Water heaters in Austin homes

Central Austin's older homes often have water heaters in small closets or added utility spaces, while hillside homes to the west may have them in garages on a lower level. Austin water is moderately hard, so sediment builds up over time.

Tight spaces sometimes make wall-mounted tankless units appealing.

What Austin homeowners ask about

  • Replacing heaters in older homes with tight spaces
  • Sediment from hard water
  • Tankless to save space
  • Garage heaters on lower levels
  • Venting changes in older homes
Active leak? Water coming from the tank or its fittings needs attention right away. If it's safe to do so, close the cold-water supply valve on the heater and turn off its power (electric) or set the gas control to "off," then call a plumber right away. This site's form is for project inquiries, not emergency service.

What to include with your inquiry

  • Your ZIP code and whether you're replacing, upgrading to tankless, or adding capacity.
  • Current heater type: gas tank, electric tank, or tankless, and its size in gallons if you know it.
  • Where it's installed: garage, attic, closet, or utility room.
  • A photo of the label on the heater, which shows the size, fuel type, and often the manufacture date.
  • What's going wrong: no hot water, running out fast, temperature swings, noises, or leaks.
