Sizing It Correctly
The most common mistake in water heater installation is undersizing. A 40-gallon tank that worked fine for a couple won’t keep up after kids are added to the household. First-hour rating — how much hot water the heater can deliver in the first hour of use — matters more than tank size alone. We calculate the right capacity for your household before recommending a unit.
What the Installation Includes
Removal and disposal of the old unit. Installation of the new water heater with proper connections. Expansion tank installation if required by your local code (most DFW municipalities require it on closed systems). Setting and testing the temperature-pressure relief valve. Testing for correct operation before we leave. City permit where required — we handle it.
Tank or Tankless?
Tank heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to service. Tankless heaters cost more upfront but deliver endless hot water and use less energy. The right choice depends on your usage patterns, your gas line capacity, and your budget. We install both and will walk you through the tradeoffs — not push you toward the more expensive option.
