What does a water heater cost?
That depends on the size water heater you need and if you are in need of an electric, power vent natural gas or standard vent natural gas water heater. On average you can expect between $1,600 – $4,000 for sizes ranging from 40 gallon all the way up to 80 gallon for installations that include the water heater.
Factors that affect your cost include:
- Tank size (40, 50, or 80 gallon systems)
- Gas vs. electric units
- Venting requirements (standard vs. power vent)
- Code upgrades or electrical work
- Converting fuel sources (gas ↔ electric)
- Tank vs. tankless options
Our water heater installation prices include removal of your existing water heater. If you are getting quotes always ensure this is included as part of the job.
We provide free, no-obligation estimates, so you’ll know your exact cost upfront before any work begins.
Water Heater Sizes
With 40 gallon, 50 gallon and even 80 gallon water heater options available – Quality Comfort in Cincinnati has the water heater perfectly sized to fit your home’s needs.
30 Gallon Water Heaters
For many years, 30-gallon water heaters were a common option for smaller households or spaces with limited hot water needs. However, due to updated federal energy efficiency standards, manufacturers no longer produce 30-gallon water heaters. Today, most homeowners will choose between a 40-gallon tank, which is the smallest standard size now available, or consider a compact tankless water heater. Our team can help you decide which option best fits your space, usage, and budget while ensuring your home stays up to code.
