Same-Day Water Heater Replacement and Tankless Upgrades with Carlong Plumbing

Cold showers weren’t on your to-do list this week—and they don’t have to be. When your water heater fails, we move fast. In most homes, we can replace a standard tank the same day, and when you’re eyeing a tankless upgrade, we’ll guide you through what’s possible, what it takes, and how to get it done right.

The Problem We Solve Every Day

Hot water shouldn’t be a guessing game. Whether your current unit can’t keep up with multiple bathrooms or it’s simply at the end of its life, you need clear answers and a dependable plan. At Carlong Plumbing, our team—including Jamie and Pete—specializes in straightforward guidance, same-day replacement for standard tanks, and expert consultations for tankless water heater installations.

Same-Day Water Heater Replacement: What to Expect

For typical residential systems—40, 50, or 75-gallon tanks—we almost always offer same-day installation. Call us, schedule a time, and we’ll handle the rest.

• Typical homes: 40-, 50-, or 75-gallon units are usually installed the same day.
• Larger tanks: A 100-gallon unit or anything unusual may require a day or two of planning for equipment and logistics.
• Clear communication: We confirm capacity, fuel type, and venting ahead of time so there are no surprises.

Bottom line: if your goal is quick hot water restoration, a standard replacement is the fastest route.

Thinking About a Tankless Water Heater?

If your home has multiple bathrooms and your current tank can’t keep up, tankless can be a great option. But it’s not a plug-and-play swap. Going from a tank to a tankless involves more labor and a careful assessment of your home.

Why a Professional Consultation Comes First

As Jamie and Pete emphasize, not every home is a good fit for tankless. A consultation ensures we set the right expectations and design a workable plan.

During our visit, we evaluate:

• Gas or electrical capacity and routing
• Venting requirements and options
• Water lines and placement
• Code compliance and safety clearances

In some setups, a tankless just isn’t feasible—and it’s better to know that up front than be disappointed later.

How Long Does a Tankless Installation Take?

It depends on your home. Converting from a tank to a tankless can be:

• As quick as an afternoon when conditions are ideal
• Up to a couple of days when rerouting lines and revising venting is required

Expect more moving parts than a standard tank replacement. We’ll give you a clear timeline after the consultation so you can plan with confidence.

How to Prepare for a Tankless Retrofit

Once we’ve aligned on a plan, a little prep on your end can speed things up:

• Clear the installation area and create a path for our technicians.
• Be available the day of the install to answer questions or approve minor adjustments.
• Plan for at least one full day on-site for most tankless conversions.

These simple steps help us deliver a smooth, efficient installation.

Standard Tank vs. Tankless: Quick Guidance

• Choose a standard tank if you need hot water restored fast. Same-day replacement is common for 40–75 gallon units.
• Consider tankless if you want continuous hot water and greater efficiency—but start with a consultation to confirm feasibility and scope.

Key Takeaways from Our Pros

• We can usually replace standard residential water heaters the same day.
• Tankless upgrades require a professional consultation due to venting and line changes.
• Not every home can support a tankless unit; we’ll confirm before you commit.
• A tankless retrofit typically takes at least a full day; complex setups can take longer.
• Clear access and homeowner availability help keep projects on schedule.
