annual inspection has already been scheduled for next year."

"They arrived on time and in a VERY obvious hot pink van (pretty cool). Ken was courteous and answered my questions very clearly and quoted me a reasonable price... far less than I had been quoted by other companies. After a couple of hours, I had a new water heater. They left the work space tidy and I was able to pay right there on the spot with a card. I found out after speaking with the plumber that they are female owned and operated. BONUS!! I will definitely call these guys in the future should anything arise. Ladies, support this business!!"

"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

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.

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.

We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.

Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

One of the primary benefits of a heat pump water heater is how cost-effective it is. How much you save will depend on your water usage and electricity costs. That being said, we can ballpark savings for the average home of between $100 and $500 per year. You can increase that savings rate by researching and applying available energy incentives available in your area. If you really want to focus on cost, consider a tankless water heater.
