How long does it take to install a new water heater?

Most water heater installations can be completed in about two to four hours. More complex projects, such as switching from a tank to a tankless system, may take longer. Our goal is always to complete the work efficiently while ensuring safety and quality.

Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?

Tank water heaters are generally more affordable upfront and work well for families with steady hot water needs. Tankless systems provide endless hot water and better efficiency but come with a higher installation cost. We help you weigh the pros and cons to find the right fit for your home.

When is it better to replace instead of repair my water heater?

If your water heater is over 10 years old, leaks regularly, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is often the smarter choice. Newer models offer better energy efficiency and lower operating costs. We provide honest recommendations to help you make the most cost-effective decision.

Do new water heaters require regular maintenance?

Yes, both tank and tankless systems benefit from yearly maintenance. Tasks like flushing sediment, checking the thermostat, and inspecting valves extend the lifespan of your unit. Regular care keeps your water heater efficient and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

Will a new water heater lower my energy bills?

In most cases, yes. Modern water heaters are designed to be more energy-efficient than older units. Tankless systems, in particular, heat water only on demand, which reduces wasted energy. Lower monthly bills are one of the key benefits of upgrading your system.

D was awesome! What a hard worker! We did not expect our furnace to go out during the coldest part of winter. Dee and team got it done! He explained everything simply and showed us all the work done. Showed us how to change the filter (hands on). He went over the humidifier, where the lines go, on/off etc. Explained how the model of furnace we choose works and sounds (and he was spot on!). Told us we would get a call to set up inspection date and time (we did). D was very thorough, super friendly, polite, and a super worker! Great job! Highly recommend D and Hoover!
