Water Heater Installation FAQ
How much does water heater installation cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Water heater installation in Fort Lauderdale typically ranges from $900 to $1,500 for a standard tank water heater and $2,500 to $4,500 for a tankless system, including the unit and labor. The exact cost depends on the type, size, fuel source, and any additional plumbing modifications needed. Anthony Brothers provides free, no-obligation estimates.
How long does a water heater installation take?
A standard tank water heater replacement typically takes 2-4 hours. A tankless water heater installation may take 4-8 hours depending on whether gas line modifications, electrical upgrades, or venting changes are required. Most installations are completed the same day.
What size water heater do I need?
For tank water heaters: 1-2 people need 30-40 gallons, 3-4 people need 40-50 gallons, and 5+ people need 50-80 gallons. Tankless water heaters are sized by flow rate (GPM) rather than gallons. A professional assessment considers your number of bathrooms, fixtures, and peak demand to recommend the right size.
Do you remove and dispose of the old water heater?
Yes. Every water heater installation from Anthony Brothers includes removal of the old unit, proper disposal, and complete cleanup. There are no hidden fees for removal.
