Our family-owned team has served the area since 1985, and we size every new tank so your home doesn't run out of hot water.

Why Choose a Tank Water Heater

Replacing a Water Heater: Tank or Tankless?

Most tank water heaters last 10 to 12 years. When yours is leaking, rusting or running out of hot water, a new tank is usually the quickest fix: an A.O. Smith, Bradford White or Rheem tank fits the same space and uses the existing gas line and venting, and most installations take two to three hours.

If you want hot water that doesn't run out, tankless water heater installation with a wall-mounted Navien unit is the other option. A tankless heater saves floor space and lasts longer, but it often needs a larger gas line and new venting, so it costs more to install. We go over both choices with you and size the replacement to the number of people and bathrooms in your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tank Water Heater Installation

Most tank water heater replacements take two to three hours. Jobs that need new venting, gas line changes, a new location or a switch from electric to gas take longer. We inspect your plumbing and your gas or electrical connections first, so you know what the job involves before we start.

The right size depends on how many people live in your home and your peak hot water use, such as several showers running back to back. Many families need a 40- to 50-gallon tank, and larger households may need more. We assess your hot water needs and recommend the right capacity before installation.

A tankless water heater generally lasts longer: 20 years or more with regular maintenance, compared with roughly 10 to 12 years for a typical tank. A tank costs less up front and is simpler to replace. We install both, so we can help you weigh the up-front cost against the longer lifespan.

In most North Shore communities, yes. Replacing a water heater generally requires a permit and inspection from your city or village, which confirms the venting, gas or electrical connection and relief valve are installed safely. Requirements vary by town, so confirm with your municipality before work begins.

Often, yes, if natural gas is available at your home. The switch needs a gas line run to the water heater location and proper venting, which adds to the installation work. We evaluate your gas line availability and venting options and recommend whether switching makes sense for your home and budget.
