WEIGHING YOUR OPTIONS

Sediment or a household that's outgrown the tank.
THE EQUIPMENT IS ONLY PART OF THE PICTURE
Getting the replacement right
Sizing.
We size the tank (typically 40 to 80 gallons) to your household's actual hot water use.
Fuel.
Gas, propane or electric, matched to what your home has, or a switch if it saves you money.
Venting and code.
Gas units need proper venting; every install needs a working relief valve and safe connections.
Tank or tankless? If you keep running out of hot water, a tankless unit may be worth comparing.
Diagnosis first, then a clear recommendation.
We find the cause, explain it in plain language and give you the price before work begins. If a repair makes sense, we’ll say so—and if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you why.
