Water Heater Replacement Pricing Guide

Water heater replacement costs vary based on the type of heater, fuel source, and installation complexity. Factors like heater size, fuel type, and any necessary upgrades to venting or plumbing will influence the final cost. Including installation and labor, here are the average prices for our water heaters:

  • Tankless Water Heaters:  $3,700 – $4,575

    Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand without storing water in a tank, offering energy efficiency and space-saving design. The price range reflects variations in heating capacity, from 150k to 199k BTU, and includes both standard and advanced models with additional features like buffer tanks, higher flow rates, and enhanced energy efficiency.

  • Electric Tank Water Heaters:  $1,596 – $1,840

    Electric tank water heaters use electric resistance heaters to heat water stored in a tank. The price varies based on tank size, ranging from 40 to 50 gallons. For 80 gallon, current government regulations require you to use a heat pump water heater.

  • Natural Gas Tank Water Heaters:  $1,793 – $4,691

    Natural gas tank water heaters rely on natural gas to heat the water and include both Natural Draft and Power Vent models. The price range is influenced by the type of venting system and tank size, which ranges from 30 to 75 gallons.

  • LP Gas Tank Water Heaters:  $1,872 – $3,476

    LP gas tank water heaters use liquefied petroleum gas for heating and come in Natural Draft and Power Vent varieties. The price varies depending on the venting system and tank capacity, which ranges from 30 to 75 gallons.

  • Heat Pump Tank Water Heaters:  $3,886 – $4,124

    Heat pump water heaters transfer heat from the air to heat the water, making them much more efficient than electric. The price reflects differences in tank size, ranging from 50 to 80 gallons, and energy efficiency features, such as hybrid modes.
