There are a lot of determining factors that can change the price of a water heater install. But a “ballpark price” you can range anywhere from $1,800 $2,400 for a natural draft (chimney) water heater and $2,200-$2,600 for a power vented (fan assisted) water heater. If you are looking for a tankless water heater these can range from $4,000+. These are great starting numbers but you have to remember every install is different and depending on code upgrades, electrical and added accessories these number can fluctuate lower or higher. That’s why it is always best to call in and ask for a free in house estimate so we can measure everything on site and give you an honest quote in the comfort of your own home. All of our comfort advisors have journeyperson status with years of install experience. We aren’t sales people…. We are a company with your best interests in mind.
All companies have different costs of over head. At J&A we have a 6,000 sq/ft building we call home. We pride ourselves proper training for our employees, company vehicles and a career at J&A not just a job. Our installers take pride in their work. We guarantee there are companies out there that will be able to give you a “cheaper quote” but guess what… we aren’t a cheap company, and we don’t take short cuts. We have been around since 1978 and have employee that have been working here longer than most of those “cheaper quote” companies can keep there doors open for. We don’t believe in taillight warranty. So if you are looking for a company that can provide you with 12 years parts and 12 years labour then look no further.
After we have set up a time that works best for you we will call you the day prior to confirm the appointment (that’s if we aren’t already doing a same day install)
The morning of the install we will have one of our technicians give you a call with his/her estimated time of arrival (usually between 8-9am).
He/She will go over the details of the install with you and the Comfort Advisor you had discussed the protect with.
After a confirmed game plan has been discussed our installer with put down drop sheets throughout the home to best project your home from any unforeseen mess in the process of the install.
The install can range anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on the difficulty. (Remember this is the advantage of having us come in prior to take measurements, discuss the install, location of venting, etc)
Once the installed is completed we ask the homeowner to be present at home in order to go over and explain the new system and its sequence of operation.
Our installers carry I-pads so they are able to register your equipment for warranty as soon as they finish collecting payment.
Within the next few days you can expect a follow up call from the office or from your Comfort Advisor to see how you are liking your new system.

He was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The work he did was top-notch and he cleaned up after himself. It was a pleasure to have him as our service technician.

Reached out to J&A and they got me a quote in the morning and were able to install a new water heater before 1:00 PM that next day. They worked quickly, laid out drop cloths on the floor so that they did not soil the carpet while going in and out with the new water heater and removing the old one. Very happy with their service - and having hot water! Carol Behr2026-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I called J & A Heating and Plumbing on a Saturday to schedule an estimate for a wood or natural gas fireplace installation. John, the estimator, arrived early for his appointment the following Wednesday—despite a snowstorm! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, clearly explaining the options and what could and couldn’t be done. Before leaving, he said I would have an estimate within a day or two, and true to his word, I received it in two days. I highly recommend John and J & A Heating and Plumbing.

They installed our AC system and did an excellent job. Everyone we communicated with was very friendly and knowledgeable. We also had used J &A Heating and Plumbing a couple years ago to fix our water heater and they did a great job on that. Honest pricing and solid work. Definitely recommend them. Gayle Stookey2025-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Levi and Brayden were such fantastic technicians! They replaced our thirty year old water heater, water softener and pressure tank with all an all new water system. The task was long and tedious but they remained cheerful, professional and diligent. We were both impressed and grateful for their knowledge and experience. Thanks, J and A for always providing top service and product.Google rating score: 4.7 of 5, based on 129 reviews
