Electric and Gas Water Heater Repair & Installation in TX
What Is A Water Heater?
A water heater is a household appliance that provides hot water for various purposes, such as bathing, cooking & washing dishes. They come in two main types: storage tank water heaters & tankless water heaters.
Storage tank heaters are the most common type & they heat water in a holding tank & then supply it to your home. On the other hand, tankless heaters heat water on demand & do not require a holding tank.
Water heater systems should be installed by a professional. Water heater installation is not a DIY project & choosing a reputable & experienced company to install your system is essential.
Lone Star Water Services is a leading water heater installation company & we’re passionate about providing the best possible service to our customers.

Our basic Installation is defined as installing a new water heater in the place of an old one. The unit must be accessible for the plumber to uninstall and reinstall a new one.

Water Heater Replacement
When selecting the capacity of a replacement water heater for your home, it should be based on the number of people living in your home and the peak demand that would be placed on the unit based on everyday routines.
The water heater would need to supply adequate hot water at those peak times of the day. Also, keep in mind the number of plumbing fixtures that require hot water in your home.
Oversized bathtubs and hot tubs will require additional hot water, which should always be factored in when making your selection.
Hot water heaters have a “first-hour rating.” The FHR will indicate the water heaters’ ability to heat the water back up as it is being used. This helps determine the size needed for your peak demand usage.
NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS-RECOMMENDED SIZE OF TANK
1 to 3 People 40 Gallon
4 – 6 People 50 Gallon

How Much Does A Water Heater Cost?
The cost of a water heater varies depending on the type, size, & efficiency. Storage tank water heaters typically cost between $300 & $700, while tankless water heaters usually cost between $500 & $1,500. Water heater installation costs will also vary depending on the type of water heater you choose & the complexity of the installation.
Water Heater Warranty
Common storage tank-style water heater manufacturer warranties cover the tanks for 3, 6, 9, or 12 years. The labor portion of the contract covers the first year only. When considering your options regarding the tank warranty, the more extended the tank warranty, the better.
If you know you will reside in your current home for many years, it would be money well spent on going with the more extended warranty. Warranties are also transferable if you plan on selling the house shortly.
In some cases, the water heater with the more extended warranty is simply not possible due to the increased size of the unit, and your option would be limited to a lesser contract. This can all be determined in advance with some simple measurements of the existing unit you have in place.
Expansion Tanks & Pressure Reducing Valves
When installing your new water heater, our plumber will check your current water pressure going into the home. Water pressure should not exceed 80 psi (pounds per square inch), according to the 2009 Universal Plumbing Code.
If the pressure exceeds 80 psi, it can cause premature wear and tear on all plumbing fixtures throughout your home and, in many cases, void the manufacturer’s warranty on appliances. Pressure-reducing valves and expansion tanks play an essential role in regulating water pressure.
In addition to checking water pressure, our plumber will determine if a thermal expansion tank is required. When water is heated, it expands. Water is not compressible, and the added volume created by this expansion must go somewhere.
When water is not flowing in the system, pressure-reducing valves, backflow preventers, and other one-way valves create a closed system. This secure system eliminates a path for the expanded water to flow back into. This, in turn, creates pressure on the system.
Thermal expansion of water in a closed plumbing system can create several unnecessary and potentially dangerous problems. These include the build-up of unusually high pressure in a system, pressure surges, and the continuous dripping of a temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve. Dripping faucets and leaking toilet tank ball cock fill valves can also indicate thermal expansion.
Thermal expansion can also create more serious problems if not addressed. When extreme pressures are built up in a water heater, internal parts may fail, such as the internal flues, fittings, or possibly water connections. If a flue collapses, it can release carbon monoxide into the home. Thermal expansion can also lead to a ruptured or distorted hot water heating tank, and this may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
There are plenty of repairs that are a waste of money if done right before a sale. On the other hand, some repairs have a high ROI (return on investment) because they can increase the desirability of your home and are often inexpensive.
The following things should be repaired before you sell your house:
- Minor kitchen repairs, such as painting new countertops and installing new fixtures
- Minor bathroom repairs, including replacing missing tiles, cleaning up or replacing grout, and adding a new coat of paint, might be necessary.
- Cleaning up the exterior & adding accents, like basic landscaping, increase curb appeal.
- Improved lighting to make the home a more inviting and spacious feeling.
- Painting the rooms that need it.
- Refinishing hardwood floors.
- Make sure everything works, like doorknobs and locks.
- Pre-sale inspections—to give you time to fix what the inspector finds.
