Complete Water Heater Installation

Everything Included in Your Installation

Your water heater installation includes removal and proper disposal of your old unit, installation of the new water heater with all necessary connections, and testing to ensure everything works properly. We handle gas line connections, electrical wiring, water line hookups, and venting as needed.

We install tank and tankless water heaters, both gas and electric models. For Cary homes with hard water conditions, we can recommend units that handle mineral buildup better and last longer in your specific water conditions.

Every installation meets local building codes and includes our warranty on both parts and labor. We also walk you through basic maintenance to help your new water heater last as long as possible.

Most water heater installations in Cary take 2-4 hours depending on your home’s setup and the type of unit being installed. Straightforward tank-to-tank replacements are typically faster, while switching from tank to tankless or upgrading electrical/gas connections takes longer. We provide a time estimate when we give you the upfront pricing so you can plan your day accordingly.
Yes, water heater installations in Cary typically require permits to ensure the work meets local building and safety codes. We handle the permit process as part of your installation service. This includes ensuring proper venting, electrical connections, gas line work, and water line connections meet McHenry County and Cary municipal requirements. Proper permitting protects you and ensures your installation is done safely.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having issues, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older units are less energy efficient and repairs often lead to more problems down the road. If you’re frequently running out of hot water, seeing rusty water, or dealing with leaks, replacement is typically the better investment. We’ll assess your current unit and give you honest recommendations based on its condition and your hot water needs.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A typical family of four needs a 40-50 gallon tank water heater, but this varies based on your specific usage. If you have multiple bathrooms, run dishwashers and washing machines frequently, or take long showers, you might need a larger capacity. We assess your actual hot water needs during our consultation to recommend the right size.
Yes, we install both tank and tankless water heaters throughout Cary. Tankless units provide endless hot water and take up less space, but they require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity for proper operation. Some older Cary homes need electrical or gas line upgrades for tankless installation. We’ll evaluate your home’s current setup and let you know what’s involved for tankless installation versus traditional tank units.
Our water heater installations include warranty coverage on both the unit itself (manufacturer warranty) and our installation work (labor warranty). Manufacturer warranties typically range from 6-12 years depending on the water heater model you choose. Our installation warranty covers any issues with our workmanship. We’ll explain the specific warranty terms for your chosen water heater during the consultation so you know exactly what’s covered.
