What affects the price
When you are looking at the price of a new water heater, a few main things shift the final number. The type of unit you choose—whether it is a tank model or a tankless system—is the biggest factor. You also have to consider the fuel source, like gas or electric, and the physical space where the heater sits. If your home needs new venting, updated piping, or a different hookup to meet current safety codes, that adds labor time to the project.
About this service
When calculating the cost of a tankless water heater and the labor to install it, we consider the unit's flow rate and your home’s existing utility connections. Upgrading to this technology usually requires specific venting and plumbing modifications that impact the total price. We ensure the system is properly sized for your family’s water usage. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Even though it is warm outside, your water heater is still working daily. Summer is a great time to adjust your settings, as the incoming water isn't as cold, which can actually help extend the life of your unit. If you are planning a home renovation or just want to upgrade to a more efficient model, call us to talk through your options.
Frequently asked in Aurora
How long do hot water heaters typically last?
In Aurora, traditional tank water heaters generally last between 8 to 12 years. Tankless water heaters, when properly maintained, can often provide hot water for 15 to 20 years. The mineral content in your local water and how frequently you use hot water will impact how long your unit performs optimally.
What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?
What is the most efficient type of water heater?
For energy efficiency in Aurora homes, tankless water heaters are a top choice as they heat water only when needed. Heat pump water heaters are also highly efficient, using ambient air to heat water, which can lead to significant savings on energy bills. Consulting with a local expert can help you choose the best fit for your needs.
What are signs I need a new water heater?
Watch for signs like a noticeable decrease in hot water availability, strange noises emanating from the unit, or visible leaks around the base in your Aurora home. If the hot water is discolored or has an odd smell, it's also a strong indicator that your water heater may need attention or replacement. The age of the unit is also a key consideration.
What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?
Sediment buildup within the tank is a very common issue for water heaters, leading to reduced efficiency and noise. Other frequent problems include worn-out heating elements or thermostats, particularly in electric models, or a depleted anode rod that protects the tank from corrosion. Regular flushing can help prevent many of these issues.
Is it worth it to repair a water heater?
Repairing a water heater is often worthwhile if the problem is minor and the unit is not too old. Issues like a faulty thermostat or a pilot light problem are typically cost-effective to fix. However, if the tank has corroded or is leaking, or if the unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, investing in a new, more efficient water heater for your Aurora home might be the better financial decision.
