🔧 Water Heater Services

⚡ Tankless Water Heaters

J.W. Bliss Plumbing installs and services tankless water heaters for homes across Lapeer, Genesee, and Oakland Counties. Also called on-demand water heaters, tankless units heat water only when you need it — which means no running out of hot water and no paying to keep a full tank heated 24 hours a day. We install tankless units from top manufacturers including Rinnai and Navien, and can help you determine whether a tankless upgrade makes sense for your home.

🏢 Brands We Carry

We stock and install water heaters from the industry's most trusted manufacturers. When you call, we'll tell you exactly what's available for same-day installation and recommend the best option for your home and budget.

💰 Water Heater Installation Cost

Water heater installation costs in Southeast Michigan vary depending on the type of unit, the brand, the size, and the complexity of the installation. A standard tank water heater replacement typically runs less than a tankless conversion, which may require additional gas line or electrical work.

At J.W. Bliss Plumbing, we provide flat-rate, upfront pricing before any work begins — no surprise charges on the invoice. Send us a few photos of your existing unit and we'll give you a free estimate right over the phone. No service call fee required just to get a quote.
