Water Heater Installation & Replacement in Albany, NY

Types of Water Heaters We Install

Conventional Storage Water Heaters

Conventional storage water heaters remain a popular choice for homeowners. They store heated water in an insulated tank and are available in different sizes, including common 40- and 50-gallon models. Available space can also determine whether a tall or short model fits your home better.

If your existing water heater is aging, leaking, or no longer providing enough hot water, replacement may be a better option than continuing with repairs. Our plumbers can help determine the appropriate system for your home.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of storing it in a tank. They can save space and may improve energy efficiency while providing a continuous supply of hot water.

Tankless systems require regular maintenance, including descaling, to help maintain performance. If you’re considering a tankless system, our plumbers can help you determine if it is a suitable option for your home. 

Trusted Water Heater Brands

E.W. Tompkins installs water heating systems from trusted manufacturers, including A.O. Smith and Navien. We can help you select an option that fits your household’s hot water needs, available space, and existing setup.

Questions We Ask Before Installation

Before scheduling your water heater installation, we may ask:

• How many gallons is your current water heater?
• Is your existing unit electric, natural gas, or propane?
• Can you text us a photo of your current water heater and installation area?
• Is the installation space tight or difficult to access?
• What type of venting does the current unit use?

These details help our plumbers prepare for the installation and bring the appropriate equipment for the job.
