Water Heater Cost FAQs

Wondering about water heater costs? Prices vary by type, installation, and efficiency. Here are the most common questions homeowners ask—answered.

How much does a new water heater cost, including installation?

Most water heaters cost $1,200–$2,500 installed. Tankless or high-efficiency models can run $2,500–$5,000+. We’ll give you an upfront quote with no surprises.

Are there hidden costs when replacing a water heater?

Not with us. We give you a full quote upfront—no surprise fees, no fine print. If something unexpected comes up, we’ll talk it through before doing anything.

How long does a professionally installed water heater last?

Most water heaters start declining after 5–7 years, and tankless units can last longer with proper care. Our Plumber For Life plan includes regular checkups to keep your system running safely and efficiently for as long as possible.

Can I install a water heater myself to save money?

You can—but it’s risky. We’ve seen DIY installs lead to gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, major water damage—even fire hazards. We’ve fixed too many “how-hard-can-it-be” jobs. Call Jake and get it done safely, up to code, and the right way the first time.

What do I need to know before buying a hot water heater?

Think about your home’s size, hot water usage, energy efficiency, and budget. Not sure where to start? Our Water Heater Buying Guide breaks it all down—no jargon, just clear info to help you choose the right fit.
