WATER HEATER REPLACEMENT

Ready for Reliable Hot Water Again?

If your water heater is leaking, unreliable, or nearing the end of its life, Aaron Services can help you choose the right replacement for your home. We’ll explain your options clearly and provide upfront pricing before installation begins.

Upfront Replacement Pricing

Every water heater replacement is different. Instead of guessing, it helps to understand what actually drives the price.

Your final cost typically depends on:

  • Unit type — gas tank, electric tank, tankless, or hybrid systems all have different installation requirements
  • Tank size — common sizes include 40, 50, and 75+ gallons depending on your household needs
  • Brand and warranty tier — builder-grade models cost less upfront, while premium systems offer longer warranties and higher efficiency
  • Code upgrades — items like expansion tanks, drain pans, seismic strapping, or venting updates may be required to meet current code
  • Access and location — installations in attics, crawlspaces, or tight closets require more time than garage installs
  • Fuel or electrical updates — upgrading a gas line or electrical system can affect total cost

Because of these variables, the only accurate way to price a replacement is to see the system in person.

We provide a free on-site estimate with the exact price before any work starts. You’ll know your options clearly, with no pressure and no obligation.

If your water heater is actively leaking, our technicians can provide a free and fast assessment. And we carry replacement tanks on our trucks so that we can solve you water heater problems the same day you call.


Tank vs Tankless — Which Is Right for You?

Both options have clear use cases depending on your home and goals.

Tank water heaters:

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Faster installation
  • Reliable for standard usage

Tankless water heaters:

  • Endless hot water
  • Longer lifespan
  • Higher efficiency

If your current system is struggling to keep up or you plan to stay in your home long-term, tankless may be worth considering. If your current setup has worked well and you want a straightforward replacement, a tank system is often the right choice.

If you’re unsure whether your system can be repaired instead, you can start with a professional evaluation through our water heater repair service.

The Replacement Process — 4 Steps

  1. Free on-site assessment
    We evaluate your current system, usage, and installation requirements, then provide a clear, upfront quote.
  2. Permit pulled
    Every installation is completed with proper permitting and code compliance.
  3. Same-day installation
    Most replacements are completed in one visit, typically within 3–5 hours.
  4. Walkthrough and warranty
    We explain operation, maintenance, and ensure everything is working properly before we leave.

If your system has already failed and you need immediate help, we offer emergency water heater repair service.


Signs You Need Replacement (Not Repair)

  • Unit is 10+ years old
  • Rust or corrosion on the tank
  • Discolored hot water
  • Rumbling or popping noises
  • Water leaking from the tank itself
  • Multiple repairs within the past year

If your system isn’t leaking but still not performing, you may be dealing with a different issue—this guide explains why your water is not getting hot.

You can also explore all available options through our water heater services.

I bought an existing home 5 years ago. I have fought plumbing issues the entire 5 years. Today Aaron Plumbing installed a new hot water heater and I believe it has fixed all the issues I experienced. Come to find out the builder installed the original water heater incorrectly. Thank you to Collin who hung in there and got everything fixed. I highly recommend Aaron Plumbing.

Highly recommend! We had some plumbing issues that needed immediate attention, and Gabe did a fantastic job replacing our PVC drain pipe, water pressure valve, and the hot water heater expansion tank. He was professional, efficient, and clean. It is such a relief to have everything working perfectly again. Will absolutely call them first for any future plumbing needs!

Aaron Plumbing replaced our 50 Ib. water heater that had started leaking around the bottom. CJ, our technician was professional and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to explain the installation and answered all my questions about the water heater. He left the area he worked in cleaner than it was before. Very happy with the experience and the price was reasonable.

I contacted Aaron Plumbing for a leak on my the ceiling. The plumber CJ was very polite, professional and honest. He quickly determines that the water leak was indeed from the shower overflowing. But he also did a thorough inspection of my water pipes and heater and sure enough found that my PRV valve was not working as it was allowing upwards of 90pai of water pressure instead of the standard 60psi. This high pressure is not good for pipes especially in an older house like mine. He also found that the thermal expansion tank on the water heater was full of water and not working per design. I really appreciated CJ taking the time to check all this stuff - he potentially saved me potential headaches and money had my pipes busted and sprung leaks from the high pressure or thermal expansions issues with my heater - very grateful. This is my third time using Aaron and it won’t be my last. Thank you CJ.

Very good and came right on time. Did the flushing job on the tankless water heater and made sure pressure and all was good. This was maintenance not repair. CJ was professional friendly and efficient.

My husband was taking a shower for work and noticed that there was no hot water. Our hot water heater had seen better days . So we needed someone to help us. I googled a place that would be close and had good reviews and decided to give Aaron Services a call. They sent the technician, Dillion, within a couple of hours! He was super helpful, no pressure, and straight forward on prices and everything! He was friendly and knowledgeable. I think that Aaron Services hires experienced employees who are trustworthy and reliable! Thank you again Dillion!
