Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Cleveland
No hot water? Leaking tank? We replace gas, electric and tankless water heaters across Cleveland's west side — usually the same day — with permits, code-compliant venting and haul-away handled.
Water heaters are one of the jobs we do most. We show up when we say we will, install it right the first time and leave the space cleaner than we found it — it's a big part of why we have more than 200 five-star reviews on Google, Yelp and Thumbtack.
What's included in a replacement
- Removal and haul-away of the old tank
- New gas or electric tank sized to your household
- New shut-off valve, supply connectors and gas flex line as needed
- Code-compliant venting, expansion tank and relief valve discharge
- Drain pan where needed in finished basements
- Permit where your city requires it, and a full test before we leave
Repair or replace?
If your water heater is under about 8 years old and the problem is a thermocouple, gas valve, element or thermostat, repair usually makes sense. If it's 10–12+ years old, leaking from the tank or full of rust, replacing it makes more sense. We'll give you both options honestly.
Tank or tankless?
Most Cleveland homes are well served by a 40- or 50-gallon gas tank. Larger households, homes with big tubs or several bathrooms, and anyone tired of running out of hot water should look at tankless. See our tankless water heater page for the trade-offs.
Signs you need this service
- No hot water or not enough hot water
- Water pooling around the base of the tank
