Your morning routine shouldn’t depend on whether everyone else showered first. With a new tankless water heater, you get endless hot water on demand, lower energy bills, and more space in your utility room.
No more cold surprises mid-shower. No more waiting for the tank to refill. Just consistent, reliable hot water whenever you turn the handle.
The best part? Most customers see their energy bills drop significantly after switching to tankless, and the system often pays for itself over time through savings.
We’ve built a 4.7-star reputation across 93 Google reviews by showing up when we say we will and charging what we quote. No surprises, no runaround.
We’ve been handling water heater emergencies and replacements throughout Locke and the surrounding areas for years. Our technicians know the local plumbing codes, understand the water conditions that affect heater performance, and stock the parts needed to get your hot water restored fast.
When your water heater fails at 6 AM or 10 PM, we’re available. That’s what 24/7 emergency service actually means.
We start with an honest assessment of your current system and your household’s hot water needs. No overselling, no pushing products you don’t need.
If replacement makes sense, we’ll walk you through your options – traditional tank or tankless, gas or electric – and explain the real-world differences in plain language. You’ll get an upfront price quote with no hidden fees.
Installation day, we arrive on time with everything needed to complete the job. We handle permits, disposal of your old unit, and test everything to make sure it’s working properly before we leave. Most replacements are completed the same day.
Ready to get started?
Every water heater replacement includes professional installation, proper venting, code compliance, and disposal of your old unit. We handle the permits and inspections so you don’t have to.
For Locke homeowners, we recommend considering your water quality when choosing a new system. The local water conditions can affect heater performance and lifespan, so we factor that into our recommendations.
Tankless installations include gas line modifications if needed, electrical updates for the ignition system, and proper venting. We also flush your water lines to remove any sediment that could affect your new system’s performance.
Most water heater replacements in Locke take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, connecting all plumbing and gas lines, and testing the system.
Tankless installations can take longer – typically 6-8 hours – because they often require gas line upgrades and new venting. If your home needs electrical work for the tankless ignition system, we coordinate that as well.
We aim to complete most jobs the same day, but complex installations or permit requirements might extend the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
It depends on your household’s hot water usage and your long-term plans. Tankless units cost more upfront but provide endless hot water and significantly lower energy bills over time.
For most Locke families, tankless makes sense if you’re staying in the home for several years. The energy savings typically offset the higher initial cost within 5-7 years, and you’ll never run out of hot water again.
Traditional tank units cost less initially and are simpler to install, making them a good choice if you need immediate replacement at the lowest upfront cost. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend what makes the most financial sense.
For traditional tanks, most Locke homes need 40-50 gallons for 2-3 people, or 50-80 gallons for larger families. But size isn’t just about capacity – it’s about recovery rate and your peak usage patterns.
Tankless sizing is different. We calculate your maximum simultaneous hot water demand – how many showers, dishwashers, and washing machines might run at once. Most homes need units rated for 6-10 gallons per minute.
We measure your current usage patterns and factor in your family size, number of bathrooms, and appliances. This ensures you get a system that meets your actual needs without paying for unnecessary capacity.
Traditional water heater replacement typically runs $1,200-$2,500 installed, depending on the unit size and any necessary upgrades to gas lines or venting. Tankless installations range from $2,500-$4,500 due to the additional complexity.
The final cost depends on your specific situation – existing plumbing condition, permit requirements, and whether we need to upgrade gas lines or electrical connections. We provide detailed written estimates before starting any work.
Many customers find the final bill is actually less than our initial estimate because we quote conservatively. We’d rather surprise you with lower costs than hit you with unexpected charges.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater replacement throughout Locke and surrounding areas. When your water heater fails completely, we can often install a replacement the same day.
For true emergencies – no hot water and you need it restored immediately – we stock common residential units and can typically have you back up and running within hours of your call.
Emergency service does carry additional fees for after-hours work, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront. Sometimes waiting until regular business hours makes more financial sense, and we’ll help you decide what’s best for your situation.
All water heaters come with manufacturer warranties – typically 6-12 years on the tank and components. Tankless units often have longer warranties due to their more durable construction.
We also warranty our installation work for one full year. This covers any issues with connections, fittings, or installation-related problems that might arise after we complete the job.
If something goes wrong with our work, we come back and fix it at no charge. If it’s a manufacturer defect, we handle the warranty claim process and coordinate any necessary repairs or replacements with the manufacturer.
