Signs you need this

Getting the install right is about more than the heater.

These are the things a careful installation covers that a quick swap does not.

Sizing

Household size, bathrooms and peak use set the gallons or the flow rate. Too small runs out; too big wastes energy.

Venting

Gas units need the right flue size, slope and clearance. Bad venting puts combustion gases in the house.

A drain pan and line

Attic and closet units get a pan piped to a drain, so a future leak does not come through the ceiling.

Expansion tank

Closed systems need one to protect the tank and the relief valve from pressure spikes.

New connections

Flex lines, gas flex or wiring, and shutoffs replaced rather than reused.

Relief valve piped safely

The temperature and pressure relief line runs where a discharge cannot scald anyone.

What we actually do

A complete install, not a swap.

We set the unit level on a stand or pan, connect it with new supply lines and a new shutoff, run or reconnect gas with a new flex and a drip leg, and size and connect the venting. An expansion tank is added where the system needs one. The relief valve is piped to a safe discharge, the unit is filled, purged, fired and set to temperature, and hot water is confirmed at the farthest tap.

Tank or tankless, gas or electric: we install what suits the house, and we explain the trade-offs before you choose.

  • To code, every timeVenting, pan, expansion tank and relief piping done properly, not skipped.
  • Tank or tanklessWe quote both when both fit the house, with the running-cost difference explained.
  • Old unit hauled awayThe old heater leaves with us.
How we fix it

A water heater installation, start to finish.

Most installs are finished in a single visit.

Old one leaking now?

Shut the cold inlet valve and the gas or breaker, and call. A leaking tank is replaced the same day wherever stock allows.

What affects the price

What moves the price on an installation.

Upfront, with the unit named. The variables:

Tank or tankless

Tankless units cost more to buy and install and less to run. We show both.

Size and fuel

Capacity and gas versus electric set the unit price.

Location

A garage install is straightforward. An attic install with a tight access takes longer.

Venting and code items

A new vent, a pan and drain line or an expansion tank add parts and time, and we tell you which apply.

The coupon

$100 off any water heater installation. Mention it when you book and show it at the time of service.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

Installation questions we hear every week.

Still not sure? Call and describe the problem. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a 20-minute fix or a job worth quoting.

Ask a plumber: 281-612-1015
01What size water heater do I need?
For a tank, roughly: one or two people, 30 to 40 gallons; three or four, 40 to 50; five or more, 50 to 80. For tankless it is flow rate, set by how many showers and appliances run at once. We size it with you on the quote.
02Tank or tankless?
Tankless gives endless hot water and lower running cost but costs more to install, especially where gas or venting has to be upgraded. A tank is cheaper upfront and simpler. For most Houston families either works; we quote both.
03Do I need a permit?
Water heater replacement in Houston generally requires a permit. We handle it and it is included in the quote.
04How long does installation take?
A like-for-like tank replacement is usually a few hours. A tankless conversion with new gas and venting takes longer, and we tell you the schedule with the quote.
05Is there a coupon?
Yes. $100 off any water heater installation. Mention it when you book and show it at the time of service.
