Water heater replacement
Is your water heater leaking, rusting or past its life? We replace it with a like-for-like unit or move you to tankless, and we haul away the old one.
Tankless water heater installation
Tankless units heat water on demand and last about 20 years. We'll tell you honestly whether your home is a good fit.
Signs you need a new water heater
Most storage tank water heaters last 10 to 15 years. These are the signs it may be time to replace yours:
-
Water leaking from the tank itself. The tank has failed. Replacement is the fix.
-
Rust-colored hot water. The tank may be corroding inside. Replacement is likely.
-
A unit over 10 to 12 years old with repairs adding up. Replacement usually costs less over time.
-
Hot water runs out much faster than it used to. Sediment or a failing part. We can check before you decide.

The right size depends on how many people live in your home and how much hot water you use at once. We’ll recommend a size during your free estimate.
Storage tank units cost less upfront and last 10 to 15 years. Tankless units cost more upfront, last about 20 years, and produce roughly 2 to 5 gallons per minute, so a large household may need more than one. We’ll tell you which fits your home.
We install gas, electric and tankless units. Switching can involve venting, gas line or electrical work, which we cover in your free estimate.
In North Carolina, a like-for-like replacement in a one- or two-family home generally doesn’t need a building permit when a licensed installer does and inspects the work, with the same fuel, location and venting and no higher energy input. Changes beyond that can require a permit, and electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor.
