Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get a tank or tankless water heater?

Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient and provide endless hot water, but have higher upfront costs. Tank units are less expensive to install. We'll help you evaluate both options for your specific situation.

How long does water heater installation take?

Most standard tank replacements take 2 to 4 hours. Tankless installations may take a bit longer depending on the specific setup.

What brands do you install?

We install all major brands including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, and others. We can also source specific brands upon request.

Do you offer emergency water heater replacement?

Yes. We offer after-hours emergency water heater replacement throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Call 941-894-1127 any time.

Will you haul away my old water heater?

Yes, we can haul away and properly dispose of your old unit as part of the installation service.

What size water heater do I need?

For tank water heaters, a 40-gallon unit is typically sufficient for 1 to 3 people, while a 50-gallon unit is recommended for 3 to 5 people. Larger households may need a 75-gallon unit or a tankless system. We'll assess your household's hot water usage and recommend the right size.

Does a new water heater installation require a permit in Florida?

Yes. Florida building code requires a permit for water heater installation. Pro-Plumbing Works pulls all required permits and ensures the installation is inspected and approved.

How long does a new water heater last in Florida?

Tank water heaters in Florida typically last 8 to 12 years, somewhat shorter than the national average due to hard water and, in coastal areas, salt-air corrosion. Tankless water heaters generally last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.
