Water heater replacement: your questions.
How much does water heater replacement cost in Columbus?
A standard 40 to 50-gallon tank usually runs $1,600 to $2,800 installed, with labor, haul-away and the permit (demo figures). Tankless runs $3,500 to $6,000.
Why do I have no hot water?
On a gas water heater it's often the pilot or the thermocouple; on an electric one, a tripped breaker or a failed element. Tankless units usually show an error code. If the tank is more than about 10 years old, rumbles, or is leaking at the base, it's usually time to replace it rather than repair it.
How long does a water heater last?
A tank usually lasts 8 to 12 years; a tankless unit can last 20 with yearly flushing. Hard water shortens both.
Can you replace it the same day?
Often, yes, for a standard tank we have in stock. Tankless installs usually take a day to plan and a day to fit.
