Water heaters

Tank and tankless, repaired or replaced

From
How long
Usually half a day for a new tank

Most water heaters we replace could have lasted longer with a yearly flush, and most we fit are the right size, not the biggest. We ask how many showers you take, not how big the closet is.

A new 50-gallon tank, fitted with new valves, connectors and an expansion tank and the old one hauled away, is $1,450. Tankless heaters start at $3,200 fitted. Repairs on either are flat-rate, priced before we start.

Questions

Tank or tankless?

A tank costs less to fit; a tankless heater costs less to run and never runs out. Our guide on the two compares them for a family of four.

How long does a water heater last?

A tank usually 10 to 15 years, a tankless heater 20 or more. Flushing it once a year helps both.
