Edmond, Oklahoma

We replace gas and electric tank heaters across Edmond, handle the city permit when the job calls for it, and install the new unit so it is vented correctly, safe and sized for your household.

(405) 309-1873About half of Edmond's homes were built between 1970 and 1999, and roughly 4 in 10 more have gone up since 2000, according to Census estimates. That history shows up in where the water heater lives, and location drives most of the replacement plan.
Older houses near downtown and UCO sometimes have the heater tucked into a back porch closet or a later addition. We look at the space before quoting, because getting the old tank out is sometimes the hardest part of the day.
Electric water heaters in town run on power from Edmond Electric, which the city has operated since 1908 and which buys its wholesale supply through the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority. Natural gas comes from Oklahoma Natural Gas, which maintains the pipe up to your house; the gas piping inside belongs to you. Most replacements stay with the same fuel, since switching means new wiring or new gas piping and venting. When a gas heater is replaced, we check the connector, shutoff and venting rather than reusing tired parts.
Cold months expose a weak tank, because incoming water is coldest and the heater runs longest. When an Edmond tank fails in January, we focus on getting hot water back fast and getting the size right, because a heater that is barely adequate in summer will fall short on the first cold week. If the old tank is leaking, we shut off the water and fuel and drain it before it does more damage.

Local, licensed and insured
Licensed
A water heater swap touches water piping, venting and often a gas line, and the City of Edmond treats piping and gas work as permitted work. We do state-licensed plumbing work, and we pull the permit with the city's Building & Fire Code Services when the job needs one. That way the installation is on record and inspected, which matters when you sell the house or file an insurance claim.
Since 1985
Our plumbing experience installing water heaters goes back to 1985, and we size every replacement to the household instead of just copying the old label, because the old heater may have been too small from the start. We ask how many people live there, how many baths you have and whether anyone fills a big tub, then size the replacement to fit. A 1980s ranch home and a five-bedroom house built last decade need very different answers.
24/7
Tanks rarely fail at a convenient time, and a winter failure is the hardest one to live with. We answer 24/7 and same-day replacement is often available, so a leaking tank in a garage or attic does not turn into a week of cold showers. Financing is available on new water heaters, and we hold a 4.9-star rating from 88 Google reviews for how we handle these calls.

These guys were great! A breath of fresh air from the usual contractor/service. They cared about fixing the problem not how much they can charge. I had a same day service need, leak in between floors, the day before a trip. They came out same day and presented multiple solutions as well as keen explanations.
Mr. Robert has amazing customer service and work ethic. He fixed our toilet very quickly and explained everything that he was doing, and even showed us the finished product. Awesome work!
After having issues with my bathroom and kitchen plumbing for a few days, I contacted Plumber Oklahoma City, OK Plumbing & Repair this morning. He told me he was very busy, but would work to schedule our repair in with his team.
Straight answers
In most cases, yes. Swapping a heater means disconnecting and reconnecting water piping, which Edmond treats as a plumbing alteration, and any change to the gas line falls under the city's mechanical permit. Rules can change, so we confirm requirements with Building & Fire Code Services on each job and pull the permit as part of the installation.
Yes. Attic and upstairs closet installs take more planning than a garage swap, because the old tank has to come out safely and the new one needs a drain pan, a properly routed relief valve line and sound venting. Since a leak above a ceiling does more damage, we often suggest adding a leak sensor or an automatic shutoff at the same time.
Most Edmond replacements stay with the same fuel, because switching means new wiring, or new gas piping and venting, on top of the heater itself. Some owners still make the change for good reasons. Tell us what you are considering and we will lay out what the switch involves at your address before you buy anything.
