Water Heater Replacement Process

From Cold Water to Hot Showers

We measure the space, check your electrical or gas connections, and determine what size system will serve your family best. Next, we remove your old unit safely and install your new water heater according to local codes. We test everything thoroughly—water pressure, temperature settings, and safety features—before we consider the job complete. Finally, we walk you through your new system’s operation and maintenance schedule. You’ll know exactly how to get the most life and efficiency from your investment.

How long does water heater installation take in Sierra Oaks?

Most water heater installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new system, and testing everything thoroughly. If you’re upgrading from a tank to tankless system, or if we need to update electrical or gas connections, the job might take 6-8 hours. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment. Emergency replacements can often be completed the same day, especially if you have a standard setup and we have your preferred unit in stock.
For a typical Sierra Oaks family of 3-4 people, a 40-50 gallon tank water heater usually provides adequate hot water. Larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms often need 60-80 gallon units. Tankless systems size differently—we calculate based on your peak hot water demand and the temperature rise needed. A whole-house tankless unit typically handles 2-3 simultaneous hot water uses. We measure your current usage patterns and factor in any planned changes (like bathroom additions) to recommend the right size for your specific situation.
Basic tank water heater replacement typically runs $1,200-$2,500 including installation. High-efficiency units and larger capacity systems cost $2,000-$4,000. Tankless water heater installation ranges from $3,000-$6,500 depending on whether you need electrical or gas line upgrades. The higher upfront cost often pays for itself through lower energy bills over time. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. Many of our customers find the final bill comes in under our initial estimate because we don’t pad our quotes with unnecessary extras.
If your water heater is over 8 years old and needs major repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Repair costs on older units often approach 50% of replacement cost, and you’ll likely face more problems soon. Signs that point toward replacement include rusty water, strange noises, water around the base, or frequent temperature fluctuations. These indicate internal deterioration that repair can’t fix long-term. For newer units under warranty, repair often makes sense for issues like faulty thermostats, heating elements, or minor leaks. We’ll give you honest advice about which option serves you best.
