01Before you call
Four Facts to Have Ready When You Call
4facts are enough for an estimated range on the call
The call goes fastest with four facts, and all four are on or beside the heater. If it is leaking or has stopped heating, say that too, but the four facts are what let us give an estimated range without visiting first.
| Fact | Why it matters | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel: gas or electric | Decides the gas line, vent or circuit the new unit needs | A flue pipe on top and a gas line mean gas; an electric supply and no flue mean electric |
| Size in gallons | Our like-for-like range assumes a 40 to 50 gallon tank | Printed on the label on the side of the tank |
| Age | The DOE gives a storage tank 10 to 15 years | The date or serial number on the same label |
| Where it sits | Access and code items change the job and the range | Closet, garage, attic or elsewhere in the house |

02Location
Where the Heater Sits Changes the Job
The same 50-gallon tank costs more to replace in an attic than in a closet, because the job adds a drain pan, a safe route in and a platform to work from. These are our estimated ranges, and the written quote is the price.
| Situation | Estimated range | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Closet or utility room, same spot | $1,400 - $2,900 | Like-for-like gas or electric tank |
| Garage | $1,400 - $2,900 | Like-for-like, with garage code items such as height and protection |
| Attic | $2,200 - $3,800 | Pan, drain line, route in and platform |
| Moving the heater | $2,200 - $3,800 | Estimated when it starts with attic access; adds pipe, and sometimes a vent, line or circuit |
| New home | $1,400 - $3,800 | For a tank; more for a tankless or hybrid upgrade |
| Switching to tankless | $3,800 - $7,500 | Gas line and venting included |
Pages for each: attic, garage, relocation and tank-to-tankless conversion.

04After the call
What Happens After You Call
Five steps take a job from the first call to hot water at the tap. None of them asks you to fill in a form.
| Step | What happens | When |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Call | You give the four facts and get an estimated range | On the same call |
| 2. Fit check | Space, venting, gas or circuit and the water side are checked before anything is removed | On arrival |
| 3. Written quote | The unit, labor, any permit, code updates and haul-away listed in writing | Before work starts |
| 4. Install | Old heater drained and removed, new one set, piped and connected | 3 to 5 hours for a like-for-like tank |
| 5. Test | The new heater is run hot at the tap | Before we leave |
Often a like-for-like tank can go in the same day when a matching unit is in stock. Conversions, moves and new gas lines are scheduled after a fit check: see same-day installation.
05Right now
If Something Is Wrong Right Now
This is general safety guidance, not a substitute for a plumber or your gas utility. If the heater is leaking, close the cold water valve on the supply pipe above the tank, and turn off its gas control or its breaker. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Then call us for the replacement.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends setting a water heater to 120 degrees F. Its burn times show why the setting matters.
| Water temperature | Approximate time |
|---|---|
| 120 degrees F | 5 minutes |
| 130 degrees F | 30 seconds |
| 140 degrees F | 6 seconds |
| 150 degrees F | 2 seconds |
