Water Heater Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Installation

First, we assess your current setup and discuss your household’s hot water needs. This isn’t about selling you the most expensive unit—it’s about finding what actually works for your family size, usage patterns, and budget.

Next, we handle the removal of your old water heater and prepare the installation area. This includes checking gas lines, electrical connections, and venting systems to ensure everything meets current code requirements. We also verify proper clearances and access for future maintenance.

Then comes the installation itself. We connect your new water heater according to manufacturer specifications and local codes, test all connections for leaks, and verify proper operation. Before we leave, we walk you through basic maintenance and answer any questions about your new system.

The whole process typically takes 3-4 hours for a standard replacement, though complex installations or upgrades may take longer. We clean up completely and haul away your old unit.

Tankless and Tank Installation Options

What's Included With Every Installation

Every water heater installation includes proper sizing consultation, code-compliant installation, and thorough testing before we consider the job complete. We handle all permits required for the work and ensure your installation passes inspection.

You’ll receive manufacturer warranties on your new equipment plus our labor warranty on the installation work. We also provide a complete walkthrough of your new system, including maintenance recommendations and what to watch for over time.

For tankless installations, we evaluate your home’s gas supply and electrical requirements, upgrading what’s necessary for optimal performance. Tank installations include proper venting verification and temperature/pressure relief valve replacement. We stock quality units from trusted manufacturers and can often complete same-day installation for emergency replacements.

Whether you’re upgrading to tankless for space savings and endless hot water, or replacing an old tank with a high-efficiency model, we make sure your new water heater delivers the performance and reliability you expect.

Should I choose tankless or a traditional tank water heater for my home?

It depends on your household’s hot water usage and priorities. Tankless units provide endless hot water and save space, making them ideal for families who use a lot of hot water simultaneously or homes with limited utility room space. They also last longer—typically 15-20 years versus 8-12 for tanks. However, tankless units cost more upfront and may require gas line or electrical upgrades. Traditional tanks cost less initially and are simpler to install, but they can run out of hot water during peak usage and take up more space. We’ll assess your specific situation—family size, usage patterns, existing utilities, and budget—to recommend what makes the most sense for your home.

How long does water heater installation typically take in Sheridan?

Most standard water heater replacements take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, testing all connections, and cleanup. Tankless installations often take longer—typically 4-6 hours—especially if we need to upgrade gas lines or electrical service. Complex installations involving permit requirements, venting modifications, or location changes can take a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront based on your specific situation. For emergency replacements, we stock common sizes and can often complete same-day installation if you call early in the day. Weather and access issues can affect timing, but we always communicate any delays and work efficiently to restore your hot water as quickly as possible.

What size water heater do I need for my family?

Water heater sizing depends on your household size and usage patterns, not just the number of people. A family of four with teenagers who take long showers needs more capacity than a couple with minimal hot water use. For tank units, most 2-3 person households do well with 40-50 gallons, while 4+ person families typically need 50-80 gallons. Tankless sizing is based on flow rate—how many fixtures might run simultaneously. We calculate your peak demand by adding up potential simultaneous usage: shower (2.5 GPM), dishwasher (1.5 GPM), washing machine (2 GPM), etc. Then we recommend a unit that can handle that flow rate while achieving your desired temperature rise. Proper sizing prevents running out of hot water and avoids wasting energy on oversized equipment.

Do you handle permits and inspections for water heater installation?

Yes, we handle all permit requirements for water heater installations in Sheridan and Placer County. Most water heater replacements require permits to ensure code compliance and safety, especially for gas units or when upgrading electrical service for tankless models. We pull the necessary permits, schedule inspections, and ensure your installation passes all requirements. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims. The permit cost is included in our installation quote, so there are no surprise fees. We’re familiar with local code requirements including proper venting, clearances, earthquake strapping, and temperature/pressure relief valve installation. Having permits and passing inspection also ensures your manufacturer warranty remains valid and your installation meets current safety standards.

What brands of water heaters do you install and recommend?

We install quality brands known for reliability and backed by solid warranties—including Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, and Rinnai for tankless units. We don’t push one brand over others because different manufacturers excel in different areas. Rheem offers good value and wide availability of parts. Bradford White builds commercial-grade residential units. AO Smith provides innovative efficiency features. Rinnai leads in tankless technology and performance. We recommend specific models based on your needs, budget, and local service support. More important than brand is proper sizing, quality installation, and choosing a unit with features that match your priorities—whether that’s maximum efficiency, longest warranty, or best value. We stock popular sizes from multiple manufacturers and can special order specific models if needed.

What warranty coverage comes with professional water heater installation?

You get two types of warranty protection: manufacturer coverage on the equipment and our labor warranty on installation work. Manufacturer warranties typically cover the tank for 6-12 years and parts for 1-3 years, depending on the model you choose. Higher-end units often include longer coverage. Our labor warranty covers the installation work for one full year, including any leaks, connection issues, or problems related to our workmanship. This means if something goes wrong with how we installed your water heater, we fix it at no charge. We also provide ongoing support—if you have questions about operation or minor issues, we’re available to help. Warranty coverage requires proper installation by licensed professionals and regular maintenance. We’ll explain your specific warranty terms and provide all documentation needed for future warranty claims.
