Cost to Install a New Water Heater
Replacing a water heater is an essential investment for homeowners experiencing problems with their current heating system. Four Seasons provides installation services for new homes, older homes, and for individuals looking to upgrade to more efficiency or a tankless model. Because there's such a wide range of options and unique considerations when replacing a water heater, it's helpful to get a sense of the range of costs before getting an official estimate. Below, we've put together the general range of costs for putting in a new water heater system.Â
| Typical Range | Average Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Water Heater | $2,000 – $5,000 | $3,500 | Tankless Water Heater | $5,500 – $8,500 | $6,500 |
Understanding Costs Related to Water Heaters
Every home has a unique plumbing layout, venting setup, and access conditions. This means no two water heater installations are the same. That’s why pricing can vary widely, depending on the brand, type, installation location, and code requirements.
The pricing we are providing here is ballpark pricing that gives you a sense of the range. Most installations cost between $2,000 and $7,000. But an individual cost estimate depends on a number of factors that are determined on-site by a licensed professional. Below are just a few of those factors.
Brand & Model
We install trusted brands like A.O. Smith, Rheem, and Bradford White. For high-efficiency tankless units, we install Navien and Bosch.
Size / Capacity
Larger tanks (50–75 gallons) or high-flow tankless systems usually require more materials. They may also need extra venting and upgrades for gas or electricity.
Venting Requirements
Correct vent sizing and material (PVC, B-vent, stainless) can impact cost — especially when older venting must be replaced to meet current codes.
Location / Access
Installations in tight spaces, lofts, or upper levels (e.g., up several flights of stairs) may require extra labor and handling time.
Existing Piping and Connections
Corroded or undersized gas, water, or vent lines often need to be replaced during installation for safety and performance.
Code Compliance
Some older homes have legacy installations that violate modern plumbing or safety codes. Bringing the setup up to municipal or state standards can add cost but ensures long-term reliability.
Warranty + Features
Extended warranties or advanced digital controls can raise upfront cost but add long-term value.
