Water Heater Installation in Maryland

They typically recommend replacement when the unit is more than about six years old and needs costly repairs, or after roughly 12 years when efficiency drops and issues like low hot water volume, odd noises, or discolored water appear.

Traditional vs. Tankless Water Heater Installation

There are pros and cons to both traditional tank water heaters and newer on-demand systems. Most homes already have everything needed for a tank water heater, and we can complete most installations in several hours.

A tankless water heater install in Maryland will generally cost more upfront. That’s due to the higher equipment costs and more complex installation. Still, a tankless water heater can save you money over the life of the equipment. Consider that the average lifespan of a standard water heater is about 12 years. Tankless systems usually last at least 15 years and can last as long as 25.

A tankless water heater can lower the average household’s water-heating-related energy use by as much as 34%. Those savings tend to go down if your water usage is above average. That’s why we’ll often recommend tank water heaters to homeowners with big families. In addition, large houses add complications that can drive up the costs and make tankless less worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installation

Here are answers to several of the most common questions about water heater replacement in Montgomery County. For additional information, contact us at your convenience.

How Do I Know If I Need A New Water Heater?

We’ll recommend a new water heater in Maryland if the unit is older than six years and needs significant non-covered repairs. After 12 years, a water heater can become inefficient and a lot more expensive to run. You may experience low hot water volume and slower recovery times. Other warning signs include odd noises, low hot water pressure, and hot water that’s discolored and/or smelly.

How Long Does A Water Heater Installation Take?

Tank water heater installations typically take between two and four hours. Tankless water heater installations, on the other hand, generally take between 4 and 6 hours. Installations that take longer usually include the installation of gas plumbing and/or ventilation. Even in those scenarios, we complete most installations within a single day.

What Types Of Water Heaters Do You Install?

Our team installs all water heater brands and models. We install traditional tank water heaters and tankless water heaters, including handling all aspects of conversion. Our plumbers install both electric and fuel-burning water heaters. Those options include standard and high-efficiency water heaters that burn natural gas and liquid propane.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the fourth time over the years, that I have used Stang Plumbing. One time for a leak in the basement,  once for a new kitchen sink and faucet install, with me supplying the faucet and the sink, another time for repair of a leak under the kitchen sink. And this time for a garbage disposal install, with Stang plumbing supplying the disposal. Each time they were responsive with an upfront price quote. Each time they arrive the next day as promised. All their personnel are polite and professional. Each time the job was done right and the technician left the job site neat and clean when they finished. I think their prices are resonable and competitive, and I do like that they have senior citizen's discount. Stang Plumbing will always be my first choice, when it comes to my needs for any plumbing work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an intermittent, but very bad, smell that seemed to be coming from our air vents on hot humid days.  Countless plumbers and other contractors could not find the source ...for over 15 years! Stang was able to find the problem (a broken vent pipe within a wall) and make the quick fix. The job was done in the Fall and although the problem appeared to be resolved, I decided to wait until it was summer-hot again to be sure. This week has been in the upper 90s with heavy humidity and yet...no bad smells.  We are eternally grateful and would recommend Stang to everyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a leak in my boiler return pipe that was located under my basement floor.  Stang was very responsive and came out immediately to give me an estimate.  Jon was very knowledgeable and was able to fix the leak without tearing up my entire basement.  Jon and mark were great to work with and they both did a great job with the repair, leaving as little mess as possible.  I could not be happier with their work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Louis from Stang is a lifesaver. Our basement was flooding on Sunday night. We called an emergency plumber. He told us to unplug our full basement freezer and get some sandbags (are there 24 hour Home Depots I don’t know about?). He said he would come back at 10am the next morning to try to figure out the source of the problem. I got back online, called Stang, and at 9-10pm on a Sunday night, Louis showed up at our house. Within 15 minutes he had figured out that one of our sump pumps was out and the other was on its last legs. He got one running and solved the immediate source of the flooding. We had him come back a week later and replace both sump pumps. This is the guy to call in an emergency!
