At Empire Plumbing, we are your trusted local experts for new water heater installation. We provide fast, definitive solutions to ensure your system is installed safely, efficiently, and built to last. We specialize in diagnosing your specific needs, recommending the best system (tank or tankless), and executing the entire process with minimal disruption.
Why Professional Water Heater Installation Is Non-Negotiable
Ignoring the need for a professional installation risks more than cold showers. A poorly installed water heater, especially a gas or tankless unit, can waste energy, drive up utility bills, or create unsafe conditions.
Certified Empire Plumbing professionals provide the expert precision and state-of-the-art knowledge required for modern water heater systems. We use a detail-oriented approach to solve potential problems before they start, protecting your property and your long-term investment.
- Built to Code: Every installation is done to local safety and building code, with the gas, venting and pressure relief work done right the first time.
- Expert Sizing and Selection: We help you choose the right unit, tank or tankless, measured against how your household actually uses hot water rather than fitting a standard model everywhere.
- Gas Tankless Specialists: We are certified Navien partners and install gas tankless systems, including the gas line and venting work a tank to tankless conversion requires. We also service Rheem, Lochinvar and most other brands.
- Warranty Protection: Our service work carries a 30-day labor warranty and equipment carries 1 year, on top of the manufacturer's warranty. For tankless units, the brands we work with require a yearly flush to keep that manufacturer warranty valid, and we can handle it for you.
- Old Unit Removal:
We drain, disconnect and remove your old water heater as part of the job, and leave the space clean.
Upgrade to Endless Comfort, Safety, and Savings
Our expert service ensures your unit operates at peak efficiency, improves your daily routine, and prevents future emergencies.
- Maximized Energy Efficiency: A properly installed and sized unit operates with minimal energy waste, leading to noticeable savings on your monthly utility bills.
- Reliable Hot Water, Instantly: Enjoy consistent, dependable hot water flow and pressure without worrying about the tank running empty.
- Extended Unit Lifespan: A professional setup reduces wear on the system. A tankless unit lasts around 20 years when it is properly installed and descaled every year.
- Total Safety & Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing your gas lines, electrical connections, and pressure relief valves were installed by a licensed and insured professional.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installation
Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?
This depends on your usage, budget, and available space. Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water and better energy efficiency, but have a higher upfront cost. Traditional tank models are more cost-effective initially. We provide an in-home consultation to help you choose the best system for your specific needs.
How long does a water heater installation last?
A straight tank to tank replacement is usually the quickest job. A conversion from a tank to a tankless system takes longer, because the gas line, venting and water lines all need to be adjusted. We give you a clear timeline with your upfront estimate, before any work starts.
Is my old water heater removed and disposed of?
Yes. We drain, disconnect and remove your old water heater as part of the installation, and leave the space clean.
Is the installation labor covered by a warranty?
Yes, Empire Plumbing backs our labor with a comprehensive service warranty, in addition to the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself. We stand behind our work to ensure your peace of mind.
Do you install electric tankless water heaters?
No. We install gas tankless units. Gas handles the whole-home demand most households here need, and it is what homes in Northern Utah are generally set up for. If a conventional electric tank is the right fit for your home, that is work we do too.
Which water heater brands do you install?
We are certified Navien partners, and Rheem, Navien and Lochinvar are the brands we see most in homes here. We service most other brands as well. See our tankless water heater [link: /tankless-water-heater] page for more.
Do you offer financing on a new water heater?
Yes. Financing is available on every job, through a pre-qualification application, and estimates are free on larger jobs.
When is the best time to replace a water heater?
Before it fails. Fall and winter are our busiest months for water heater replacements, so booking ahead of the cold gets you more scheduling options. If yours is leaking, making noise or running out of hot water, see our water heater replacement page.
Your Home’s Comfort and Safety Are Our Priority.
Ready to install a new, high-efficiency water heater? The friendly, professional team at Empire Plumbing is here to provide fast, reliable water heater installation services with clear, upfront pricing.
If your home is heated by a boiler rather than a furnace, that is a different system and a different job. See our boiler repair and service page, or boiler installation and replacement if yours is at the end of its life.
Tank or Gas Tankless: Which One We Would Install
Tankless is not automatically the right answer for every home, and we would rather tell you that up front.
Tankless makes sense when you never want to run out of hot water, you want the floor space a tank takes up, and your gas line and venting can support it or you are open to that work.
A tank may still be the better choice when you draw a lot of hot water at once across several fixtures, or the upfront difference matters more than the running cost.
We look at your home and your hot water habits and tell you which way we would go if it were our house. More detail on our
tankless water heater page.
What a New Water Heater Installation Costs
Every home is different, so we do not quote a number before we see it. These are the things that move the price:
- The size of unit your household actually needs
- Whether it is a straight replacement or a conversion from tank to tankless
- Gas line capacity, and whether it needs upgrading
- Venting requirements for the new unit
You get upfront pricing before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Estimates are free on larger jobs, and financing is available on every job.
