Sizing to your household
We size the new tank to how many people live there and how you use hot water, not just to the label on the old one.
Water Heater Replacement · Ashburn, VA
Quick answer
LeMaster Plumber replaces water heaters in Ashburn, including homes in Brambleton, Ashburn Farm, and Broadlands. Many Ashburn houses and townhomes keep the heater in a lower-level utility room next to finished space, so we plan the path in and out and protect floors and walls along the way. Replacement is permitted work, and we pull the permit with the local building office. Give us a call at (703) 832-9090 to talk it over.
Much of Ashburn was built in the last few decades, so homes on the same street often have water heaters of about the same age, reaching the 8–12 year range around the same time. The heater is usually in an unfinished corner of the basement or a utility room in a townhome. If yours is a power-vent gas model that exits through a side wall, we match the new unit to that vent or explain what has to change. We add or replace the thermal expansion tank as needed, set a drain pan where finished rooms are close by, and take the old unit away.
We size the new tank to how many people live there and how you use hot water, not just to the label on the old one.
Gas and electric tank water heaters installed with new connections, shutoffs and a fresh temperature-and-pressure relief valve.
On gas units we check the flue and draft so exhaust leaves the house. We fit expansion tanks and drain pans where the system or location calls for them.
Water heater replacement is permitted work. We pull the permit and handle the inspection so you do not have to.
We drain and remove the old tank and take it with us. You are left with a working heater and a clean space.
If you keep running out of hot water or need the floor space, we will walk through whether a tankless unit fits your home.
We check its age, the leak or failure, the fuel type, the venting and the space, and confirm replacement is the right call.
You get the unit, the scope and the price before anything starts. You approve it first.
We shut off and drain the old tank, remove it, and install the new one with new connections, valves and venting to code.
We fill and fire the new heater, check for leaks, set the temperature, and haul the old unit away.
Every water heater replacement is quoted upfront once we have seen the old unit and the space. The price covers the unit, the install, the permit and haul-away. You approve it before any work starts.

Why LeMaster Plumber
You approve the price before we start — no surprises and no pressure. You’ll always know the cost before any work begins.
Every job is backed by proper training, the right permits, and a workmanship guarantee.
We show up on time, protect your space, and leave the job cleaner than we found it.
Yes. Water heater replacement is permitted work in Ashburn. We pull the permit with the local building office and set up the inspection as part of the job.
It depends on your bathrooms, household size, and things like a large soaking tub. If you run short of hot water today, we may suggest a bigger tank or a tankless unit instead of a like-for-like swap.
Usually only if something changes outside. A like-for-like tank inside the house rarely involves the HOA, but a new wall vent for a tankless or power-vent unit may. We’ll tell you what will show outside so you can check with your HOA first.
