What Customers Say

“I can’t stress enough the entire staff of the company.”

Dave

“Joe and Alex are amazing. Alex was polite and professional. Really friendly and knowledgeable. So much so that my wife said, "wow, I really liked him." Thank you for doing an amazing job replacing our water heater. Highly recommend People's Choice Plumbing.”

Renee Leonardi

“They replaced my water heater and I would use again and also recommend this company. Thanks to Alexis I was able to get a quote on what the job would cost, which was a fair and competitive price. Dylan arrived with everything needed to get me up and running again. We take it for granted that you can open a spigot and have hot water, until you don't. Anyway, they were all wonderful, so if you need a plumber call Peoples Choice Plumbing. Also, it supports a local small business, very important. Thanks”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a water heater replacement take?

A standard tank water heater replacement typically takes two to four hours. If modifications to the plumbing or gas lines are needed, it may take longer.

How much does water heater installation cost?

Water heater installation cost depends on the type and size of the unit. A standard tank water heater runs about $700 to $3,100 installed, with most 40- and 50-gallon replacements landing between $800 and $2,500. A tankless unit typically runs $1,200 to $3,800 installed because of the additional gas, electrical, or venting work involved. Permits, code upgrades, and the condition of existing connections affect the final price, and we provide an upfront, written quote before any work begins.
