Hard limestone water is the defining fact of hot water in McLennan County: it eats tank liners, scales up tankless heat exchangers, and shortens nameplate life by years when sediment goes unmanaged. Every recommendation below starts from that reality — not from whatever unit happens to be on the truck.
Choose Your Service
Tankless Water Heaters
Endless hot water is real — but in Central Texas it comes with homework: flow-rate sizing, gas supply capacity, and descaling on a calendar.

Tank Water Heater Installation
A standard tank is still the right answer for most homes around here — when it is sized from how the household actually uses hot water and installed with every code item already in the written quote.
View →
Gas Water Heaters
Gas tanks recover fast and keep making hot water through a power outage — but venting, combustion air, and gas line sizing decide whether the install is safe and to code.
View →
Electric Water Heaters
No burner, no flue, no gas line — electric units are the simple, serviceable choice, and in all-electric neighborhoods they are the only choice.

Commercial Water Heaters
When a restaurant dish line, a salon, or a twelve-unit property loses hot water, it is a revenue problem, not a comfort problem.

What We Handle
Honest tank-vs-tankless math
Tankless wins on space and endless hot water; tanks win on upfront cost and simpler service. We walk the trade-offs for your household instead of defaulting to the bigger ticket.
Sized to the household, not the shelf
Recovery rate, first-hour rating, and flow rate decide whether showers stay hot. We size from how your home actually uses water.
Code-complete installs
Pans, expansion tanks, venting, seismic strapping, and T&P discharge lines are in the written quote — not surprise add-ons at the end.
Repairs and replacements, both honest
A failing fitting is not a failing tank. We diagnose first and show repair and replacement numbers side by side when age makes it a real question.

Common Questions
Tank or tankless — which is right for a Central Texas home?
Depends on how you use hot water. Tankless units deliver endless hot water and free up floor space, but our hard water means descaling on a schedule is non-negotiable. Standard tanks cost less up front and are simpler to service. We give you both numbers and the honest trade-offs.
How long should a water heater last here?
Less time than the brochure says. Limestone-heavy water drops sediment that works tanks harder and ages them faster — we routinely see tanks give out two to four years before their nameplate life unless sediment is flushed. Tankless units live longer, but only with regular descaling.
Do you handle gas and electric units?
Both, plus conversions between them when the situation calls for it. Gas swaps involve venting and gas line checks; electric work can involve circuit and breaker verification. Either way the scope and price are written down before work starts.
Can you help with financing on a replacement?
Yes — financing options are available on qualifying installations, and the monthly math is often easier than an emergency lump sum. Ask when you book, or see our financing page for details.
