Professional Water Heater Replacement in Miami
A water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home. However, storage tank models typically last only 8 to 12 years. When your water heater starts rusting, leaking, or failing to supply hot water, it's time to consider a professional replacement. At AquaFlow Plumbing Miami, we supply and install top-rated, energy-efficient gas and electric water heaters, including advanced space-saving tankless models. Our team handles the entire process, including code compliance permit management, extraction of your old tank, and safe electrical/gas line routing.

A standard swap of a traditional tank water heater takes about 2 to 3 hours. Upgrading from a tank to a tankless system requires modifications to venting, gas, or electrical lines and typically takes 4 to 6 hours.
For a home of 1 to 2 people, a 30 to 40-gallon tank is usually sufficient. Families of 3 to 4 people generally require a 50-gallon tank. For homes with 5 or more people, or high hot water demands, we recommend a 75-gallon tank or a tankless water heater.
