    What's included

    Everything in every water heater replacement call

    Right-size recommendation

    We assess your household's hot water demand and recommend the right size and type - so you're not overpaying for capacity you don't need or undersizing for a busy family.

    Full installation

    We handle all connections - water lines, gas or electrical, pressure relief valve, expansion tank if needed and code-required permits where applicable.

    Old unit hauled away

    We remove and dispose of your old water heater. You don't have to figure out how to get rid of a 150-pound tank.

    Water Heater Replacement

    Our water heater went out with a house full of kids and no hot water. Water Heater Rescue answered right away, came out the same day, explained everything clearly, and gave a flat price upfront. No hidden fees, no runaround. We had hot water again that afternoon.

    FAQ

    Common questions about water heater replacement

    How long does a water heater replacement take?
    Most replacements take 2–3 hours from arrival to hot water running. This includes draining and removing the old unit, installing the new one, connecting all lines and testing. We aim to be in and out the same day you call.
    Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Georgia?
    In most local municipalities, yes - a permit is required for water heater replacement. We handle the permit process for you where required.
    What size water heater do I need?
    For most 1–2 person households, a 40-gallon unit is sufficient. Families of 3–4 typically need 50 gallons. Larger households may need a 75-gallon unit or a tankless system. We'll assess your usage and recommend the right fit.
    Should I upgrade to tankless when I replace?
    Tankless systems cost more upfront but deliver unlimited hot water and last 20+ years vs 10–12 for a tank. If you plan to stay in your home long-term and your household runs out of hot water regularly, tankless is worth serious consideration. We'll walk you through both options with honest numbers.
    Do you haul away my old water heater?
    Yes, always. Removal and disposal of your old unit is included in every replacement job.
