Signs it is time to replace

Most plumbing problems give you warning before they become urgent. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having the system looked at now rather than after it fails.

Water is pooling under or around the tank
The unit is more than twelve years old
Hot water is rusty even after flushing
Repairs are becoming frequent or expensive
The unit no longer keeps up with your household

How a replacement goes

We size the unit to your household

An undersized heater leaves you cold and an oversized one wastes money every month. We size based on how your home actually uses hot water.

We walk you through tank versus tankless

Tankless costs more upfront, saves space, and delivers continuous hot water, but needs regular descaling — a real consideration on harder Lowcountry water. Tank units are simpler and cheaper to install. We explain the trade-offs for your home rather than pushing one.

We handle removal and installation

The old unit is drained and removed, the new one installed, connections and venting brought up to standard, and everything tested before we leave.

We confirm safe operation

Temperature, pressure relief, venting and connections all get checked, and we show you the shut-off before we go.

What is included

Sizing and equipment recommendation
Removal and disposal of the old unit
Professional installation of the new unit

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a water heater replacement take?

A straightforward tank-for-tank replacement is usually completed in a few hours. Converting to tankless, or work in a tight or elevated space, takes longer and we will tell you that in advance.

Should I switch to tankless?

It depends on your household, space and water. Tankless suits homes wanting continuous hot water and space savings, but it needs annual descaling here. If your water is hard and you are unlikely to keep up with service, a quality tank unit may serve you better.

What size water heater do I need?

It is driven by how many people use hot water at once, not just square footage. We size it during the visit rather than guessing over the phone.

Do you offer financing on a replacement?

Financing options may be available. Ask us when you schedule and we will explain what is possible.
