Professional Water Heater Installation
Upgrade to a More Energy-Efficient Water Heater
If your water heater is more than 10 years old, requires frequent repairs, or isn’t meeting your household’s hot water needs, it may be time for a replacement. At Legacy Plumbing, we specialize in water heater installation services designed to upgrade your system and improve energy efficiency.
Benefits of installing a new water heater include:
- Improved Efficiency: Modern water heaters are designed to use less energy, which can result in lower utility bills.
- Consistent Hot Water Supply: A new water heater can provide more consistent hot water, especially during peak usage times.
- Reduced Maintenance: Newer systems often require less maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run.
- Environmentally Friendly: Many modern water heaters use eco-friendly technologies that reduce your carbon footprint.
We offer a range of water heater options, including tankless water heaters and traditional storage tank systems, to fit the specific needs of your home. Our team will help you select the right unit based on your household size, water usage, and budget, ensuring that your new system is installed efficiently and correctly.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Continuous Hot Water with Energy Savings
For homeowners looking for an energy-efficient and space-saving option, tankless water heaters are an excellent choice. Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, tankless systems heat water on demand, providing an endless supply of hot water whenever you need it.
Benefits of tankless water heaters include:
- Energy Savings: Because they only heat water when needed, tankless water heaters use less energy, which can lead to lower utility bills.
- Space-Saving Design: Without a bulky tank, these units take up less space, making them ideal for homes with limited storage.
- Longer Lifespan: Tankless water heaters tend to last longer than traditional models, often exceeding 20 years with proper maintenance.
- Endless Hot Water: You’ll never run out of hot water, even with multiple appliances running simultaneously.
Our expert team at Legacy Plumbing can help you determine if a tankless system is right for your home and handle the entire installation process from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Question
Common signs that your water heater may need repair or replacement include inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or discolored water, leaks around the tank, unusual noises (such as banging or popping), and a reduction in hot water supply. If your unit is over 10 years old and frequently requires repairs, it may be time to consider replacing it with a more energy-efficient model.
A traditional water heater stores and heats a large volume of water in a tank, which is then distributed throughout your home. A tankless water heater, on the other hand, heats water on demand, offering an endless supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank. Tankless systems are more energy-efficient but typically have a higher upfront installation cost compared to traditional tank water heaters.
Banging or popping noises from your water heater often indicate sediment buildup inside the tank. Over time, minerals from the water can settle at the bottom of the tank, causing the water heater to overheat and make noise. Flushing the tank can remove sediment, improving efficiency and extending the life of your unit.
The average lifespan of a water heater is about 10 to 15 years, depending on the type of water heater and how well it has been maintained. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and checking the anode rod, can help extend its lifespan. If your water heater is nearing this age range and showing signs of inefficiency, it may be time to consider replacement.
While it’s possible to install a water heater yourself, it is recommended to hire a professional. Water heater installation involves working with plumbing, gas lines (if applicable), and electrical components, all of which can be dangerous if not handled correctly. A licensed plumber ensures the installation is done safely and up to code, reducing the risk of future issues.
To improve the energy efficiency of your water heater, consider setting the thermostat to 120°F, insulating the tank and pipes, and scheduling regular maintenance to check for leaks or sediment buildup. Upgrading to a tankless water heater or a high-efficiency traditional model can also result in significant energy savings over time.
