The installation time for a water heater can vary depending on the type and complexity of the unit. A traditional tank water heater installation typically takes about 3-4 hours. In contrast, tankless water heaters, which require more complex plumbing and venting, might take approximately 6-10 hours to install. Our team at Hometown Plumbing ensures that all installations comply with California's strict codes and standards, prioritizing safety and efficiency. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring the highest quality of installation.
