Our Water Heater Installation & Service

Tank Water Heater Installation & Replacement

Gas and electric tank water heaters in 30-, 40-, 50-, and 80-gallon capacities. We pull the permit, remove the old unit, install and test the new one, and register the manufacturer warranty — all in one visit.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Gas and electric on-demand water heaters that heat water only when you need it. No standby heat loss, no running out of hot water. We size units to your home's peak demand and handle gas line work and new venting where required.

Combi Boiler Installation

A single unit that provides both home heating and domestic hot water. Ideal for homes without a separate furnace footprint. We size, install, and commission to manufacturer spec with all permits and inspections handled.

Water Heater Repair & Service

Pilot light failures, thermocouple replacement, anode rod service, expansion tank installation, T&P relief valve replacement, and sediment flush. Most repairs are same-day. We service all major brands.

Water Heater Installation & Service FAQ

Do I need a permit for water heater replacement in New Jersey?
Yes. Water heater replacement in NJ requires a plumbing permit. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of every installation. The permit record matters for your homeowner's insurance and is required for some property sales.
What is the difference between a tank and tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores 30-80 gallons of hot water and reheats it continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand and produces a continuous supply with no tank to exhaust. Tankless units cost more upfront but have lower operating costs and longer service lives — typically 20 years versus 10-12 for tanks.
How long does a water heater last?
Tank water heaters last 8-12 years. Tankless units last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. Annual anode rod inspection and periodic sediment flushing extend tank life. If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing problems, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
What brands do you install?
We install Rheem, Carrier, and Daikin equipment. These brands offer full manufacturer warranties that we register at job completion.
What is a combi boiler?
A combi (combination) boiler provides both home heating and domestic hot water from a single compact unit. It heats water on demand rather than storing it in a tank, so there is no standby heat loss. Combi boilers are common in homes with limited mechanical room space.
Repair or replace — how do I decide?
If a tank water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is less than 40% of replacement cost, repair is usually the right call. Over 10 years old, or if the tank is leaking, replace. We provide honest written quotes for both options before any work starts.
