Water Heater Cost
The cost of a water heater replacement can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of water heater, the size of the unit, and the cost of labor. On average, the cost of a water heater replacement can range from $1,100 to $2,000 or more.
​
Some of the factors that can impact the cost of a water heater replacement include:
​
Type of water heater: The cost of a water heater can vary depending on the type of unit you choose. Conventional tank water heaters are generally less expensive than tankless water heaters, but tankless units are more energy-efficient and can save you money on your energy bills in the long run.
* Pro Tip! Check with your local electric company or propane provider to find rebates you may be elligible for.
​
Size of the unit: The size of the water heater will also impact the cost of the replacement. A larger unit will cost more than a smaller one.
Installation costs: The cost of labor can vary depending on condition of existing plumbing connections and the complexity of the installation. Complexity is increased when the new unit is a different energy source than original unit or if there is a change in tank size or capacity.

​
It's worth noting that water heaters have a lifespan of around 8-12 years with proper maintenance, and when they get older they tend to be less energy efficient and may require more frequent repairs. Oftentimes, it's more cost-effective in the long run to replace an older unit rather than continually repairing it.
