From traditional tank systems to modern tankless water heaters, we tailor every replacement and installation to your household’s needs. With over 40 years of trusted service and licensed, insured technicians, we make it easy to upgrade your hot water without the hassle.
Know the Signs Before You’re Left in the Cold
Water heaters don’t last forever — and the older they get, the more likely they are to break down or run inefficiently. Not sure if it’s time to replace your system? Here are the most common signs:
Your water heater is more than 10–12 years old
Rust-colored water or strange metallic smells
Inconsistent or insufficient hot water supply
Leaks around the base of the tank
Rising energy bills or frequent repair calls
Even if your water heater still works, it might be costing you more than it should. Newer models — especially ENERGY STAR® rated systems — offer significant savings over time.
We’ll Help You Choose What’s Best for Your Home
Ace Plumbing offers both traditional tank-style and tankless (on-demand) water heaters to suit different home layouts, family sizes, and usage patterns.
Tank water heaters are great for households with consistent demand, providing a steady reservoir of hot water. These systems typically range from 30 to 80 gallons and are cost-effective to install.
Tankless water heaters heat water as you use it, eliminating standby energy loss. They’re compact, energy-efficient, and ideal for smaller homes or families that want to lower utility costs and extend system lifespan.
Not sure which is right for your home? Our team will assess your current setup, available space, and budget to recommend the right solution — not just the most expensive one.

Safe, Code-Compliant, and Done Right the First Time

Removal and disposal of your old unit
Safe handling of gas, electric, or hybrid connections
Expansion tank installation if needed
Insulation and system testing
