“Alex’s team did an excellent job replacing my water heater! They responded to my call quickly and made it possible to come earlier than I expected. The crew were very pleasant to interact with and were willing to explain what they were doing, so no surprised charges at the end. Alex is reliable and often think outside the box when proposing solutions. I highly recommend Alex and his team!!”

“Competitive pricing, showed up on time, did excellent work at the pre-estimated price. Alex took the time to explain the details to replace our home water heater on our initial phone call, gave a reasonable estimate, showed up on time and explained the work his team was going to do. Elijah & Victor were meticulous in keeping our house clean, explained all the clean looking work they did and were extremely courteous. Will definitely call Alex again for future plumbing needs!”
Theresa H. | 5-Star Google Review
“I called these guys at about 2:00 pm on a Wednesday because my water heater was leaking everywhere in my garage and we needed a new one. We discussed price over the phone and there was zero hassle. They were at my house with a new water heater and beginning installation by 2:45 pm, literally 45 minutes after my call. The job was done by 4:30 pm. Unreal service and timing. They might as well have been sitting outside my neighborhood with a new water heater waiting for my call. Will definitely use them again for future plumbing needs.”

FAQs for Our Water Heater Experts
-
Sediment buildup is the most common water heater issue, especially in areas like North Georgia with mineral-heavy water.
Over time, minerals settle at the bottom of the tank, causing popping or rumbling noises, reducing heating efficiency, and increasing energy costs.
Flushing the tank regularly can help prevent sediment buildup and extend the life of the water heater.
-
The cost to install a standard tank water heater typically ranges from $1,800 to $2,700, including the unit, labor, and required parts.
Tankless water heater installations usually cost more upfront but offer higher energy efficiency and longer lifespan.
Final pricing depends on factors such as:
Type of water heater (tank vs. tankless)
Installation complexity
Required upgrades (gas line, electrical, venting)
-
Common signs of a failing water heater include:
Inconsistent or insufficient hot water
Rust-colored water
Strange noises from the tank
Water pooling or leaking around the unit
If you notice these issues, it may be time for repair or replacement.
-
The main disadvantages of a tankless water heater are the higher upfront cost and potential system upgrades, such as a larger gas line or electrical capacity.
However, tankless systems provide continuous hot water and are often more energy-efficient over time, making them a popular option for many households.
-
No, a properly sized tankless water heater provides continuous hot water and does not run out like a traditional tank system.
However, if multiple fixtures are used at the same time and exceed the system’s capacity, you may notice reduced performance.
-
Most traditional tank water heaters last between 8 and 12 years.
Tankless water heaters typically last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.
Lifespan depends on factors such as water quality, usage, and regular maintenance.
-
Yes. In many cases, Rx Plumbing & Drain can provide same-day water heater replacement.
We keep common units in stock and can quickly install a new system to restore hot water to your home.
-
Replacing a traditional tank typically takes 2–4 hours. Switching from a tank to tankless may take 4–8 hours depending on venting and utility modifications. Most installations are completed in one day.
-
If your water heater is under 8 years old, a repair is often the most cost-effective option.
If it is over 10–12 years old, leaking, or frequently breaking down, replacement is usually the better long-term investment.
A plumber can inspect the unit and recommend the best option based on its condition.
-
Yes. Rx Plumbing & Drain installs and replaces water heaters in Cumming, Sugar Hill, Lawrenceville, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, and surrounding North Atlanta areas.
