Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question here? Call us, we're happy to walk through it.
Call 504-500-4709A straightforward tank water heater replacement typically takes 2-3 hours. Tankless installations take 4-6 hours due to venting and gas line requirements. Complex installations may take longer.
Generally, if your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair is less than half the cost of replacement, repair makes sense. If it’s over 10 years old or has tank damage, replacement is usually the better investment.
Yes, for common sizes and models. We stock popular water heaters and can often complete same-day replacement for urgent situations. Call early in the day for best availability.
