How the job runs

  1. Check the old setup

    We check the tank, gas or power, venting, water lines and space, and ask how much hot water you use.
  2. Size and price it

    We match the tank to your household and give one flat-rate price with parts and labor included before work begins.
  3. Remove and install

    We drain and disconnect the old tank, set the new one, connect water and fuel, and add an expansion tank if needed.
  4. Test and walk through

    We fire it up, check for leaks and venting, test the relief valve, clean up and show you the controls.

It varies with water quality, use and upkeep. A tank that was flushed and checked over the years tends to last longer than one that was ignored. When the tank leaks from the body or the hot water turns rusty, it is usually time to replace it.
