Everything You Need in One Call

Our water heater installation service covers tankless units, traditional gas water heaters, and electric systems. We handle residential and commercial installations, emergency replacements, and planned upgrades to more efficient models.

Every installation includes removal and disposal of your old unit, proper connection of all utilities, code-compliant installation, and thorough testing. We also provide the permits needed for your local area and ensure everything passes inspection.

You also get our warranty on both parts and labor, plus guidance on maintenance that keeps your new water heater running efficiently. Whether you’re dealing with an emergency failure or planning an upgrade, we have the equipment and expertise to handle your specific situation in Sleepy Hollow.

Most water heater installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your specific situation. A straightforward replacement where we’re swapping out a similar unit typically takes about 2 hours. If we’re upgrading from tank to tankless, changing fuel types, or dealing with code updates, it might take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan your day accordingly. Emergency installations get priority scheduling, and we often complete same-day service throughout Sleepy Hollow.
The right size depends on your household’s hot water usage, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank or a tankless unit that produces 7-10 gallons per minute. We calculate this based on your peak usage times – like morning showers, dishwasher cycles, and laundry schedules. Tankless units take up less space but require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity. During our assessment, we’ll measure your actual needs rather than guessing, ensuring you get consistent hot water without overpaying for capacity you don’t need.
If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and needs significant repairs, replacement usually makes more sense financially. Frequent repairs, rusty water, inconsistent temperatures, or visible corrosion around the tank are clear replacement indicators. However, newer units with minor issues like a faulty thermostat or heating element are often worth repairing. We’ll assess your specific situation honestly – sometimes a $200 repair buys you several more years, and sometimes it’s throwing good money after bad. Age, repair history, and energy efficiency all factor into this decision.
Yes, we install both gas and electric tankless water heaters throughout Sleepy Hollow. Tankless units provide endless hot water and take up minimal space, but they require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity to operate properly. We’ll evaluate your home’s infrastructure during the assessment to ensure your system can support a tankless unit. The installation process is more complex than traditional tanks since it often involves upgrading gas lines or electrical panels, but the long-term energy savings and space benefits make it worthwhile for many homeowners.
Most water heater installations in Sleepy Hollow require permits, especially when changing fuel types, upgrading electrical systems, or installing tankless units. We handle the permit process for you, ensuring everything meets local building codes and passes inspection. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims. The permit cost is typically included in our service quote, and we schedule inspections at convenient times. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems later that cost far more to resolve.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the unit type, installation complexity, and any necessary upgrades to your home’s systems. Basic tank replacements typically cost less than tankless installations or situations requiring electrical or gas line upgrades. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation – no surprises or hidden fees. Emergency installations may include additional charges for after-hours service. The investment includes the unit, professional installation, permits, disposal of your old heater, and our warranty on both parts and labor.
