When You Need a New Water Heater Installed

This page covers new installs, not like-for-like swaps of a worn-out tank. For those, see Water Heater Replacement. Common reasons for a new installation:

  • Home additions and remodels: a new bathroom or a larger kitchen can outgrow your current unit
  • Moving the water heater: out of an attic or closet and into the garage, or closer to the bathrooms
  • Upgrading capacity: going from a 40 to a 50 gallon tank or larger
  • Switching fuel type: gas to electric, or electric to gas
  • Adding a second water heater: for larger homes, in-law suites or detached spaces
  • Going tankless: see tankless options

What Goes Into Planning an Installation

  • Location: clearance, drainage, venting (gas) and access for future service
  • Sizing: how many people live there and how much hot water you use at once
  • Utilities: gas line size and venting for gas units, and a dedicated circuit for electric and heat pump units
  • Code requirements: expansion tank, drain pan, temperature and pressure relief line, earthquake straps where required, and permits
  • Efficiency: standard, high-efficiency, heat pump or tankless

Water Heater Installation FAQs

Can a water heater be moved to a different spot?

Usually, yes. It means running new water lines and new gas or electrical, so it costs more than a same-spot swap.

Do I need a permit to install a water heater?

Most new installations need one. Your installer should handle it.

Is a heat pump water heater a good option?

It can lower energy costs, but it needs space and airflow around it. Garages often work well.

Can you install a water heater for a new addition?

Yes. Call to talk through the layout and how much hot water it needs.
