Since 1967, Eanes Heating and Air Conditioning has been providing high quality heating and cooling products and services across the Piedmont Triad Area of North Carolina. Centrally located in High Point, NC, the Eanes service area covers the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Thomasville, Lexington, Randleman, and all points in between. As a local, family-owned business, Eanes takes great pride in providing trusted advice and straight-talk service on HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance for both commercial and residential applications. Additional phones - (336) 727-0120, (336) 475-8715, (336) 993-6819.(336) 287-0083. Award winning. Additional contact names - Karen Eanes, Angie Eanes.

"The “Comfort Specialist”, aka highly trained salesman, Jared Reeves was very professional and informative. He even came to my house on a Sunday to quote a new AC/furnace system, and he answered several texts with additional questions I had before signing the quote into a contract. The contract laid out, in very clear terms, what equipment would be installed and the labor involved. Unfortunately, that is where Jared’s communication stopped, despite his (and Eanes’) promise to make anything that wasn’t done correctly on the install or the equipment, made right. The day of install started early at 8am and ran long to 9:30pm. I was home the entire day, and I checked in several times to see how the progress was going. The installers were great, but I did have to question (and convince) them to replace the drain pan when they informed me they were not going to put in a new one. A new drain pan was included on the signed quote/contract, as the original was rusted in several spots and clearly needed to be replaced. After convincing them to do that, I noticed that the new return plenum and furnace drop which was included on the signed contract was not being done. When I questioned that, I was told that it was not included on the punch order. Jared (the salesman) and I specifically discussed the new return and plenum during his visit, as the inside of the original return/drop was quite dirty and dusty, naturally and perhaps the M-word (moldy). I did not feel the installers cut corners, but the new return and drop box promised by Jared and included in the contact were a hard “no, that wasn’t part of the plan” from the installers. I sent Jared a text immediately to inform him, but I did not ever hear back. The sale was done, and so it seems was he (despite sitting in my dining room with his sales pitch, promising that anything not done right would be made so, on his dollar if needed). I emailed Jared and Eanes Customer Service several times over the next week, and I got zero reply. I asked for a refund of the cost of material/labor on the return/drop that was in the contract and not fulfilled. Updated as of 7/30/2024 All issues have been resolved."

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.
