Complete Water Heater Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your water heater replacement includes professional removal of your old unit, complete installation of the new water heater, and proper disposal. We handle all connections, test the system thoroughly, and make sure everything is working perfectly before we leave.

Many Belmont homes have unique installation challenges due to their age and layout. We’ve seen it all and know how to work around tight spaces, outdated connections, and local code requirements. Each installation comes with our warranty on both parts and labor.

You also get guidance on the best water heater type for your specific needs, whether that’s a traditional tank unit, tankless system, or high-efficiency model that’ll cut your energy bills.

Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours from start to finish. The exact time depends on your current setup and whether any modifications are needed to meet current codes. Straightforward replacements in accessible locations typically take closer to 2 hours, while installations requiring new connections or code updates may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan your day accordingly.
Water heater replacement costs vary based on the unit type, size, and installation requirements. Standard tank water heaters typically cost less upfront, while tankless units have higher initial costs but lower operating expenses. We provide upfront pricing that includes the unit, installation, permits, and disposal of your old water heater. No hidden fees or surprise charges – you’ll know the total cost before we start any work.
Yes, water heater replacement in Belmont requires a permit to ensure the installation meets current safety codes. We handle all permit requirements as part of our service, including filing the paperwork and scheduling inspections if needed. This protects you and ensures your installation is done to code, which is important for insurance purposes and if you ever sell your home.
The best choice depends on your hot water usage, available space, and budget. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families. Tankless units save space, provide endless hot water, and reduce energy costs, but have higher initial costs. We’ll assess your specific situation – family size, usage patterns, and installation location – to recommend the best option for your needs and budget.
Water heater size depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A family of 2-3 people typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank, while larger families may need 75+ gallons. We also consider your peak usage times – if everyone showers in the morning, you might need a larger capacity. During our assessment, we’ll review your current usage and recommend the right size to ensure you never run out of hot water.
We handle complete removal and proper disposal of your old water heater as part of our service. This includes draining the unit safely, disconnecting all lines, and hauling it away from your property. Old water heaters contain materials that need proper recycling, and we ensure everything is disposed of according to local Belmont regulations. You don’t have to worry about cleanup or disposal – we take care of everything.
