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.

I had them out, and although the blockage took a more extensive job to remove, I was very pleased with the professionalism of the plumbers. They explained my options and didn't push me to go for the most expensive option first. We worked our way up, and although my sewer blockage was nasty, they got it as quickly as possible without delays. The office staff was invaluable, and the price was satisfactory. Higher than I wanted but lower than expected. This is the first plumber I would recommend without hesitation.

I just had Hoover come out to fix an issue I was having with the pressure in my shower. The technician, AJ Demasellis, quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. This is the second time I've used Hoover for an issue in my home and each time I've received great service from techs who were friendly and efficient. I'm not hoping for anymore issues with my house that I can't fix myself, but if another arises I'll definitely call Hoover to handle it.
