When you first become a property owner, you might not get the option to choose what kind of water heater you want to be installed—it just comes with the home. However, if you’re building a brand-new residence, you have more options. When choosing between a gas and an electric water heater, be aware that gas water heaters tend to be more expensive to install, but they cost less in the long term to run. In many areas, natural gas is much cheaper than electricity. Gas heaters also tend to heat water faster than the average electric water heater.
On the other hand, electric water heaters tend to have higher energy factor (EF) ratings, meaning they tend to be more efficient. To choose which is best, compare the overall cost of a water heater installation against the amount you will be saving for that particular water heater model over the long term.
The cost of installing a new water heater will depend on several factors, including how much any existing warranties will cover the installation. However, on average, you can expect to pay between $1,300 and $5,000 out of pocket if you don’t have a home warranty. Usually, these costs will include the new water heater, permits, labor, installation material, disposal costs for the old water heater, and any other discarded materials.
The labor cost by itself can range between $150 to $800, depending on the type of plumber you choose. If your plumbing company charges by the hour, hourly rates will vary depending on the plumber's experience, the time of day, and the cost of living in the area.
More expensive cities will likely charge a higher hourly rate than less expensive cities, and if your water heater needs to be installed after hours, on the weekend, or during a holiday, the rates can double or even triple. Typically, plumbing companies that charge a flat-rate fee include labor in the total cost.
If you’re an experienced plumber, you might be able to install a water heater yourself. However, we don’t recommend this as a DIY project for the average property owner. Many water heaters require some knowledge of gas and electric safety, which many people don’t possess. If you make a mistake, you could be putting yourself and anyone else in the building at risk. You could also end up spending more money than you think by buying the wrong parts or products. Depending on where you live, you might even be required to have a plumbing permit before you can install a new heater. Without a license, you might create legal issues for yourself later if you try and sell your property.
If you think your water heater needs repair, don't overlook it. You don't want a small water heater repair problem to turn into a costly water heater repair. Some signs that you might need a water heater repair include:
Repairing your hot water heater early, as opposed to late, can save you money by repairing small problems before they become big ones. If your water heater breaks, it could leak 50 gallons or more of water into your home or garage.
