Complete Water Heater Replacement Belmont

What's Included in Installation

Every water heater installation includes removal and proper disposal of your old unit. We don’t leave that mess for you to handle.

We also handle the permit process with the city of Belmont. Many homeowners don’t realize permits are required for water heater replacement, but we take care of the paperwork and inspections.

Your installation includes all necessary connections, proper venting for gas units, and code-compliant safety features. We test everything before we leave and provide you with warranty information for both the equipment and our labor.

How long does water heater installation take in Belmont?

Most standard water heater installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, connecting all plumbing and gas lines, and testing the system. If we’re switching from tank to tankless or dealing with significant plumbing modifications, it might take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan your day accordingly.

Do I need permits for water heater replacement in Belmont?

Yes, Belmont requires permits for water heater replacement to ensure the installation meets current safety codes. We handle the entire permit process for you—application, fees, and scheduling the required inspection. This isn’t something you want to skip. Unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell your home and may not be covered by insurance if something goes wrong.

Should I repair my water heater or replace it?

If your water heater is over 8-10 years old and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Older units are less efficient and likely to have more issues soon. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair buys you time to plan for replacement. Other times, continuing to repair an old unit just wastes money you could put toward a new, reliable system.

What size water heater do I need for my Belmont home?

Most Belmont homes do well with a 40-50 gallon tank water heater, but it depends on your household size and usage patterns. A family of four typically needs at least 50 gallons. If you’re considering tankless, we’ll calculate your peak demand based on how many fixtures might run simultaneously. We’ll assess your actual needs during our visit rather than guess, because an undersized unit leaves you without hot water when you need it most.

How much does water heater installation cost in Belmont?

Water heater installation costs vary based on the type of unit, your home’s existing setup, and any necessary modifications. Standard tank installations typically range from $1,200-$2,500 including the unit and labor. Tankless installations cost more upfront but save money long-term through energy efficiency. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.

Do you offer same-day water heater installation in Belmont?

Yes, when we have your water heater model in stock and can schedule the work. We keep common sizes on our trucks for exactly this reason—nobody wants to go days without hot water. Same-day installation depends on your schedule, permit processing time, and the complexity of your installation. We’ll let you know upfront whether same-day service is possible for your specific situation.
