Complete Water Heater Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra to Buy

Your water heater replacement includes professional installation by licensed technicians, all necessary permits and inspections, and proper disposal of your old unit. We bring quality equipment from trusted manufacturers, not the cheapest units that break down in two years.

Every installation meets current Ashby building codes and safety standards. We handle the gas connections, electrical work, and venting – whatever your specific setup requires. The job isn’t done until we’ve tested everything and walked you through your new system.

You also get our warranty on both parts and labor. If something goes wrong that shouldn’t have, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the difference between working with a local company that stands behind their work versus a contractor who disappears after cashing your check.

How much does water heater replacement cost in Ashby?

Water heater replacement in Ashby typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 depending on the type and size of unit you need. Standard tank water heaters cost less upfront, while tankless units cost more initially but save money on energy bills long-term. The final price depends on your home’s specific requirements, local permit fees, and whether any additional plumbing modifications are needed. We provide exact pricing upfront after assessing your situation, so you know the total cost before any work begins.

How long does it take to replace a water heater?

Most water heater replacements take 3-4 hours from start to finish when replacing a standard unit with a similar model. If you’re switching from tank to tankless or need additional plumbing work, it might take 6-8 hours. We schedule same-day service when possible because we know you need hot water back quickly. The installation time also depends on your home’s setup – older Ashby homes sometimes need minor updates to meet current codes, which we handle as part of the job.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most Ashby homes, especially if you have moderate hot water usage. Tankless units cost more initially but last longer, take up less space, and can cut your energy bills by 20-30%. For larger families or homes with high hot water demand, tankless makes more sense long-term. We’ll assess your actual usage patterns and help you choose based on your budget and needs, not what makes us the most money.

Do you offer emergency water heater replacement service?

Yes, we provide emergency water heater replacement service in Ashby. When your water heater fails completely, we understand you can’t wait days for service. We stock common replacement units and can often provide same-day installation, even for emergency calls. Emergency service does include an additional fee for after-hours work, but we’re upfront about all costs before starting. If your water heater is leaking or creating a safety hazard, don’t wait – call us right away.

What warranty do you provide on water heater replacement?

We provide comprehensive warranties covering both the equipment and our installation work. The water heater itself comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, typically 6-12 years depending on the model. Our installation work is guaranteed for one full year – if something goes wrong due to our workmanship, we fix it at no charge. This covers all connections, fittings, and installation components. We also provide ongoing service if you need maintenance or repairs down the road, warranty or not.

Do I need permits for water heater replacement in Ashby?

Yes, water heater replacement in Ashby requires permits to ensure the work meets current safety and building codes. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service – you don’t need to deal with the city offices or wait in line. The permit cost is included in our upfront pricing, and we schedule the required inspections. This protects you if you ever sell your home, and ensures the installation is safe and up to code. Some contractors skip permits to save money, but that creates problems for you later.
