How long does water heater replacement take in Georgetown?

Most water heater replacements in Georgetown take 2-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new water heater, and testing all connections. The timeline depends on your home’s setup and whether we need to update any plumbing or electrical connections. Older Georgetown homes sometimes require additional work to meet current codes. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate before starting work. Same-day installation is available for most standard replacements when you call early in the day.

What size water heater do I need for my home?

Water heater size depends on your household’s hot water usage, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank, but your actual usage might be different. We calculate your needs based on peak usage times – like morning showers, dishwasher cycles, and laundry schedules. Georgetown’s colder temperatures also affect recovery time and efficiency. Tankless units are sized differently, based on flow rate and temperature rise. We’ll measure your current usage and recommend the right capacity to avoid running out of hot water during busy periods.

Should I repair or replace my old water heater?

If your water heater is over 8 years old and needs major repairs, replacement usually makes more sense financially. Repair costs add up quickly, and older units are less efficient. Signs pointing to replacement include rust in your hot water, strange noises, frequent temperature fluctuations, or water pooling around the unit. These indicate internal problems that repairs can’t fix long-term. Energy efficiency alone might justify replacement. New water heaters use significantly less energy than units from 10+ years ago, often paying for themselves through lower utility bills.

Do you handle permits for water heater installation in Georgetown?

Yes, we handle all permit requirements for water heater installations in Georgetown. El Dorado County has specific codes for water heater installations that we follow exactly. Permits ensure your installation meets safety standards and protects your home’s value. Some insurance companies require permitted work, and it’s definitely needed if you ever sell your home. We submit permit applications, schedule inspections, and make sure everything passes on the first try. You don’t have to deal with county offices or worry about compliance issues.

What's the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?

Tank water heaters store heated water and are ready when you turn on the tap. They cost less upfront and work well for most Georgetown homes with standard usage patterns. Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out during long showers or back-to-back usage. They take up less space and last longer, but have higher upfront costs and specific installation requirements. For Georgetown’s climate and water conditions, both options work well. Your choice depends on your family’s usage patterns, available space, and budget for the initial investment versus long-term savings.

How much does water heater replacement cost in Georgetown?

Water heater replacement in Georgetown typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the unit type, capacity, and installation complexity. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Tank water heaters cost less initially, while tankless units have higher upfront costs but potential long-term savings. Your home’s existing plumbing and electrical setup also affects the total investment. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you a written estimate that includes equipment, labor, permits, and disposal of your old unit. No surprise charges or hidden fees after the work is done.
