How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Water Heater?
Anywhere from $1400 to $3500, or more depending upon unique circumstances.
What You’ll Get
We get it – no one wants to spend more than necessary. We’re consumers too. Let’s break down the components that go into the overall cost.
1. Household needs
Have you ever been the second person to enter the shower in the morning, and there’s no hot water left? It’s important to evaluate whether your current hot water system is adequately sized and energy efficient. If it’s not, you might be spending more than necessary on water heating. Or, it could be the flip side, where your hot water tank is bigger than necessary, wasting money on energy bills. Our team of qualified service technicians can help by assessing your household’s specific hot water needs based on your daily usage.
2. Capacity
As you can guess, this is the single largest factor determining overall cost. There are tWO types of energy sources for hot water heaters, of Electric and Gas. Then, each of these come in tank and tankless varieties. The amount of choices can seem near endless, which is why you want a qualified pro to make sure you make the right selection that saves money.
3. Site Access
High ceilings, tight crawl spaces, steep or narrow stairs, and other obstacles may require additional labor and equipment. In some cases, cranes might be necessary to lift the system into position. Wall mounting can also involve extra effort. All of these factors contribute to increased installation costs. In other rare cases, customers live on an island, adding a ferry fee.
4. Rebates
Some state governments provide rebates as incentives to replace efficient hot water systems. Likewise, manufactures sometimes provide their own rebates. Added up, sometimes there can be over a thousand dollars in savings.
5. Permits and Fees
No surprise, city hall wants it portion. Usually the fee is minor, around $10-$40, but sometimes more. Whatever unpleasant fee city hall charges, is the same fee we charge. We do not pad this charge.
6. Energy Source
There’s three types of hot water heaters; Electric, Gas, and Heat Pump. Electric is the standard, and is the least expensive. Gas hot water heaters cost a bit more, and last a bit longer. Heat pump heaters certainly cost more, but last longer and are cheaper to operate.
7. Extra Work
It’s not uncommon the previous installation was lacking (which is why the other hot water heater pooped out). This can be correcting piping, adding earthquake straps, or fixing wiring. Othertimes new features are needed, such as adding venting for a gas hot water heater.
