Water Heaters
A water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home. Although water heaters will last many, many years, they do need proper, routine maintenance.
​
If you're considering switching to a Tankless water heater, we are a Rinnai certified installer, so we would be glad to discuss your needs and concerns in order to give you a concise quote on switching.

Tank Water Heaters
At 3rd Rock Plumbing, we've installed many brands and styles of tank water heaters, including Rinnai, Rheem, Navian, State, AO Smith and more. We've installed 80-100 gallon commercial units for restaurants or larger homes as well as a broad range of residential sizes that work for crawlspaces, external installations or inside the home. Our experience is wide ranging.
You can make an appointment with our staff to inquire what might work best for your home or business. There may be options you haven't considered for a challenging problem. For example, instant point-of-use units can serve a direct connection for situations like a break room sink. We provide and install both electric and gas models.

Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters arguably offer many advantages over the tank options. Choosing what is best for your home and family's needs can involve a lot of research and questions. Our experienced plumbers can help guide you to the options that fit your requirements best.
​
Tankless water heaters provide quick and limitless hot water, and are energy efficient. They take up less space, can be externally installed, and provide on demand hot water, and only when you need it for better energy efficiency. We provide and install electric and gas tankless units.
