Types of Water Heaters We Install
Not every home has the same hot water needs—which is why we offer flexible installation options. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated system or choosing a more energy-efficient model, we’ll walk you through the best solution for your lifestyle and budget.
Here are the common types we install:
Traditional Tank Water Heaters
These are the most common systems, storing a set amount of hot water (usually 40–80 gallons). They're great for households with consistent usage and are typically more affordable upfront.
Tankless Water Heaters
These on-demand systems heat water as you need it—no storage tank required. They're energy-efficient, compact, and ideal for families that want continuous hot water without taking up floor space.
Gas Water Heaters
If your home is already connected to natural gas, this option offers fast heating and lower long-term energy costs.
Electric Water Heaters
Easy to install and maintain, electric models are popular in homes without gas lines and typically have lower upfront costs. We’ll assess your space, usage, and energy preferences to recommend a system that keeps your showers hot and your bills low.

Colebee from Running Water Plumbing installed a gas line and also fixed a broken exterior faucet at my home. He showed up right on time and worked quickly and efficiently. Without me even asking, he helped remove my old oven and install the new one, which I really appreciated. The quality of work was solid and the whole process was smooth. I highly recommend Running Water for any plumbing needs. Thanks again.

Colebee was on time and very professional. He wasn’t satisfied with the quality of some of the previous parts so he replaced them at a fair price to ensure no further issues with my toilet repair. Highly recommend for any of your plumbing issues.

Colebee and Brody were professional and awesome. He help me add a loop for the water softener in my basement and did the plumbing for my kitchen remodel. They will clean up the site really well and I am happy with the experience.
