Installing a new water heater is a significant investment that ensures comfort and convenience in your home. In Rancho Palos Verdes, the cost of water heater installation varies based on several factors. This guide will help you understand the elements influencing the price and how ABT Plumbing & Rooter can assist you.


One major factor that affects installation costs is the type of water heater you choose. Traditional tank water heaters are generally less expensive upfront but may have higher energy costs over time. On the other hand, tankless water heaters have a higher initial cost but offer energy savings and a longer lifespan.


Capacity and size also play a role. Larger households typically require water heaters with greater capacity, which can increase the cost.


Installation complexity is another consideration. Elements such as accessibility, the need for additional plumbing or electrical work, and permit requirements can all impact the final price.


In Rancho Palos Verdes, the average cost for a traditional tank water heater installation ranges from approximately $1,200 to $2,000. For tankless water heaters, the installation cost is typically between $2,500 and $4,500. Please note that these are general estimates.
