Our Water Heater Installation Services
We provide hot water solutions designed to meet your preferences and maximize energy efficiency. Our services include water heater installations for new builds and replacement installations for spaces with existing systems. We service traditional tank and tankless systems along with gas and electric water heaters.
Traditional Tank Water Heater Installation
Traditional water heaters have large storage tanks that constantly heat the stored water to maintain a set temperature. Traditional water heaters typically last 12-15 years, offering reliable performance and consistent water temperatures. Our plumbers will help you choose the best size for your space before completing your seamless system install – you’ll have hot water in no time!
Tank water heaters are rated in gallons. Our water heater experts will calculate your household’s hourly water usage to determine peak-demand times, ensuring you never run out of hot water.
Quick Household Water-Heater Sizing Guide
- 1-2 people: 30-40 gallons
- 2-3 people: 40-50 gallons
- 3-4 people: 50-60 gallons
- 4+ people: 60-80+ gallons
Peak Usage Example: A typical shower uses 2.5 gallons per minute, while a dishwasher cycle requires about 6 gallons.
Tankless Water Heater Installation in Dallas
Tankless, or on-demand, water heaters are energy-efficient and can last up to 20 years. Water is heated only when needed, leading to significantly reduced monthly utility costs. Willard of Dallas’ tankless water heater technicians go the extra mile to verify proper system sizing so your home’s hot water needs are met, regardless of usage frequency. Tankless water heaters are a great choice for homes with less room to spare for their water heater.
Tankless systems are “sized” or rated in flow rates. Our technicians assess your simultaneous usage patterns to recommend the idea fit for your home.
Common Applications:
- Single bathroom: 2-4 GPM unit
- Multiple bathrooms: 6-8 GPM unit
- Whole house: 8-12+ GPM unit
Real-World Scenario: Running a shower (2.5 GPM) and dishwasher (1.5 GPM) simultaneously requires at least a 4 GPM tankless unit.
Gas Vs. Electric Water Heater Options
Compared to electric systems, gas systems typically offer faster heating and lower monthly operating costs. Gas-powered water heaters are energy-efficient and a common choice for larger homes. As the DFW metroplex’s preferred gas water heater installer, we can guide your replacement selection and provide worry-free installation.
In comparison, electric water heaters provide reliable performance with simpler installation and lower upfront costs. Electric systems are preferred when there is limited space for installation. They are less complex than gas systems and require fewer components, meaning less maintenance. However, they have a slower heating rate and higher operating costs than gas systems.
We install gas and electric systems. Our technicians will help you choose the best option based on your home’s existing utilities and your system preferences. When choosing the right option for your space, it’s important to consider budget, hot water usage, and fuel type availability.
Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement
A failing water heater rarely gives advance warning before breaking down completely. Recognizing early warning signs helps you plan a replacement on your terms rather than dealing with an emergency.
- Is approaching or exceeding 12-15 years (tank) or 20+ years (tankless).
- Inconsistent or reduced hot water flow than expected despite proper settings.
- Contains rust, debris, or discoloration in the water supply.
- Leaks around the tank or connections.
- Causes unexpectedly high energy bills due to declining efficiency.
- Frequent gas hot water heater repair is a sure sign you need replacement.
Early water heater replacement prevents emergency situations and potential water damage. A new water heater can significantly reduce your utility bills, reduce energy waste, and support consistent water temperatures and pressure throughout your home.

FAQs
How can I tell if my water heater is rusted?
A rusted tank will usually produce reddish water. This is a serious issue. You should call us as soon as you notice red water coming from your taps.
What’s the difference between a traditional water heater and a tankless water heater?
The core difference is that a tankless water system doesn’t store water until it’s ready to be used. The tankless system will adjust the flow for how much water your home needs, which can lead to savings on your utility bill since you’re not paying to heat a tankful of water.
Should I choose a traditional or tankless water heater?
This comes down to your personal preference. There are pluses and minuses to both, and our team will work with you to determine which type of water heater is best for your home and your needs.
