Types of Water Heaters We Install

Aire Serv installs all types of water heaters. Our service professionals can help you determine the best choice for your home while considering your budget, lifestyle, and energy efficiency needs. Some of the most popular choices we install include:

  • Heat pump water heater: Heat pump water heaters have a storage tank of hot water that’s kept warm using heat from the air instead of a heating element.
  • Storage water heater: A storage or tank water heater has a large tank of water that’s kept warm with a heating element for when you need it.
  • Tankless water heater: Tankless water heaters heat water on demand because water passes through the heating element as it’s needed. They’re more energy efficient than other types of water heaters and take up very little space because there isn’t a tank.

I turned the water off to my oil burner and heater and called Aire Serv, reaching their answering service. First thing the next morning, Dominic came over and diagnosed the problem. The parts weren't available til the next day, which was a Saturday. 8 A.M. Saturday Dominic arrived and replaced the water heater and the expansion tank on the oil burner. Great service, fair price, top notch company. I highly recommend them.”

Water Heater Installation FAQ

As an industry leader and a brand that is trusted by homeowners and businesses nationwide for our knowledge and experience, we’re happy to answer your questions. Here are answers to some of the frequently asked questions about water heater installation.

According to Forbes, the national average cost of water heater installation is $1,400. The price starts around $900 and goes up from there, depending on the system, labor costs, permits, and other factors. Contact your local Aire Serv for a more accurate quote specific to your individual circumstances.

Based on a national average, labor to install a 50-gallon gas water heater can cost upwards of $500, depending on the system, local code requirements, and if any work needs to be done on the gas lines. Contact your local Aire Serv for a more accurate quote specific to your individual circumstances.

No. You should always call a professional to install a water heater. Water heater installation needs to meet your municipal code. If not installed properly, you risk water leaks, gas leaks, and potential injury. For many models, DIY installation may void the warranty.

After installation, it takes 30 minutes to two hours for a traditional water heater to heat up, depending on the size. A tankless water heater will provide hot water immediately after installation.

The initial investment for tankless water heater installation tends to be costly because of the need for infrastructure upgrades, specialized labor, and the higher price of the units themselves. However, the long-term energy savings and potential rebates can make a tankless water heater a cost-effective option over time.

This holds true for traditional gas models and electric ones alike. In many regions, replacing or installing a new tankless water heater requires permits and inspections for plumbing, electrical, and gas line work.

To safely install a hot water heater in accordance with city building codes, the service professional needs experience in plumbing, electrical work, and gas line work. At Aire Serv, our local service professionals are thoroughly vetted and qualified to install any type of water heater.

Tankless water heaters have multiple downsides you want to consider before deciding between a traditional unit and going tankless.

  • Cost of the unit: Tankless water heaters generally require a higher initial investment compared to traditional tank-style models. An Aire Serv professional can size a tankless water heater and provide appropriate options to fit home size and individual homeowner preferences.
  • Installation costs: Installation is more complex and may require upgrades to electrical systems, gas lines, and venting that need to be performed by professionals familiar with your local city building codes.
  • Delayed hot water delivery: Since tankless water heaters heat water on demand, it may take a few moments for hot water to reach the tap if a professional doesn’t design the installation to minimize waste and reduce the time it takes to heat water.
  • Power supply dependency: Unlike some traditional water heaters, which can still provide hot water from the tank during power outages, electric tankless water heaters will not work if there is no power, as they rely on an active power supply to heat the water.

A service professional can repair your water heater when you’re facing:

  • Inconsistent water temperature stemming from a failing thermostat or a heating element issue.
  • Strange noises due to sediment buildup
  • Leaking water from the pressure relief valve or drain valve
  • Discolored or smelly water may be resolved by cleaning the tank or replacing the anode rod.
  • Low hot water supply because of a malfunctioning heating element.

It’s time to consider a water heater replacement if your water heater causes:

  • Frequent repairs
  • Major leaks
  • Rising energy bills
  • Rust or corrosion on the tank exterior

Your trusted Aire Serv service professional can help you decide if your unit is in need of a replacement or if it is cost-effective to repair it.

The cost of replacing a water heater depends on whether you choose gas or electric, a tankless or traditional tank model, along with the layout and hookups available in your home. We’re happy to provide you with guaranteed upfront pricing and water heater recommendations based on your lifestyle.
