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 Reno

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 10-15 years. Tankless water heaters, known for their efficiency, can often last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Planning for replacement in Reno ensures you avoid unexpected issues and maintain consistent hot water supply.

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

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Tankless water heaters are widely recognized as the most efficient option. They heat water only when needed, eliminating standby energy losses associated with keeping a large tank of water hot. This translates to potential energy savings for Reno residents. Ask about condensing tankless models for even greater efficiency.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

Look for signs like a significant decrease in hot water supply, unusual noises such as rumbling or popping, or visible leaks from the unit. Discolored water or a metallic taste can also indicate internal corrosion. If your water heater is over 10-15 years old, it might be time to consider replacement.

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

Sediment buildup is a frequent issue for tank-style water heaters, reducing efficiency and causing noise. For tankless units, mineral deposits can clog the heat exchanger. Ignition problems or thermostat failures can occur with both types. Regular maintenance is key to preventing these common issues.

Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?

Repairing a water heater is often a sensible choice for newer units with straightforward problems like a faulty thermostat or heating element. However, if your unit is old, has significant corrosion, or requires multiple expensive repairs, investing in a new, more efficient model for your Reno home might be a better long-term decision.
