What's Included With Installation
Every water heater installation includes removal and disposal of your old unit, professional installation of the new system, and connection to existing gas or electrical lines. We handle all necessary permits and ensure everything meets local Brockton building codes. For Brockton’s older homes, we often need to update connections or modify installations to work with existing plumbing layouts. Many homes built before 1980 require special consideration for proper venting and clearances. We also provide a free main sewer line camera inspection with new installations. This helps identify potential issues that could affect your new water heater’s performance down the road.

How long does water heater installation take in Brockton homes?

Most standard water heater installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old unit, installing the new one, and testing everything to make sure it’s working properly. Brockton’s older homes sometimes need additional time if we’re updating gas lines, electrical connections, or venting systems to meet current codes. We’ll let you know upfront if your installation will take longer than usual. Tankless installations typically take 4-6 hours since they often require new gas lines or electrical upgrades to handle the higher power requirements.
Tank water heaters work well for most Brockton families and cost less upfront. They’re reliable, straightforward to maintain, and replacement parts are readily available. If you have consistent hot water usage patterns, a quality tank unit will serve you well. Tankless systems make sense if you want to save space or have very high hot water demands. They heat water on-demand, so you never run out. However, they cost more initially and may require electrical or gas line upgrades in older homes. We’ll assess your home’s setup and usage patterns to recommend what works best for your situation and budget.
Most Brockton homes with 2-3 people do well with a 40-50 gallon tank water heater. Families of 4-5 people typically need 50-80 gallons, depending on usage habits. We calculate sizing based on your household size, number of bathrooms, and peak usage times. If everyone showers in the morning or you run multiple appliances simultaneously, you’ll need more capacity. For tankless systems, we look at your maximum simultaneous hot water demand. Running two showers plus a dishwasher requires more heating capacity than one shower at a time.
Standard tank water heater installation typically ranges from $1,200-$2,500, including the unit and labor. The final cost depends on the water heater size, efficiency rating, and any necessary updates to gas lines or electrical connections. Tankless installations cost more, usually $2,500-$4,500, because they often require electrical upgrades or new gas lines to handle higher power requirements. Older Brockton homes may need additional work to meet current codes. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the job is done.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater services throughout Brockton. When your water heater fails completely, we can often provide same-day installation to restore your hot water quickly. Emergency installations follow the same quality standards as scheduled work. We keep common water heater sizes in stock specifically for emergency situations, so we’re not waiting on special orders. If your current unit is leaking or creating safety concerns, we can temporarily shut off the system and schedule priority installation within 24 hours.
All water heater installations include our 1-year labor warranty covering any issues with the installation work. The water heater itself comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, typically 6-12 years depending on the model. Our labor warranty covers connections, fittings, and any installation-related problems that develop. If something needs adjustment or repair due to our work, we’ll fix it at no charge. We also provide a 7-day warranty on any drain cleaning work needed during installation. This ensures your new water heater has proper drainage from day one.
