Signs your water heater is on its way out

No hot water, or it runs out fast
Rumbling or popping sounds (sediment buildup)
Rusty or metallic-tasting hot water
Water pooling around the tank base
Pilot light won't stay lit / breaker keeps tripping
Tank is 10+ years old — the average lifespan

Repair or Replace? We'll Tell You Straight

If your water heater is under 8 years old and the problem is a thermocouple, element, or gas valve, repair usually makes sense. If the tank itself is leaking, no repair fixes that — it's replacement time. We give you the honest math on both, including the operating-cost difference if you're considering going tankless.

Tank water heater replacement

  • 40 and 50-gallon gas and electric units, standard and high-recovery
  • New pan, supply lines, gas flex, and expansion tank where required by code
  • T&P discharge piped correctly — the item most often failed on inspection
  • Old unit hauled off, permit and inspection included

Tankless water heaters

Endless hot water, a closet's worth of reclaimed space, and 20-year lifespans — tankless is a great fit for many Houston homes, but only when the gas line and venting are sized right. Undersized gas supply is the #1 cause of tankless problems, and as a Master Plumber shop we size and run the gas line ourselves rather than working around it. We install Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem systems and service what we sell.

The two-trade advantage

Electric and hybrid heat-pump water heaters often need circuit upgrades. Because TexPro is licensed for electrical work too (TECL #41661), we run the new circuit ourselves — no second contractor, no scheduling gymnastics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a water heater cost installed in Houston?

Standard 40–50 gallon tank replacements typically run $1,500–$2,800 installed depending on gas vs. electric, location, and code updates needed. Tankless installations generally run $3,500–$6,500 including gas line and venting work. Exact written price before we start.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Houston?

Yes — water heater replacement requires a plumbing permit and inspection in Houston and most surrounding jurisdictions. We pull it as part of the job; unpermitted swaps become a problem at home sale time.

Should I switch to tankless?

If your household runs out of hot water, plans to stay 7+ years, or wants the space back — often yes. If it's a rental or you're moving soon, a quality tank is the better money. We'll give you both prices and our honest take.

How fast can you replace a water heater?

When schedule allows, same-day or next-day for standard tank replacements. Call in the morning and there's a good chance you have hot water tonight.
