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 · Huntington, VA
Quick answer
LeMaster Plumber replaces water heaters in Huntington, including Huntington Station, Arlington Terrace and the mid-century homes near Cameron Run. In basements that have seen water before, we set the new heater up to last, on a raised base where it fits and with a drain pan. Call (703) 832-9090, and we can often finish the swap the same day.
Most Huntington houses keep the water heater in the basement, and in low-lying spots near Cameron Run those basements have a history of taking on water. When we replace the heater there, we look at raising it on a stand where space allows, adding a drain pan and making sure the controls sit clear of the floor. A gas unit also gets a careful venting check in these older homes. The low-rise condos near the Metro are different: the heater is usually in an in-unit closet, and building rules may control when water can be shut off. If space is tight, tankless is an option worth weighing.

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.
