What size water heater do I need?

For a 1–2 person household, a 30–40 gallon tank is typically sufficient. 3–4 people: 40–50 gallons. 5+ people: 50–75 gallons. We assess your household demand and recommend the right first-hour rating for your usage pattern.

How long do water heaters last?

Tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years. Signs it's time to replace: rust-colored water, rumbling from sediment buildup, visible tank corrosion, or repeated repair calls. A unit over 10 years old with a failure is usually better replaced than repaired.

Do you handle same-day water heater replacement?

Yes — we stock the most common 40 and 50-gallon tank sizes on the truck for same-day replacement. If you need a specialty size or tankless unit, we schedule within 24–48 hours.

Do you remove and haul away the old water heater?

Yes. Old tank removal and disposal is included in the replacement quote — we haul it out and dispose of it properly.
