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
Rinnai tankless units require regular maintenance to prevent scale buildup and sensor malfunctions. Our repair process involves clearing mineral deposits, inspecting the venting, and ensuring the gas pressure is optimal for your home. You need this service if your hot water output drops or the unit shuts down unexpectedly. 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.

What is a water heater expansion tank?
A water heater expansion tank is a small tank connected to the water heater's cold water supply line. It contains a diaphragm that separates air from water.
