What Does a Water Heater Replacement Cost?

Nobody wants to be surprised by the price tag, and we’re upfront about everything we do. The cost of a traditional water heater replacement depends on a few key factors, including:

  • The size of the tank. Larger households usually need a 50-gallon heater, while smaller homes might be fine with a 40-gallon model. Bigger tanks cost more but deliver more hot water.
  • Whether it’s a gas or electric model. Gas units tend to cost a bit more upfront but can save on energy bills over time.
  • Where it’s installed. Replacing a water heater in a tight closet or attic may take more time than swapping one in a garage.
  • Code and connection updates. If your current unit is outdated, we may need to bring connections, venting, or drip pans up to code.


If you’re replacing a water heater in the same home, you’ll likely be paying less than you did when it was first installed, so that’s some good news. Rest assured, we’ll walk you through all of the water heater installation costs upfront before any work begins.

A Quick Water Heater Replacement Guide

A lot of Sacramento homes were built or remodeled with basic, one-size-fits-all water heaters, and that might be part of why you’re having trouble now. Undersized tanks, low efficiency, or outdated models often fall short. Keep in mind that you don’t have to replace your old unit with the exact same thing. There are better, more efficient options on the market today that can give you more hot water and fewer headaches. 

Here’s a quick water heater buying guide to help you figure out what to look for when replacing your traditional water heater.

Size and Capacity

If your old tank always left someone with a cold shower, chances are it wasn’t sized right for your household. Many older homes were outfitted with small or basic models that can’t keep up with modern usage. During your water heater replacement, we’ll look at your household size, peak usage times, and current setup to recommend the right gallon capacity—usually 40 or 50 gallons, but sometimes more.

Energy Efficiency

If your last water heater was installed over a decade ago, you’ll notice a big difference in efficiency today. New traditional tank models are built with better insulation and smarter heating systems that reduce standby heat loss. We’ll help you compare options with higher Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) ratings or ENERGY STAR® certification, which can save you money month to month.

Fuel Type and Installation Location

Most Sacramento homes use either gas or electric water heaters, and we’ll make sure your replacement fits your existing setup or help you switch if that’s a better long-term option. We’ll also assess where the water heater lives (garage, closet, attic, utility room) and confirm that venting, drain pans, plumbing, and electrical meet current code.

Recovery Time

Still waiting ages for your tank to reheat after showers or laundry? Many older units have slower recovery rates that just don’t cut it anymore. Newer models—especially gas—heat faster and more efficiently. As part of your replacement, we’ll show you which options can cut down the wait so you’re not stuck with lukewarm water anymore.

America’s Plumbing Company installs all makes and models, and we can also help you explore a tankless water heater installation if you’re interested.

From East Sacramento to Pocket-Greenhaven and Land Park, we make sure your water heater replacement in Sacramento is the right fit for your home, your budget, and your daily routine.
