01FAQ
Water Heater Installation Questions, Answered
Question not here?
Call and ask. A straight answer and an estimated range on the call, before anybody drives over.
Call (972) 472-8210What water heater services do you offer in Rowlett?
Twelve: gas, electric, tankless and hybrid heat pump installation, replacement, same-day installation, tank-to-tankless conversion, attic and garage installation, expansion tank installation, relocation and new construction. Each has its own page.
How much do they cost?
A like-for-like gas or electric tank is estimated at $1,400 to $2,900, a tank with attic access or code updates at $2,200 to $3,800, a hybrid at $3,000 to $5,500 and a tankless conversion at $3,800 to $7,500. The written quote is the price.
Do you only install water heaters?
Yes. We don't take drain, sewer or remodel work, so every visit is about the heater.
How do I choose between gas and electric?
Nationally about 48% of homes use gas and 46% electricity as the main water heating fuel. The existing gas line or circuit, the space and the household decide, and we quote both when asked.
Is tankless worth the extra cost?
The DOE puts tankless at 24% to 34% more efficient for homes using 41 gallons a day or less, and 8% to 14% at about 86. The gas line and vent decide the cost, so it is estimated at $3,800 to $7,500 against $1,400 to $2,900 for a tank.
Can you install a heater the same day?
Often, for a like-for-like tank when a matching unit is in stock. Conversions, moves and new gas lines are scheduled after a fit check.
How long does an install take?
3 to 5 hours for a like-for-like tank, and most of a day for an attic job, a relocation or a conversion.
Do you handle permits?
Texas cities set their own permit rules and can amend the model codes, so we confirm what Rowlett requires for each job and show any permit as its own line on the quote.
What happens to my old water heater?
It is drained, disconnected and hauled away on the same visit, and that is a line on the quote.
Who does the work?
A plumber licensed through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Plumbing for customers requires that license in Texas.
Do you service commercial buildings?
No. We install water heaters in homes. Commercial and shared systems have their own codes and equipment.
How long will the new heater last?
The DOE gives a storage tank 10 to 15 years and a tankless unit more than 20. Many installers plan on 8 to 12 years in hard water, and Rowlett's water is moderately hard.
