Water Heater Installation Process Concord

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

First, we assess your current setup and discuss your household’s hot water needs. We’ll recommend the right size and type of water heater for your home, not just what we have on the truck.

Next, we handle the permits and scheduling. We’ll shut off utilities safely, remove your old unit, and dispose of it properly. Then comes the installation – connecting gas or electric lines, water lines, and venting according to local codes.

Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we leave. We’ll show you how to operate your new water heater, explain the warranty, and make sure you’re completely satisfied. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’ll have hot water the same day.

Complete Water Heater Installation Services

Everything's Included in Your Installation

Your water heater installation includes everything needed for a complete, code-compliant job. We handle permit applications, utility disconnections, and proper disposal of your old unit.

We install gas, electric, and tankless water heaters from major manufacturers. All connections are made to current Concord building codes, including proper venting, electrical work, and gas line connections. We also install new shut-off valves, pressure relief valves, and expansion tanks when required.

Every installation comes with a comprehensive warranty covering both parts and labor. We’ll also show you basic maintenance tips to keep your new water heater running efficiently for years to come.

How long does water heater installation take in Concord?

Most water heater installations in Concord take 3-5 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, and testing everything thoroughly. If we need to upgrade gas lines, electrical connections, or venting, it might take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan your day. Emergency installations can often be completed the same day you call, depending on our schedule and parts availability.

Do I need permits for water heater installation in Concord?

Yes, Concord requires permits for water heater installations, and we handle that process for you. The permit ensures your installation meets local safety codes and building requirements. We’ll pull the permit, schedule the required inspection, and make sure everything passes. This protects you if you ever sell your home or file an insurance claim. DIY installations without permits can create problems down the road, so it’s worth doing it right the first time.

What size water heater do I need for my home?

Water heater size depends on your household’s hot water usage, not just the number of people. A family of four typically needs a 40-50 gallon tank, but if you have teenagers taking long showers or run multiple appliances simultaneously, you might need larger. We calculate your peak hour demand by looking at your fixtures, appliances, and usage patterns. Tankless units are sized differently based on flow rate and temperature rise. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the right size during our consultation.

How much does water heater installation cost in Concord?

Water heater installation costs in Concord typically range from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the type of unit, installation complexity, and any necessary upgrades. Basic tank replacements cost less than tankless installations or situations requiring new gas lines or electrical work. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Factors affecting cost include permit fees, disposal of your old unit, and whether your current setup meets current codes.

Should I choose a tankless or traditional water heater?

Both have advantages depending on your situation. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families. Tankless units save space, last longer, and provide endless hot water, but cost more initially and may require electrical or gas upgrades. If you have high hot water demand or limited space, tankless makes sense. For straightforward replacements where the existing setup works fine, traditional tanks are often the better choice. We’ll explain the pros and cons based on your specific home and usage patterns.

What happens to my old water heater after installation?

We handle complete removal and disposal of your old water heater as part of our installation service. We’ll drain it safely, disconnect all utilities, and haul it away. Most old water heaters get recycled – the steel tank and other metal components have value. We follow Concord’s disposal requirements and won’t leave you dealing with a heavy, bulky appliance. This is included in your installation cost, so you don’t need to worry about renting a truck or finding a disposal facility.
