Water Heater Purchase & Installation Costs 

Standard Unlit: $1,500 (additional charges may apply for access repairs)

Lowboy Unit: $1,900 (additional charges may apply for access repairs)

Many homeowners choose electric water heaters because they’re affordable, easy to maintain, and don’t require access to natural gas. Modern electric water heaters are also more efficient than ever, providing consistent hot water while helping reduce energy costs. 

Standard Unit: $1,500 (additional charges may apply for access repairs)

Power Vent Unit: $2,700 (additional charges may apply for access repairs)

Natural gas water heaters remain one of the most popular options for homeowners because they offer several advantages, including lower operating costs, fast recovery rates, reliable hot water, power outage use, and long-term value. 

$1,700 (additional charges may apply for access repairs)

Propane water heaters offer several advantages and are a popular choice for large families, homeowners living in rural areas, or homes with propane furnaces or stoves. They are extremely reliable during power outages, have high energy efficiency, and fast hot water recovery. 

Due to current market fluctuations from suppliers, we’re unable to give an online price for tankless units. 

If you’re tired of running out of or waiting for hot water, a tankless water heater may be the perfect solution. Tankless water heaters heat water only when you need it, providing you with instant hot water and making them one of the most energy-efficient water heating options available. 

Water Heater Repair & Maintenance Costs 

$100

We recommend that all water heaters be flushed annually to maintain efficiency, extend the life of your tank, improve hot water supply, and reduce the chance of costly repairs in the future. 

$300

Our team provides annual descaling using a specialized transfer pump and biodegradable agent. This service is necessary to ensure efficient heat transfer, protect your warranty, and extend the lifespan of your appliance. 

$250 flat-rate labor fee 

For out-of-warranty repairs, we charge a flat fee. However, you will have to add the cost of the parts or materials needed to make the fix. 

We recommend scheduling repairs as soon as possible to prevent costly breakdowns, protect your home and family, and maintain water quality. 

Code Compliance Disclosure

If an existing system is out of code, our technicians are legally required to bring it up to code. Material costs will be added, but the flat labor rate remains unchanged

Warranties Note

Many six-year manufacturer warranties can cover replacement parts at no cost to you. 

Is It Better to Repair or Replace?

We’ll always recommend the solution that provides the best long-term value for you and your home. 

We may suggest repairs if your water heater is less than 8 to 10 years old,  not leaking, still performing reliably, and only having minor issues that aren’t majorly impacting performance.  

We may recommend a full replacement if the tank is leaking, you have to keep scheduling repairs, the unit is over 10 to 15 years old, or major components have failed. You may also want to replace your system if you want something more efficient or reliable.

General Questions Asked by Customers

Is a tankless system more expensive than a traditional tank water heater?

Yes. Tankless water heaters typically have higher upfront installation costs, but they can offer lower energy bills, a longer lifespan, and continuous hot water.

Is repairing a water heater cheaper than replacing it?

Often, yes. Minor repairs are usually less expensive than replacement. However, if your unit is older, leaking, or requires frequent repairs, replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution.

In many cases, yes. We can install customer-supplied equipment, although warranty coverage and labor terms may differ. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
