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 · Vienna, VA
Quick answer
LeMaster Plumber replaces water heaters in Vienna, including established homes in Vienna Woods and Wolftrap and the custom rebuilds across town. When an older house gets a new, bigger heater, the gas line, venting, and expansion tank all have to keep up with it, and we check each one. Fairfax County requires a permit for this work, and we pull it. Call (703) 832-9090 to schedule.
In Vienna’s established homes, the heater usually sits in the basement near the furnace. Many of these houses have been renovated with added bathrooms, so a replacement is a good time to ask whether the old tank size still fits how you live. Going up in size or switching to tankless can mean a larger gas line or new venting, which we check before quoting. Newer custom homes may have two heaters, a tankless unit, or a recirculation pump in a mechanical room. We replace like-for-like or rework the setup, and we keep the recirculation loop working afterward.
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.
