FAQs

Water Heaters:
What Homeowners
Need to Know

  • We specialize in tanked water heaters (gas and electric), and we also install and service tankless models—primarily Bradford-White and Navien brands.

  • Tanked water heaters store and heat water continuously, while tankless models heat water on demand. Tankless units save energy, last longer, and never run out of hot water.

  • Tanked water heaters typically range from $2,500–$5,500 depending on size and location. Tankless units, including installation, generally range from $7,500–$10,000.

  • Yes! We offer free estimates for all water heater replacements and installs—call or text us to schedule a visit and get honest recommendations.

  • Absolutely. We repair gas and electric tanked heaters and are specially trained to work on Navien tankless systems already in place.
