Water heater installation usually starts the day the hot water quits. A tank that leaks from the shell is finished, and no part will bring it back. We size a new unit, set it in place, and connect the water and the fuel. When the tank is younger and one part has failed, water heater repair is often the better answer.
We put in tank water heaters, gas and electric, from Edgewood out through Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Corrales. Most homes here run a 40 or 50 gallon tank in a garage, a closet or a utility room. We also fit tankless water heaters when a household wants hot water on demand. Call (505) 306-8285 for a free estimate, and we put it in writing before the work starts.

We start with what is there now. Tank size, fuel, venting, the shutoff and how the old unit comes out all shape the job. A 40 gallon gas tank wedged in a hall closet is different work than a garage swap. You hear the plan before we touch anything.
A new water heater is more than the tank. The temperature and pressure relief valve needs a discharge line run to a safe spot. A gas unit needs venting that draws right and a fresh connector at the gas valve. On an electric unit the wiring has to match the new heater. An electrician handles any panel work.
If the house has a pressure reducing valve at the meter, the water system is closed. Heated water expands with nowhere to go, so pressure climbs and the relief valve weeps. An expansion tank takes up that swing, and we add one where the house calls for it. The old heater leaves with us.
For gas units, yes. The fuel gas code rates appliance input up to 2,000 feet above sea level. Past that the rated input drops about 4 percent per 1,000 feet. A maker's instructions can set a different figure.
Edgewood sits near 6,700 feet and the Albuquerque valley floor is closer to 5,300. A gas water heater here has to be approved for that elevation. Some models need a high altitude setup from the maker. Electric units do not care how high the house sits.
Fuel matters too. Plenty of East Mountain homes burn propane rather than natural gas, and the two run at different pressures. When a new heater needs a line run or resized, that is gas line installation. We handle it on the same visit where we can.
Tanks do not last forever. Federal energy guidance puts a heater past ten years on the replacement list. The signs read plainly: rust in the hot water, damp metal at the base, rumbling as it heats. A tank that splits on its own becomes an emergency plumbing job, and we take those calls day or night.
Size is the other decision. A 40 gallon tank suits one or two people with a single bathroom. A 50 gallon tank fits a household that showers back to back or runs the washer at once. We size it on bathrooms and habits, not square footage.
A swap can also need a permit and an inspection. In New Mexico that runs through the state Construction Industries Division or a local building department. Which one applies depends on where the house sits. We pull the paperwork and meet the inspector.
