From simple tank replacements to complex tankless installations requiring electrical upgrades - we handle the full electrical scope so your new water heater works safely and reliably.
Planning Your Water Heater Electrical Installation Project
Planning a water heater electrical installation involves more decisions than most homeowners realize. You're not just picking out a water heater and having someone hook it up - you need to think about your home's electrical capacity, what type of unit makes sense, and what kind of electrical work will be required to make it all work safely.
The planning stage is where you can save yourself headaches and unexpected costs down the road. Getting the electrical side figured out early helps ensure your project goes smoothly and your new water heater works the way it should.
Water Heater Electrical Installation
Water heater electrical projects range from straightforward replacements to complex installations that require significant electrical upgrades. Most electric water heaters need dedicated electrical circuits that can handle substantial power demands safely.
The complexity of your electrical installation depends on several factors: what type of water heater you're installing, your home's current electrical setup, and whether you're replacing an existing unit or adding water heating capacity where none existed before.
Electric vs Tankless Water Heater Wiring
One of your first planning decisions is choosing between a traditional tank water heater and a tankless unit, because this choice has huge implications for your electrical setup and project costs.
Tank water heaters are the simpler option electrically. Tankless units are electrical powerhouses that need serious planning consideration. When you turn on hot water, they instantly draw massive amounts of electricity to heat water on demand.
The key planning insight is that tankless units can turn a straightforward water heater replacement into a major electrical renovation project. If your electrical panel is older or already near capacity, a tankless unit might mean upgrading your entire electrical service.
Schedule Water Heater Electrical Service
Smart project planning means getting professional input early in your decision-making process, not after you've already bought a water heater and discovered your electrical setup won't support it.
The most successful water heater projects start with good electrical planning. Let us help you figure out what your project will actually involve so you can make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.

FAQS
Common Questions, Answered
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for a new water heater?
It depends on what type of water heater you choose. Regular tank water heaters usually work with your existing setup, but tankless units often need panel upgrades.
Can I wire a water heater myself?
No, this isn't a DIY project. Water heater wiring requires professional installation for your safety and to meet local codes.
How much does water heater electrical work cost?
Costs depend on your water heater type and what electrical work is needed. We'll give you a clear estimate after evaluating your specific situation.
Will my power be out during installation?
Yes, we need to shut off power for safety during the electrical work. We'll coordinate timing with you and restore power as quickly as possible.
How long does installation take?
Tank water heater wiring usually takes a few hours. Tankless installations can take longer if electrical upgrades are needed.
What if my home's wiring is old?
We'll check if your existing wiring can safely handle your new water heater. If not, we'll explain what updates are needed and why.

Great company to get your air conditioning done by. They were the lowest quote out of the 3 companies I had come out. The guys came out and put in a new furnace, coil, plenums, and condenser. American standard was the brand and it looks great. Ron Sanford was very professional and made sure everything was right and working before they were done.
