How It Works When You Call Us
Phone sizing conversation
Household size, fixture count, existing tank size, and your basement temperature if we are talking heat pump water heater. We sort whether you need 40 gal, 50 gal, or a tankless retrofit before the truck rolls.
Cross-bridge dispatch
Our shop is across the bridge at 1808 Tower Ave in Superior. We tell you on the call when a tech can be there. We bring the likely install size in the truck so we do not have to make two trips. Hot water matters tonight, not Thursday.
Removal, install, and code upgrade
Old tank drained and removed. New tank set and connected. Expansion tank installed and backflow checked. Venting updated if we are converting from atmospheric to power-vent or direct-vent.
Test, commission, document
Pressure test, leak test, T&P operation check, water temp at the nearest fixture. Permit closed with the City of Duluth inspection.

Water Heater Questions We Hear from Duluth Homeowners
40-gallon gas. 50-gallon gas. 50-gallon electric. Tankless. Heat pump. Pricing includes expansion tank, code upgrades, permit, and haul-away of the old unit.
Call (715) 817-4404 and we will tell you when a plumber can be there. Tankless and heat pump conversions need 1 to 3 days to schedule because of the additional electrical and venting work involved.
Yes. The plumbing permit goes through City of Duluth Construction Services & Inspections, at City Hall, 411 W 1st Street. Venting upgrades may be needed when replacing an atmospheric draft unit. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
Sometimes. A tankless unit has to be sized for cold winter incoming water, which usually means a larger unit than the brochure suggests. Payback depends on how much hot water the household uses.
Heat pump water heater efficiency drops below 50F ambient. An unheated basement can run cold in winter. If your basement is unheated, a HPWH is not the right choice without auxiliary heat in the space or a hybrid install strategy. We measure basement temperature before we recommend one.
Incoming water is colder in winter, so your tank has to heat colder water to the same output temperature, which means fewer usable gallons before the burner catches up. Fix options: size up, or add a recirculation pump.
