It took 3 visits/repairs to figure out what was wrong with my hot water heater but they waived the labor for the 3rd repair. I appreciated that.

We hired Riverway Plumbing to install a pressure reducing valve. Due to a previous plumber’s mistake it was a bit more involved than we originally thought but Evan went above and beyond to help us out. Thank You Evan.

Amazing! I ❤️ Riverway! Brandon came out on a Sunday and fixed the pipe that blew out. I was frantic because when the pipe broke it sprayed all over the bathroom. He really saved the day, he was professional, and super nice.

Riverway always does such great work. The capacitor went out on our air conditioner and they had someone out the same day and the repair took maybe 15 minutes. They’re always kind and courteous. We’ve had them out three times for various issues and we keep calling them because they take such good care of us and stand by their work.

F. A. Q

Your Water Heater Installation Questions Answered

Replacing a major appliance often brings up technical questions. Here are the most common things our Bloomington customers ask when they need a new water heater.

If your water heater is over 10 to 12 years old, has a leaking tank, or requires a repair that costs more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is the smarter investment. Newer models are vastly more efficient than those manufactured just a decade ago.

A traditional tank heater keeps a large volume of water hot at all times. A tankless system heats water on demand as it flows through the unit. Tankless units are smaller, last longer, and never run out of hot water, but they typically have a higher upfront installation cost.

For a standard tank-to-tank replacement, our Bloomington team can usually complete the work in 2 to 4 hours. Transitioning from a tank to a tankless system may take a full day as it requires new gas lines and venting configurations.

The ideal water heater depends on your household size, daily hot water usage, and the number of bathrooms and appliances that use hot water. Our technicians help recommend the appropriate system based on your home's needs.

Yes. As part of the installation process, we can disconnect, remove, and properly dispose of your old water heater, making the replacement process as convenient as possible.
