Expert Water Heater Replacement

When repair isn’t enough, Badger Plumbing Company installs a properly sized unit to restore comfort fast. We remove and haul away the old heater, set the new one to code, and test for safe, efficient operation.

Is It Time for a New Water Heater?

Consider replacement if your tank is 10+ years old, producing rust-colored hot water, leaking, or failing repeatedly. Families from Uptown Shelby to Polkville choose new, efficient models to keep up with busy mornings.

Our Installation Process

We help you choose the right size (40–50 gallon tanks or tankless), obtain any permits, safely disconnect utilities, install new water and gas/electrical connections, verify venting, and calibrate temperature and safety devices. Then we clean up and review operation with you.

Tankless Water Heater Options

Looking for endless hot water and space savings? We assess gas line capacity, venting, or electrical requirements and handle the conversion to a modern tankless system.

Upfront Quotes & Flexible Scheduling

You’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate covering equipment and labor before work begins. We coordinate convenient scheduling—often next-day installation in Fallston, Lawndale, and Belwood.
