New Water Heater Installation

Reliable Hot Water Every Day

You shouldn’t have to time your showers around everyone else’s schedule. A properly sized and installed water heater gives you consistent hot water when you need it, whether that’s back-to-back showers on busy mornings or filling the tub after a long day.

The right water heater also stops those surprise cold water jolts and eliminates the guesswork about whether you’ll have enough hot water for dishes after someone’s shower. You get predictable performance that matches how your family actually uses hot water.

Modern water heaters run more efficiently too, which means lower energy bills each month. You’re not just fixing a problem – you’re upgrading to better performance that saves money over time.

You get options for both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems, with gas and electric models available depending on your home’s setup and preferences. Each installation includes testing all connections, checking for proper operation, and explaining the warranty coverage.

Farmingdale homes often need specific considerations for venting or electrical requirements, especially in older properties. Our technicians come prepared with the right equipment and experience to handle these local installation challenges without delays or surprises.

Most standard water heater replacements take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s setup and whether any additional work is needed for gas lines, electrical connections, or venting. If you’re switching from a tank to tankless system or need significant plumbing modifications, it might take longer. Emergency replacements can often be completed the same day when units are in stock. Our technician will give you a realistic timeframe after evaluating your specific situation and let you know about any factors that might extend the installation time.
The choice usually comes down to what’s already available in your home and your priorities for operating costs versus upfront investment. Gas water heaters typically heat water faster and cost less to operate monthly, but require proper venting and gas line access. Electric water heaters have lower upfront costs and easier installation in many cases, but higher operating expenses over time. If your home already has gas service and proper venting, gas often makes more sense long-term. Our technician can evaluate your specific setup and explain the real costs and benefits for your situation.
Tankless water heaters work well if you want unlimited hot water, have limited space, or want maximum energy efficiency. They’re particularly good for homes with high hot water demand or families who frequently run out of hot water with traditional tanks. However, they have higher upfront costs and may require electrical or gas line upgrades depending on your home’s current setup. If you rarely run out of hot water and want the most economical option, a high-efficiency tank water heater might be the better choice. The decision should be based on your actual usage patterns and budget, not just the latest technology.
Water heater sizing depends on your household’s peak hot water usage, not just the number of people. A family of four with typical usage usually needs a 40-50 gallon tank, but factors like multiple bathrooms, large soaking tubs, or high-efficiency appliances can change requirements. Our technician looks at your current usage patterns, the number of bathrooms, and appliances that use hot water to recommend the right size. Getting the wrong size means either running out of hot water regularly or paying to heat more water than you actually use. Proper sizing ensures you have adequate hot water without wasting energy.
Yes, emergency water heater replacement is available when your unit fails completely or creates safety concerns like gas leaks or flooding. Same-day service is often possible when replacement units are in stock and the installation doesn’t require major modifications to your home’s systems. Emergency situations get priority scheduling, though you might pay premium rates for after-hours or weekend service. If your water heater is leaking or you smell gas, shut off the unit and call immediately. Even in emergencies, you’ll get upfront pricing before work begins, so there are no surprises on urgent repairs.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for water heater replacement in Farmingdale and ensure the installation meets local building codes. This includes proper venting for gas units, electrical connections that meet code requirements, and any other regulatory compliance needed for your specific installation. Some installations require inspections, which we coordinate as part of the service. Working with licensed professionals means you don’t have to navigate permit requirements yourself or worry about code violations that could cause problems later. All permit costs are included in the upfront estimate, so you know the total investment from the beginning.
