Tankless, heat-pump, solar, or traditional storage tank — we install all four, and we'll tell you honestly which fits your house. Licensed for full plumbing scope across Marietta and metro Atlanta. Same-day for emergency leaks; install scheduling within 1-2 days.
Storage water heaters typically last 10-12 years; tankless 18-22. Five signs yours is on borrowed time:
If you used to get a 20-min shower and now you're cold at 8 minutes, the dip tube has failed or the tank's sediment-loaded.
Anode rod is exhausted. If you catch it before the tank corrodes through, a $150 anode replacement buys 4-5 more years.
A leaking tank doesn't get better. Once the inner tank is compromised, replacement is the only fix.
Sediment buildup at the bottom is overheating and superheating water pockets. Flush helps short-term; replacement is the long-term answer.
Thermocouple, gas valve, or venting issue. Often repairable, but if the tank is 10+ years it's worth pricing replacement at the same visit.
An aging water heater works harder. A modern tankless or heat-pump unit can cut hot-water energy use 30-50% — pays back in 4-6 years.

We measure the space, check gas/electric service, look at venting, and ask about your hot-water habits. Then we walk you through three options: storage / tankless / heat-pump (with solar if your roof can take it).
We carry common Rinnai, Navien, AO Smith, Rheem, and Bradley White units. Specialty orders take 2-3 days.
Most residential storage replacements: 3-4 hours. Tankless: 6-8 hours (gas line + venting). Heat-pump: 4-6 hours.
Before we leave: how to set the temp, when to flush sediment, what your warranty covers, and what to watch for in the first month.
Real numbers — not "starting at" decoys. Final number depends on your specific situation, but these brackets cover ~90% of Marietta water heater installation work.
40-50 gallon gas: $1,400–$2,400 installed. 80-gallon premium: $2,800–$3,600. Includes haul-off of the old unit.
Gas tankless from a reputable brand: $3,800–$5,800 installed. Electric tankless: lower upfront but typically needs panel upgrade.
$3,200–$4,800 installed. Best for unconditioned basements and garages — pulls heat from ambient air. Lower operating cost, higher upfront.
If your tank is under 8 years and the issue is contained (anode, thermocouple, element), repair makes sense. Past 10 years, replacement is usually the right move.
