The Right Water Heater for How Your Household Actually Uses Hot Water
Replacing a water heater is a chance to fix the problems you have lived with: running out mid-shower, slow recovery or a unit that takes up half the closet. Aerex Mechanical sizes the new unit to your household, explains tank versus tankless honestly and installs it to current code with permits and inspection included.
We install gas and electric tank water heaters and gas and electric tankless systems. The proposal shows the installed price for each option you are considering, including any venting, gas line or electrical work the new unit requires, so the number does not change on install day.

Water Heater Installation FAQs
What Arlington homeowners ask before replacing a water heater.
A tank unit costs less to install and is simple to maintain. A tankless unit provides unlimited hot water, uses less energy and lasts longer, but costs more up front and may need gas line or venting upgrades. For many DFW homes either works; we price both so you can compare.
A like-for-like tank replacement usually takes two to four hours. Tankless installations and conversions take longer because of venting, gas and electrical work.
It depends on the number of people, bathrooms and how hot water is used at peak times. A 40 or 50 gallon tank suits most households of three to five; larger families or soaking tubs may need more capacity or a tankless unit.
Yes. Water heater replacements require a permit in Arlington and most DFW cities, and we handle the permit and inspection as part of the job.
