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 anode rod is a sacrificial metal part inside your tank that prevents the inner lining from rusting. It works by attracting corrosive elements so the tank itself stays intact. If you notice strange odors or brown water, your rod may have fully corroded and needs replacing to extend the life of your heater. Factors like your local water quality determine how often this needs checking. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
