Water Heater Installation Process

Simple Installation, Professional Results

The process starts with assessing your current situation and hot water needs. We evaluate your existing setup, discuss your household’s usage patterns, and recommend the right size and type of water heater for your home.

Next comes removing your old unit safely and preparing the installation area. This includes checking connections, ensuring proper ventilation, and making any necessary adjustments to meet current safety codes.

The new water heater installation follows manufacturer specifications and local building requirements. All connections are tested for leaks, the system is properly flushed, and you receive a walkthrough of basic maintenance to keep your new unit running efficiently. The work area is cleaned up, and you have hot water restored the same day in most cases.

How long does water heater installation typically take?

Most water heater installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish, depending on your specific situation. If you’re replacing a similar unit in the same location with existing proper connections, the process is usually straightforward. However, if upgrades to gas lines, electrical connections, or venting are needed to meet current codes, installation may take longer. We provide a realistic timeframe after assessing your setup and discuss any potential complications upfront so you know what to expect.
The right choice depends on your household’s hot water usage, available space, and budget. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families, providing a large reservoir of hot water ready when needed. Tankless units cost more initially but save space, last longer, and provide endless hot water on demand while using less energy. For larger families with high simultaneous usage, a tank system might be more practical. For smaller households or homes with limited space, tankless often makes more sense.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size and usage patterns, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank unit, but if you have teenagers taking long showers, run multiple appliances simultaneously, or have a large soaking tub, you might need more capacity. For tankless units, sizing is based on flow rate and temperature rise needed. We evaluate your specific usage patterns and recommend the right size to ensure you never run out of hot water during peak demand times.
Installation costs vary based on the type of unit, complexity of the job, and any necessary upgrades to meet current codes. Basic tank water heater replacement typically runs less than complex tankless installations that might require new gas lines or electrical work. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation, including any permit fees or additional work needed. You’ll know the total cost before any work begins, with no surprise charges or hidden fees added later.
Yes, CG Plumbing handles all necessary permits and ensures installations meet local building codes and safety requirements. This includes proper venting, gas line connections, electrical work, and seismic strapping where required. We coordinate any required inspections and ensure everything passes before considering the job complete. You don’t need to worry about navigating permit processes or wondering if the installation meets current standards – that’s all handled as part of our professional installation service.
You receive manufacturer warranty coverage on the water heater unit itself, plus CG Plumbing’s warranty on the installation workmanship. This means if any issues arise with how the unit was installed – connections, fittings, or installation-related problems – those are covered separately from the equipment warranty.

Warranty terms are explained clearly when the work is completed, so you understand exactly what’s covered and for how long.
