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

The cost to install a tankless system depends on your home’s infrastructure, such as venting requirements and the size of your gas meter. Because these units provide on-demand heat, the installation process is more technical than a standard water heater replacement. We provide a full assessment of your home to determine the final investment required for a seamless upgrade. 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 Reno

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

In Reno, a typical tank water heater usually lasts between 10 to 15 years. Factors like water hardness and regular maintenance play a significant role in its longevity. If you're noticing frequent issues or a decline in performance, it might be time to consider a replacement. A professional can help you assess its condition.

What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Tankless water heaters are often the most energy-efficient choice for Reno homes. They heat water only when you need it, eliminating standby energy losses associated with keeping a large tank of water hot. This can translate to lower utility bills over time. They're a great investment for long-term savings.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

Look for signs like a decrease in hot water supply, strange noises (like popping or rumbling), or discolored water. If you see rust forming on the tank or notice leaks around the base, it's a strong indicator that a new unit is needed. Don't wait for a complete failure; get it checked.

What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?

Sediment buildup is a very common issue that can reduce efficiency and cause noises within the tank. Another frequent problem involves the heating elements or thermostat failing. Leaks from the tank itself or the plumbing connections are also common and require immediate attention.
