"What I liked about water heater plus is that the person I contacted clearly explained all of the options to me. He did not try to convince me to take any route in particular; he encouraged me to do what would be best for me financially at the time. I ended up replacing my old water heater and I think that was the best decision. The technician efficiently replaced my old water heater."

"Mathew Greene was truly outstanding! Highly responsive to a request for a quote, and accurately estimated the work. Excellent communication around scheduling. We have an old home, and replacing the water heater was not straightforward, but he did an excellent job. Left the area cleaner than when he arrived and hauled the old water heater away. Honestly, I couldn't be happier and will not hesitate to contact him next time I need plumbing work. Thank you!"

"We had our furnace and air conditioner replaced by Logan recently. I cannot say we have ever had a better experience, start to finish. From the office staff, to Jeff M. our technician, and the installers, Shane D. and Daniel C.. they were top notch. After extensive research, we knew we wanted a Trane system. After our first quote, we were very impressed by and ready to go with the first company we talked to, but we wanted to do our due diligence and get more quotes. We couldn't imagine changing our minds until Jeff M. came to our house. He blew the other company out of the water in every way! By the end of the purchasing process we felt complete assurance that we were getting the best system for our needs, and from the best company. Shane and Daniel explained the installation process and the thermostat as they went. They were obviously experts at their trade and couldn't have been nicer. I am at a loss to find anything they could have improved upon. Logan has won many consumer and trade awards, and after working with them it is obvious why. I think this is simply the best HVAC company and they attract the best people to employ. I can't recommend them enough."

"I actually had to call them 3 times before we could sell our house. We had some issues come up. I did used Angie's list for that one. Actually, I take that back they only came out twice. We were having water heater issues. We had to buy a new water heater from another company. Then, I couldn't replace the water heater because the floor drain was clogged. So we had to call them out again for the floor drain. I really liked them. I think their price is pretty reasonable."

"I had been quoted an unbelievable amount of money to replace my water heater by a larger company because of changes in the dimensions of the tank and where it was situated in my condominium. And it didn’t include the money to purchase the tank. I went to Home Advisor to seek another opinion. I provided the information about my circumstances. Within 5 minutes Dwight Davis called me . He was out the next day, inspected the area and quoted me a price of $600 less to install the water heater. It made my day! And the very next day, my water heater was installed. Very responsible, polite and respectful service. I always like to support local businesses. I appreciate their personal service."

Customers say: Super punctual

"I called Jack L Woods Plumbing Company on 3/25/2017 about replacing our leaking gas water heater. They set up a job appointment for 3/28/2017. The two expert technicians arrived on time, removed the old gas water heater and a fair amount of old plumbing, and then furnished and installed a Bradford White 40-gallon gas Power Vent water heater (including setting up the required Columbus City permit, with the successful city inspection being done later on 4/12/2017). This installation included installing a water heater safety pan with drain, and replacing the existing water heater expansion tank. These two did a solid, efficient, and complete job, and were very personable and professional. They and this company were very honest and have excellent customer service. We would definitely use Jack L Woods Plumbing Company again."

Water Heater Service 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.
