Water Heater Replacement Services

Replacing an aging or inefficient water heater can significantly reduce energy costs and prevent emergency breakdowns. When your existing system reaches the end of its lifespan or you’re ready for an upgrade, Comfort Bros provides complete water heater replacement services to restore efficiency and reliability.

We guide customers through available water heater models sized to their home and present their respective advantages, discuss goals such as faster recovery or lower utility bills, and provide upfront pricing and financing on approved credit. Then, our technicians take care of removing your old unit, inspecting the connections, and installing a new system that fits your home’s needs.

Modern water heaters offer superior performance, lower operating costs, and improved safety features, making replacement a smart investment for your home. Start planning for a water heater replacement if you encounter these signs:

More than 10 years old: Older water heater tanks are more prone to leaks and efficiency losses and typically last between 8 and 15 years, while tankless systems last longer, between 15 and 20 years. Replacing equipment proactively avoids emergency downtime, potential hazards, and water damage.
Visible corrosion: Rust on fittings, seams, or the tank jacket signals internal deterioration.
Rusty water: Discolored hot water suggests internal tank corrosion or anode rod deterioration.
Leaking water: Aside from connections to your plumbing lines, water heaters are closed systems. Puddles near the unit or moisture at joints, seams, or the base indicate deteriorating materials or failing components and often require immediate repair or replacement.
Poor performance: Inconsistent temperature or short hot water runs can come from sediment on heater surfaces or a failing thermostat or element.
Noises: Water heaters should operate quietly. Rumbling or popping indicates underlying problems, such as sediment at the tank bottom trapping heat and creating steam bubbles that pop and potentially damage tank materials.

Types of Water Heaters We Service & Install

Comfort Bros services and installs all major types of water heaters. Each system type offers different advantages depending on the property, usage needs, and energy preferences.

Storage water heaters: Conventional tank storage units keep a supply of hot water and are reliable and cost-effective for households with predictable hot water needs.
Tankless water heaters: Tankless units heat water on demand, which cuts standby losses and saves space.
Gas water heaters: Gas-powered units offer fast recovery and are suitable for households with high hot water demand.
Electric water heaters: Electric water heaters use elements or heat pump technology and work well in homes without gas connections.

When your water heater fails, Comfort Bros offers same-day water heater installation to restore hot water without delay. We maintain flexible scheduling to handle urgent replacements or installations.

Affordable Financing Options

Upgrading a water heater is an investment in long-term home comfort and energy efficiency. Comfort Bros partners with Service Finance to make the process more affordable. Customers can choose between deferred interest financing or low monthly payments with extended terms, depending on eligibility. With flexible financing, you can replace aging equipment before it fails and upgrade to a modern, high-efficiency water heater.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We can complete most water heater installations within a day, sometimes in just a few hours. The exact installation timeline depends on system type and fuel source, as well as potential modifications to plumbing, electrical wiring, or venting.

What’s the difference between water heater installation and replacement?

Water heater installation refers to adding a new unit in a space that doesn’t already have one, such as new construction. Replacement involves removing an existing water heater and installing a new one.

Is it better to repair or replace a leaking water heater?

Leaks usually indicate corrosion or damage to the tank itself, which can’t be repaired safely. In these cases, replacement is often a more reliable and cost-effective option to prevent further water damage and restore efficiency.

Can you replace an electric water heater with a gas water heater?

Replacing an electric water heater with a gas water heater is possible if your home has access to a gas line and proper ventilation. These replacements may require additional work to connect gas and venting systems.
