Water Heater Unit & Installation Cost Guide

water heater priceA water heater is an essential home appliance that makes our daily lives more convenient. After all, you use hot water not only when taking a bath but also on other activities such as cooking and even cleaning. However, it is not easy to shop for a water heating system if you’re on a tight budget. In fact, most homeowners are concerned about the water heater price among many other things. But then even if a water heater is costly, you should not forget that it’s also a worthwhile investment. So if you still do not have a heater at home, let us help you find and purchase the best unit that will suit your needs as well as your budget. First of all, remember that the cost isn’t the only factor that should influence your choice. You should also take note of your needs and expectations. Would you go for a cheap unit even if it has a high energy consumption rate? Would you choose a small tank over a big one? How would you power up your heater? And we want to quote this line from an online resource we found:

“When selecting a new water heater for your home, choose a water heating system that will not only provide enough hot water but also that will do so energy efficiently, saving you money. This includes considering the different types of water heaters available and determining the right size and fuel source for your home. Check out the Energy Saver 101: Water Heating infographic to learn more about the different types of water heaters and how to select the right model for your home.” (See full article here.)

The US Department of Energy shared the selection criteria that you should use when choosing a water heater for your home. They pointed out that your preference should depend on several factors which are the energy source you’ll use for water heating, energy efficiency, the size and of course the cost of the water heater. There are different ways to power up a water heating system which include electricity, fuel oil, geothermal, natural gas, propane and solar energy. Once you’ve decided the type that you like, you would then have to consider the cost of installation.

How Much Should Water Heater Installation Cost?

“So how much should it cost? According to the pros, the actual costs to install a new hot water heater, whether it’s a conventional unit or a more energy-efficient tankless water heater, are highly variable. “It can cost anywhere from $700 to $2,000 to install a water heater,” says Jason Hanleybrown, CEO of Fast Water Heater Co. a highly rated water heater installation company with headquarters in Kirkland, Wash., and six locations throughout California and the Pacific Northwest.”
