What affects the price
The final price for a new water heater depends on a few moving parts. First, you have to choose the right fuel source—gas or electric—and decide if you want to stick with a standard tank or upgrade to a tankless model. We also look at the physical space where it sits and whether your current venting or gas lines meet modern safety codes. If we need to move the unit or upgrade plumbing to get it up to speed, that shifts the labor involved. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
While you might not think about hot water as much in the summer, it is a great time to evaluate your system’s health. Because the incoming groundwater is warmer, your heater doesn't have to work as hard, making it a stress-free window to replace an aging unit before you hit the busy autumn season.
Frequently asked in Aurora
How long do hot water heaters typically last?
In Aurora, standard tank water heaters generally last between 8 to 12 years. Tankless models, with diligent upkeep, can often serve homeowners for 20 years or longer. Factors such as water hardness and frequency of use in your Aurora home play a role in the unit's overall lifespan. Regular check-ups are advisable.
What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?
What is the most efficient type of water heater?
Tankless water heaters are widely considered the most efficient option for Aurora homes. They heat water on demand, meaning they don't waste energy keeping a large volume of water hot when it's not being used. This can lead to significant savings on energy bills over the lifespan of the unit.
What are signs I need a new water heater?
If you're noticing a significant decrease in hot water availability, or if the water coming from your taps has a rusty color or metallic taste, it's a warning sign. Leaks around the base of the unit or unusual noises like banging or popping are also indicators that it might be time for a replacement in your Aurora home. Address these promptly.
What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?
Sediment buildup is a frequent issue in tank-style water heaters, especially with the water quality in some areas. This can reduce heating efficiency and cause popping sounds. Other common problems include pilot light failures, thermostat malfunctions, and leaks, all of which can disrupt your hot water supply.
Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?
Repairing a water heater is often a sensible choice for newer units with minor issues, like a faulty heating element or a thermostat problem. However, if your water heater is older and experiencing major issues, such as a leaking tank, the cost of repairs may be better allocated towards a new, more efficient model. A professional assessment is recommended.
