Water Heater Replacement Process

Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time

We start with a quick assessment of your current water heater and your home’s hot water needs. This helps us recommend the right size and type – whether that’s a traditional tank, tankless unit, gas, or electric model.

Once you approve the estimate, we handle the permit if needed and schedule your installation. We’ll safely disconnect and remove your old water heater, then install the new unit according to local codes and manufacturer specifications.

Before we leave, we test everything to make sure you have proper water pressure, temperature, and that all connections are secure. We clean up completely and show you how to operate your new water heater. You’ll have hot water the same day, plus all warranty information and our contact details for any questions.

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 with a similar tank and the connections are straightforward, it’s usually on the shorter end. Switching from tank to tankless or dealing with older homes that need additional work can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your situation, and we always clean up completely before we leave.
It depends on your hot water usage and budget. Tankless water heaters cost more upfront but last longer and save energy over time. They’re great if you have high hot water demand or want to free up space. Traditional tank water heaters cost less initially and are simpler to install, making them a good choice if you’re on a tight budget or have moderate hot water needs. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make the right choice for your home.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank water heater, but this can vary based on your habits. If you have multiple people showering back-to-back, run the dishwasher and washing machine frequently, or have a large soaking tub, you might need a larger unit. For tankless units, we calculate based on flow rate and temperature rise. We’ll evaluate your actual usage to recommend the right size so you don’t end up with a unit that’s too small or waste money on one that’s unnecessarily large.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for water heater installations in Matawan. We know the local codes and township requirements, so you don’t have to worry about navigating the permit process yourself. This includes pulling the permit, ensuring the installation meets all safety and code requirements, and coordinating any necessary inspections. The permit cost is included in our upfront pricing, so there are no surprise fees. Having the proper permits protects you and ensures your installation is done correctly and legally.
Water heater replacement costs vary based on the type and size of unit you choose. Basic tank water heaters start around $1,200-$1,800 installed, while tankless units typically range from $2,500-$4,000 depending on the model and installation requirements. The final price depends on your specific situation – things like accessibility, venting needs, and electrical or gas line modifications can affect the total. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your home so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start any work.
We install quality water heater brands that offer good reliability and warranty coverage. This includes trusted names like Rheem, Bradford White, and AO Smith for both tank and tankless models. We don’t push one brand over another – instead, we recommend based on your specific needs, budget, and what works best in your home’s setup. All the brands we carry come with manufacturer warranties, and we stand behind our installation work. We’ll explain the differences between models and help you choose the best option for your situation and budget.
