Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installation

  • Signs you may need a replacement include inconsistent hot water, strange noises, rust-colored water, or leaks near the base of the unit. If your water heater is over 10 years old, it’s often more cost-effective to replace than repair.


    John Payne Plumbing helps homeowners across Northeast Georgia determine whether a repair or replacement is the right move—and we’ll never upsell you on what you don’t need.

  • We install traditional tank water heaters and high-efficiency tankless systems, including gas and electric models. Not sure which is right for your home? We’ll explain the pros and cons of each based on your water usage, space, and budget.


    From Gainesville to Dawsonville and beyond, John Payne Plumbing is here to help you find the best fit.

  • Most installations take 2–4 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and whether we’re upgrading your system to a different style (like switching from tank to tankless). We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin.


    We provide fast, clean installations across Northeast Georgia—and we take care of permits and code compliance too.

  • Yes, tankless units offer endless hot water and improved efficiency, but they may require adjustments to your gas or electric setup. We’ll assess whether your home is tankless-ready and give you all the details.
