When It's Time to Replace a Water Heater
Some water heaters can be repaired. These are the signs that point to a new one.
The Tank Itself Is Leaking
Water seeping from the body of the tank, not a fitting or a valve, means the tank has failed. There's no repair for that.
Rust in the Hot Water
Rusty water from the hot taps only points to corrosion inside the tank. A leak usually isn't far behind.
Repairs Keep Coming
A second element, then a valve, then another call. On an older tank, the next repair can cost more than it's worth.
It's Over 12 Years Old
Age alone isn't a reason, but an older tank with any of the signs above is usually a replacement. The instant estimate asks the age for that reason.
You Need More Hot Water
A bigger household or a new bathroom can outgrow the tank you have. A larger tank or a tankless water heater can fix that.
Installing a New Water Heater, or Replacing the One You Have
Most installs are replacements: the old tank comes out and a new one goes in the same spot. Clog Heroes installs gas, electric, propane and hybrid water heaters, and tankless units too. Before you choose, your technician explains the options that fit your space and your fuel, with a written price for each.
Same Spot, New Tank
Water Heater Replacement
The old heater is drained and disconnected, and the new one is set in its place and connected to your water, power or gas, and venting. It's filled, fired up and checked before we leave.
New Spot or New Type
New Water Heater Installation
Moving the heater, adding one, or switching fuel or type means new piping, and sometimes new venting or a gas line. Your technician sees the space first and prices the job in writing.

You Approve a Written Price
The install price comes in writing, with any extra parts listed. Go ahead on site and the $89 dispatch fee is waived.
Old Out, New In
The old tank is drained and removed, and the new heater is set and connected. Our replacement jobs have included an expansion tank, a drain pan and a new shut-off valve where a home needed them.
Hot Water Before We Leave
The heater is filled and fired up, and your technician walks you through the finished install and runs a hot tap with you.
What a New Water Heater Costs
The instant estimate shows a range online. The install price is written down and approved by you before any work starts.
The range depends on the type and size of the heater and what your home needs around it. Most Clog Heroes services are flat rate, so the written price is the price for the job.
A tankless install depends on the gas line, venting and power at your home, so it's priced on site. See Tankless Water Heaters.

What Customers Said About Water Heater Installation
Google reviews that mention this job, quoted word for word.
Came the same day on schedule and helped decide to fix or replace. Given the age of the old water heater, I chose to replace it. The water heater was installed promptly and professionally. Friendly and professional.
Ryan was very professional and courteous. He took his time to evaluate the situation. He explained exactly what he is going to do and provided the cost of the installation of the water heater and faucet. He seems very flexible in scheduling.

Jared installed a new water heater for us through the REC program. He did a wonderful job, took care to make all the lines neat and straight, and was really easy to work with. Jessy in the office was fun, too!
