What Our Customers Are Saying

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?

    Most standard tank-to-tank replacements can be completed in 3-4 hours. A conversion from a traditional tank to a tankless unit often requires 6-8 hours due to the necessary adjustments to gas lines, venting, and water lines. We provide a clear, accurate timeline with your upfront estimate.

  • Is my old water heater removed and disposed of?

    Yes. Our full-service installation includes the complete removal, haul-away, and eco-friendly disposal of your old water heater, ensuring a seamless and mess-free experience for you.

  • 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.
