Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, and testing everything thoroughly. If we’re switching from tank to tankless or need to update gas lines or electrical connections, it might take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan your day accordingly.
Water heater replacement costs vary based on the type and size you choose, plus any necessary updates to connections or venting. A standard tank replacement typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500 installed. Tankless units cost more upfront but can save money long-term through energy efficiency. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Yes, Fremont requires permits for water heater replacement to ensure safety and code compliance. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This protects you legally and ensures your homeowner’s insurance remains valid. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it can cause major problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
It depends on your household’s hot water usage and budget. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families. Tankless units cost more initially but take up less space and can reduce energy bills over time. If you have high demand for hot water or limited space, tankless might make sense. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each option.
In most cases, yes. We stock common water heater sizes and can typically complete same-day replacement if you call before noon and we have your size in stock. If you need a specific model or size we don’t have on the truck, we can usually get it within 24 hours. Emergency situations get priority scheduling, especially during Fremont’s colder months when hot water is essential.
We handle complete removal and proper disposal of your old water heater at no extra charge. This includes draining it safely, disconnecting all connections, and hauling it away from your property. We dispose of old units at certified recycling facilities when possible, keeping them out of landfills. You don’t have to worry about getting it to the curb or finding a disposal service.
