Your morning shower shouldn’t be a gamble. When your water heater fails, you need it fixed fast—not next week when it’s convenient for the contractor.

Water Heater Replacement Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your current setup and discuss your household’s hot water needs. Not every home needs the same size or type of water heater, and we’ll recommend what actually makes sense for your situation.

Next, we provide upfront pricing for the equipment and installation. No surprises, no “additional fees” that magically appear later. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work.

Installation includes proper removal of your old unit, professional installation of the new water heater, and testing to make sure everything works correctly. We handle permits when required and make sure the job meets all local codes. Your old water heater gets disposed of properly—that’s included in the service.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

We install all major types of water heaters—traditional tank units, tankless systems, gas, and electric models. Whether you want to stick with what you had or upgrade to something more efficient, we’ve got you covered.

Every installation includes proper connection to your existing plumbing and electrical or gas lines, testing for leaks and proper operation, and cleanup of the work area. We’re not the type to leave a mess behind.

You get manufacturer warranties on the equipment plus our guarantee on the installation work. If something goes wrong because of how we installed it, we fix it at no charge. Allentown homeowners deal with enough surprises—your water heater service shouldn’t be one of them.

Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s setup and the type of unit being installed. If we’re replacing a tank water heater with another tank unit in the same location, it’s usually on the shorter end. Tankless installations or situations where we need to modify plumbing or electrical connections can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation, and we work efficiently to get your hot water back up and running as quickly as possible.
Tankless water heaters typically cost more upfront—both for the unit itself and installation. However, they last longer than traditional tank units and use less energy, which saves money over time. Tank water heaters have lower initial costs and simpler installation requirements. The right choice depends on your budget, hot water usage patterns, and how long you plan to stay in your home. We’ll break down the real costs and savings for your specific situation so you can make an informed decision.
It depends on the scope of work and local requirements. Simple tank-to-tank replacements in the same location often don’t require permits, but upgrades that involve new gas lines, electrical work, or significant plumbing modifications typically do. We handle permit applications when they’re needed and make sure all work meets Allentown building codes. This protects you from potential issues when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are required for your specific job.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size, hot water usage patterns, and the number of bathrooms and appliances that use hot water. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank unit, but that can vary significantly based on usage habits. Tankless units are sized differently, based on flow rate and temperature rise requirements. We assess your actual needs rather than just replacing what you had before, since your old unit might have been the wrong size to begin with.
We provide emergency water heater service because hot water problems don’t stick to business hours. If your water heater fails on a weekend or holiday, give us a call. We maintain an inventory of common water heater sizes specifically for emergency situations. While emergency service does cost more than regular business hours, we’re upfront about pricing, and we understand that some situations can’t wait until Monday. No one wants to deal with cold showers or disrupted routines any longer than necessary.
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years in New Jersey, while tankless units can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Our local water conditions, usage patterns, and maintenance habits all affect lifespan. If your water heater is approaching 10 years old and starting to show signs of problems, replacement often makes more sense than major repairs. Newer units are more efficient and reliable than older models, and you avoid the inconvenience of unexpected failures when you replace proactively.
