Water heater installation and replacement in Pickerington, OH
Reliable Hot Water Starts with T&H Plumbing
When an old unit finally gives out, the right replacement is the one sized and matched to your home, not just the closest box on the shelf. We install tank and tankless water heaters across Pickerington and Central Ohio, with upfront pricing and financing on larger systems.
Direct answer and who this service is for
Water heater installation is the removal of an old or failed unit and the proper setup of a new one, sized to your household’s hot water demand and connected to code. It is the right move when a unit is leaking from the tank, is past its service life, or can no longer keep up with your home. At T&H Plumbing Services Inc., we help you choose the right type and size first, then handle the install and haul away the old unit.
- Your current unit is leaking from the tank body, not just a fitting.
- The water heater is past about ten to twelve years of service.
- You run out of hot water faster than the household needs.
- Repairs are stacking up on an aging unit.
- You want to upgrade to a tankless system for endless hot water and a smaller footprint.
Our water heater installation options
- Tank water heaters A traditional tank is the proven, budget-friendly choice for many homes. We size the tank to your household so you have enough hot water without paying to heat more than you need.
- Tankless water heaters Tankless units heat water on demand, deliver a continuous supply, and take up far less space. They cost more upfront but last longer and can lower standby energy loss, which makes them a strong long-term option.
- Gas and electric units We install both gas and electric water heaters and help you match the fuel type to your existing connections and your goals for efficiency and operating cost.
- Right-sizing and fuel conversions The wrong size is the most common reason a new unit disappoints. We calculate the demand for your home and recommend the capacity that fits, including guidance if you are weighing a switch between fuel types.
The best system depends on your home’s size, fuel type, and how much hot water you use. We walk you through the choices.
Our water heater installation process
- In-home assessment. We look at your space, connections, and hot water needs, then recommend the right type and size.
- Clear options and pricing. We lay out tank and tankless choices with upfront, flat-rate pricing before anything is ordered.
- Removal and disposal. We disconnect and haul away the old unit so you are not left dealing with it.
- Code-compliant installation. We set the new unit, connect water, gas or electric, and venting to code, and handle the permit where required.
- Startup and walkthrough. We bring the system up, confirm it heats and holds pressure, and show you how to operate it.
If you are unsure whether replacement is the right step, our team will walk you through the pros and cons during your service visit.
Honest pricing and financing
T&H Plumbing installs water heaters at a flat rate you approve before any work begins, with no trip fee and no service call fee. You only pay once you decide to move forward.
Â
Tank water heater installation starts at $1,669 for an electric 40-gallon unit that includes a 6-year manufacturer warranty. Tankless installation starts at $4,085 to $4,271 and includes a 15-year warranty. Final pricing depends on your fuel type, the size you choose, and any updates your connections need, all confirmed during your in-home estimate. Because a new system is a real investment, financing is available so you can choose the right unit rather than the cheapest one.

What our customers say
A water heater is a system you live with for a decade or more, so how it was installed matters long after the truck leaves. Here is what Central Ohio homeowners say about their installations with T&H Plumbing.
Water heater installation questions, answered
A traditional tank typically lasts about ten to twelve years, while a well-maintained tankless unit can last considerably longer. Hard water shortens that life by accelerating sediment and scale, which is why right-sizing and maintenance matter in Central Ohio. We help you plan a replacement before a failure floods your floor.
It depends on your priorities. Tankless costs more upfront but delivers continuous hot water, saves space, lasts longer, and can reduce standby energy loss. A tank costs less to install and is simpler. We walk you through the trade-offs based on your household and budget.
The right size depends on how many people are in the home and your peak hot water demand, such as back-to-back showers or large tubs. Too small and you run out, too large and you pay to heat water you do not use. We calculate the right capacity during the estimate.
Often, yes, especially for like-for-like tank replacements when we have the unit on hand. Tankless conversions or fuel changes can take longer because of venting and connection work. We give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old unit are included in every installation, so you are not left moving a heavy, water-logged tank or arranging disposal yourself.
In most Ohio municipalities, yes, and we handle the permit and code-compliant installation as part of the job. Proper permitting protects you at resale and ensures the unit is installed safely.
It can. Newer units are more efficient than older ones, and tankless systems avoid heating a full tank around the clock. Right-sizing also prevents wasted energy. We help you weigh efficiency against upfront cost.
In many homes, yes, though it depends on your existing connections and venting. We assess what your home can support and explain any additional work a conversion would involve before you commit.
