Replacing and installing a new water heater
There are a number of reasons you may be replacing your home’s current hot water heater. Quite often, homeowners are left to make a quick decision because their water heater breaks or leaks, causing an immediate need. Another reason to replace your hot water is its inefficient heating capabilities. An outgrown water tank capacity is another common reason. Whatever your reason may be, Winter’s Heating & Air Conditioning has the solution and the right product for your home.
A Variety of Options
With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to choose which hot water heater is right for you, your home, and your household needs.
When considering water heater capacity, follow this general guideline:

46 - 56 gallons
60 - 80 gallons
Up to 120 gallons
Once you’ve figured out the general capacity requirements best suited for your household, there are a few more questions you’ll want to consider:
- Might your home require a second tank? (Due to building layout or use requirements)
- What is your budget for your system, and how much will installation cost?
Remember that the typical lifespan of a tanked hot water heater is about 8–10 years, depending on the brand, daily use, and regular maintenance schedule. The average cost of a hot water heater is about $800–$1,200 for a tanked system, excluding labor and installation costs.
Have you considered going tankless?
Tankless hot water heaters are a popular choice and have considerable benefits to consider. Take a look at some of the larger differences when it comes to a tankless hot water system versus a traditional tank system.
Tankless Hot Water System
- On-demand water is consistently delivered to your faucet.
- High-powered burners heat water within minutes and move water quickly, eliminating the need for a tank.
- Much longer lifespan vs. a tank.
- Use less space in your home since there is no tank.
Tanked Hot Water System
- Large water tank in your home that contains water at all times.
- Internal thermostat that monitors temperature and heating components that keep temperature
- Need to refill when hot water is being used, which can be timely.
- Large amounts of water translate to more energy for warm systems.

We Love Our Customers
I love WHS! They saved me $1000 on my new unit in my new home and the customer service was excellent.
I called Melvin because our furnace stopped blowing heat. He showed up about 35 minutes later. In no time he figured out the problem and now the furnace is back to running normal again. Thanks for saving the day once again for me. I will never use another HVAC company in my life.
Melvin is a war veteran and I served 25 years in the military, this young man installed a completely new unit in half the time and it has been working with no problems.
My mother complained of heating issues and the other companies quoted $500 for repairs. Turns out it was a bad switch that cost $90 and Winter Home Services repaired it added a discount because my mother was a veteran
Melvin has many years of experience in this industry. His specialized knowledge of the trade and the actual value of the services puts him in a unique position to save you a lot of money. Consult with Melvin whenever you have a need for home and property services.
4 years ago my parents had an issue with one of their AC units and their contracted HVAC vendor explained the unit was shot and needed to be replaced. Melvin came in replaced a $50 part and the unit is still running great to this day. It's unfortunate to think some companies do this to people but they do! Get a second opinion, call Melvin!!
