Water Heater Installation Costs
When you need to get a water heater installed, you’ll find the prices can vary depending on the type of water heater being installed. A standard 50-gallon electric water heater will usually cost about $1,000 to install, while a gas water heater may cost from $1,000-$1,500 for installation. If you have opted for a tankless water heater, installation costs may range from $1,500 to as much as $3,000. This is often due to plumbers having to reroute existing pipes or install new ones to accommodate your new water heater. This also applies to gas water heaters, especially if you are converting from electric to gas.
Here at Boss Plumbing, our water heater installation costs are always priced very affordably for our customers. Since we do only what absolutely needs to be done to get your water heater properly and safely installed, you don’t have to worry about incurring any unnecessary costs associated with your water heater installation. Instead of receiving a bill that will send your jaw straight to the floor, you’ll always get a fair price when dealing with us here at Boss Plumbing.
Is a Permit Required to Install or Replace a Water Heater in LA?
When installing or replacing a water heater here in Los Angeles or nearby communities, California law does require that a permit be obtained. While you may wonder why a permit is necessary, much of it has to do with making sure your water heater installation is done correctly. Should it not be and your home suffers damage related to your water heater, it is possible your insurance company could reject your damage claim due to improper installation.
Here at Boss Plumbing, we do all the hard work for you regarding your water heater installation permit. In fact, we take care of all the paperwork associated with your local building code office, since we will file the paperwork on your behalf to ensure the installation gets done right away. Along the way, we will of course make sure your water heater installation is done in accordance with all current building and safety codes. Since these laws change every few years, you’ll want to deal only with professional plumbers who stay abreast of these changes, which is why you should trust us here at Boss Plumbing.
When it’s Time for Installation or Replacement Services
Should you be unsure as to whether you actually need to get your existing water heater replaced, we’ve got some tips that will help you realize installation or replacement services are needed.
Very Little Hot Water
If you notice your hot water is not lasting very long, water heater replacement is probably necessary, especially if your water heater is more than 10 years old.
Loud Noises
Should your water heater sound as if it is rumbling, bumbling, and stumbling day after day, this means its operational lifespan is coming to an end.
Rusty Water
When you notice rusty water coming out of your tap, this usually indicates your water heater has started to corrode on the inside. Once this becomes evident, replacement is necessary.
Puddles on the Floor
Remember, you want water inside your water heater’s tank, not on the floor beside the tank. Should you notice this, it can mean nothing good. In most cases, either your water heater is leaking due to rust and corrosion, or the pressure relief valve is opening and letting water escape, meaning the pressure within the tank is getting too high at times.
