Running out of hot water, rusty water from the tap, or a tank that's leaking at the base? owensplumbingservicesllc replaces and installs water heaters for homes in New Braunfels — tank and tankless, gas and electric.
We size the new unit to how your household actually uses hot water, and install it with the parts that matter for safety and lifespan: correct venting, a working pressure relief valve, an expansion tank where it's needed, and new connections.
Replacing a water heater on your schedule is far cheaper than cleaning up after one fails.
We look at household size, peak usage and your fuel type, then walk you through tank and tankless options with prices for each.
The old heater is drained, disconnected and hauled away.
New unit, new connections, correct venting, a relief valve line that goes somewhere safe, and an expansion tank if your system needs one.
We fire it up, check for leaks and proper draft, set the temperature, and show you the shutoff and how to flush it yearly.
| Factor | Tank | Tankless |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower — the simplest swap for most homes. | Higher, especially if gas lines or venting need upgrading. |
| Hot water supply | Limited to the tank's capacity until it reheats. | Continuous, as long as the unit is sized for your peak demand. |
| Lifespan | Typically 8–12 years. | Often 15–20 years with yearly descaling. |
| Space | Needs floor space for the tank. | Wall-mounted and compact. |
Neither is right for every home. We'll recommend what fits your usage and budget.
Every job is quoted after we see it — these are the things that move the number:
Tankless units cost more up front and often need gas or venting upgrades.
Switching between gas and electric adds work to run new lines or circuits.
Larger tanks and higher-output tankless units cost more.
Expansion tanks, seismic straps, drain pans or new venting may be required when a heater is replaced.
Attics, closets and tight spaces take more labor than a garage floor.

A like-for-like tank swap usually takes a few hours. Switching to tankless or changing fuel types takes longer because of new lines and venting.
Once a year for most tanks, and more often if your water is hard. Tankless units need a yearly descale.
Often, yes. Moving it adds new supply, drain and venting or electrical work, which we'll price for you up front.
