Hot Water That Lasts All Day

Water Heater Installation in Louisville

You turn on the shower in your Louisville home and wait for hot water that used to arrive in seconds but now takes longer, runs cooler, or cuts out halfway through. Your water heater is either undersized, aging past its useful life, or failing at the burner or heating element level. Replacing it means you get consistent hot water for showers, laundry, dishes, and any other task that depends on reliable temperature.

Morata Plumbing Service LLC installs water heaters for homes and businesses throughout Louisville, helping you choose between tank and tankless models based on household size, usage patterns, and fuel type. We handle gas, electric, and hybrid systems, ensuring proper venting, electrical connections, and code compliance. Installation includes removing the old unit, positioning the new heater, connecting water lines and fuel sources, and testing for leaks and proper operation.

Sizing and Fuel Type Determine What You Get

We start by asking how many people live in your Louisville home, how often you run hot water at the same time, and whether you prefer a storage tank or an on-demand tankless system. A 40-gallon tank works for two people with moderate use, while larger households or homes with multiple bathrooms often need 50 gallons or more. Tankless heaters supply continuous hot water but require higher upfront installation costs and specific gas line or electrical upgrades.

Once installed, you'll notice hot water arrives at the tap within the usual recovery time for tank models or almost instantly for tankless units. The new heater maintains temperature without the fluctuations or cold patches you experienced with the old system. You'll also see more accurate temperature control and, in most cases, lower energy costs as newer models insulate better and heat more efficiently.

Installation includes mounting the unit on a platform if required by code, connecting pressure relief valves, installing drain pans where needed, and checking combustion airflow for gas models. We test the thermostat, inspect all connections for leaks, and walk you through basic maintenance such as flushing sediment and adjusting temperature settings. We do not install units in spaces without adequate clearance or ventilation, and we explain any structural or electrical upgrades needed before installation can proceed.

You'll Want to Know What Fits Your Home

Homeowners in Louisville often ask whether they should stick with a tank or switch to tankless, how long installation takes, and what happens to the old water heater.

How do I choose between a tank and a tankless water heater?
Tank heaters cost less upfront and work well for homes with predictable hot water needs. Tankless heaters supply endless hot water but require higher installation costs and may need gas line or electrical upgrades.
How long does water heater installation take?
Most installations take three to five hours, depending on whether we're replacing a similar unit or switching fuel types. If you need new venting, electrical circuits, or gas line modifications, the work may extend to a full day.
What size water heater do I need for a family of four?
A 50-gallon tank typically handles a family of four with standard usage. If you run multiple showers, dishwashers, and laundry loads at the same time, you may need a larger tank or a tankless system.
What happens to my old water heater?
We disconnect, drain, and remove your old unit as part of the installation. Most old heaters are taken to a recycling facility where metal components are recovered.
How long will my new water heater last?
Tank water heaters typically last eight to twelve years, while tankless models often run fifteen to twenty years with proper maintenance. Flushing sediment annually and replacing anode rods when needed extend the life of tank models.
