Hot water is essential for daily comfort – from showers and laundry to washing dishes. When it’s time for a new water heater, Branded Tomorrow Plumbing provides expert water heater installation and replacement services to ensure you have reliable hot water with maximum efficiency and safety. Whether your old water heater has failed, is inefficient, or you’re upgrading to a larger or tankless system, our plumbers can guide you in selecting the right unit for your needs and install it flawlessly. We handle both standard tank water heaters and tankless (on-demand) models, as well as both gas and electric units, for residential and light commercial applications.
Is it Time to Replace Your Water Heater? Most traditional tank water heaters last about 8–12 years on average. If your unit is within or past this age range, it may be prone to leaks or a drop in performance. Common signs it’s time for a new water heater include: the tank is leaking from the bottom, you’re running out of hot water faster than before, the hot water is discolored/rusty, you hear rumbling or banging (sediment buildup), or repairs are becoming frequent. Rather than face a sudden hot water outage or a flooded basement from a tank failure, it’s wise to plan a proactive replacement. Additionally, new water heater models are far more energy-efficient – and since water heating accounts for about 18% of a typical home’s energy use (the second-largest energy expense in most households), upgrading can save you money on utility bills.
Our Water Heater Installation Service includes:
Expert Guidance: We’ll help you choose the right capacity and type of water heater. For example, a household of four might need a 50-gallon tank, or consider a tankless unit for endless hot water. We factor in your usage patterns, fuel source availability (gas or electric), and budget. We can also discuss high-efficiency models and any rebates – energy-efficient water heaters can cut your water heating costs significantly.
Safe, Professional Installation: Our plumbers will safely remove your old unit and install the new one according to all safety codes. This includes proper connections of water lines, secure venting of gas exhaust (for gas heaters), and installing a temperature & pressure (T&P) relief valve correctly. (The T&P valve is a critical safety device – it prevents dangerous pressure buildup by releasing water if the tank overheats. A malfunctioning or improperly installed T&P valve can lead to serious hazards, so we never cut corners here.)
Expansion Tank and Code Compliance: In many areas, including Kentucky, an expansion tank is required when installing a new water heater (to absorb thermal expansion of water). We will add one if needed and ensure everything meets local plumbing code. We also handle permit and inspection as required for water heater replacements – so you don’t have to worry about paperwork.
Testing and Cleanup: After installation, we fill and fully heat the new water heater, test all functions (making sure the burner or heating elements fire correctly, the thermostat is accurate, and all connections are leak-free). We’ll haul away and recycle your old unit, and leave the area neat and clean. Before leaving, we make sure you have hot water and understand the new unit’s maintenance needs (like periodic tank flushing to extend its life).
If you’re considering switching to a tankless water heater, we can also advise on that. Tankless units provide on-demand hot water and can last 15–20 years, but they require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity – we’ll evaluate your home’s setup for compatibility.
