Frequently Asked Questions

You should consider replacing your water heater if it’s over 8–12 years old, leaking from the tank, producing rust-colored water, or no longer keeping up with hot water demand. Frequent repairs and rising energy bills are also red flags. Done! offers honest assessments to help you decide whether repair or hot water tank replacement is the best move for your home.

Technically, it’s possible to replace the heating element in an electric water heater—but it’s not always safe or cost-effective to DIY. If the unit is older or has additional issues, it might be smarter to consider a full hot water heater replacement. Done!’s plumbers can inspect your system, advise on repairs vs. replacement, and complete any necessary work with safety and speed.

Replacing a hot water heater involves turning off utilities, safely draining the old unit, disconnecting plumbing and electrical or gas lines, and installing the new system according to local code. It’s a detailed process that should only be done by a licensed professional. At Done!, our experts handle everything—from safe removal to full water heater installation—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

The cost of a new water heater depends on the type, size, and energy efficiency of the model you choose. In the Aurora area, most installations range from basic tank-style units to advanced tankless systems, with pricing that includes labor, removal, and any code upgrades. At Done!, we provide transparent, upfront pricing so there are no surprises—and we’ll help you choose the right system for your budget and needs.

In most states, including Colorado, no matter where you reside, the answer is yes. The law requires a building permit when installing a water heater. At Done, we always secure the necessary permits and follow-up inspections required. This helps ensure the safety of you, your family, or your employees (as well as your home or business). It also means you are up to current building codes.

Upgrading to a tankless water heater offers several advantages, including continuous hot water supply, reduced energy consumption, longer lifespan compared to traditional water heaters, and space savings due to their compact size. Tankless models only heat water on demand, which can significantly lower utility bills. Done can assess your current hot water needs and recommend the best tankless water heater model, ensuring you benefit from its efficiency and convenience.

Absolutely, Done specializes in the professional replacing water heaters, including upgrades to tankless water heaters, in homes across Denver. Our installation of new water heaters ensures they are correctly sized and installed according to local codes and manufacturer specifications. Our team will handle the entire installation process, from removing your old unit to setting up the new one, including any necessary adjustments to plumbing and ventilation to accommodate the new system.

Water Heater Replacement Near Me

Need a New Water Heater? We’ve Got You Covered.

No one wants to wake up to a cold shower—or worse, a leaking water heater tank. When your unit can’t keep up anymore, Done! Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric is here with expert water heater replacement and installation services across Aurora and the Greater Denver Metro. Whether you’re dealing with rust-colored water, rising energy bills, or a complete breakdown, our licensed plumbers make it simple to upgrade to a reliable new system.

When Should You Replace a Water Heater?

Most hot water heaters last 8 to 12 years. But age isn’t the only reason to consider replacement. Here are signs it may be time:

  • Inconsistent or inadequate hot water
  • Water pooling at the base of the tank
  • Popping or banging noises during heating
  • Rusty or cloudy water from your taps
  • Frequent repairs or high energy bills

If your unit checks any of these boxes, a hot water heater replacement may be more cost-effective than another repair. We’ll help you evaluate your options with honest, no-pressure advice.

The Installation Process—Handled Start to Finish

Water heater installation isn’t just about swapping tanks. Local codes, safety requirements, and energy efficiency standards all play a role. At Done!, we take care of every step—from disconnecting and hauling away the old unit to installing and testing your new one.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Inspection of your current system and plumbing
  • Guidance on sizing and model selection
  • Transparent discussion of installation costs
  • Same-day removal and expert installation
  • Full system testing and clean-up before we go

Whether it’s a standard tank model or an upgraded tankless system, we make sure your new water heater is installed correctly, safely, and efficiently—so you can get back to life as usual.

What Does a Water Heater Replacement Cost?

The cost of a new water heater varies depending on several factors:

  • Tank vs. tankless system
  • Gas or electric model
  • Size of the unit (gallons per household need)
  • Upgrades to meet code (venting, expansion tanks, etc.)

We know budgeting matters. That’s why Done! provides upfront pricing—with no hidden fees—before we begin. You’ll understand the full water heater installation cost and have all the information needed to make the right decision for your home.

Considering a Tankless Water Heater?

If your old tank is ready to go, it might be the perfect time to upgrade. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, giving you unlimited hot water while saving space and energy. They’re ideal for larger families, homes with multiple bathrooms, or anyone tired of running out of hot water halfway through a shower.

We offer complete tankless water heater installation, including unit selection, system upgrades, and annual maintenance support. Need help deciding? We’ll compare the pros, cons, and long-term savings so you can make an informed choice.
