A tankless unit can reduce water heating costs by 30 to 50 percent because it only heats water on demand.

Bay-air salt exposure accelerates cabinet corrosion on standard water heaters, and we routinely see 2000s-era replacements with cabinet rust-through at 8 to 10 years instead of the typical 12 to 14.

This adds about $150 to $250 to the install but extends cabinet service life by 2 to 3 years.

A: Depends on the tank age and condition. If your water heater is over 10 years old and you have time before listing, replacing it now (vs negotiating with a buyer post-inspection) typically nets you better economics: you avoid last-minute price concessions, you control the install schedule, and a new tank shows on the disclosure as a positive. If the tank is under 8 years and in good shape, a pre-listing inspection certificate from us is often the better play. We can run that inspection for FREE and provide the documentation to share with prospective buyers.
