Seven of them. Pick the one that matches what is happening, or call and describe it — we will tell you which it is. For an overview of what we do and what it costs, start on the home page.
Each of these is its own page, because the answer to “how much” is different for every one of them.
No hot water, a pilot that will not stay lit, a rumbling tank or water at the base. Diagnosed properly before anything is quoted — and we tell you when a repair is the wrong call.
Water heater repairOld unit out, new one in, haul-away included, permit filed with Portland BDS. Most same-size swaps are finished in a single visit.
ReplacementNew construction, a remodel, a relocation or a first-time conversion — venting, gas line, expansion tank, pan and seismic strapping all sized and installed to Oregon code.
New installationHot water that does not run out, and a unit that outlasts two tanks. Navien, Rinnai and Noritz — installed, serviced and descaled for Portland water.
TanklessThe cheapest hot water to run in an all-electric Portland home, and the unit Energy Trust of Oregon pays the most to install.
Heat pumpA tank failing at 11pm does not wait for business hours. We answer 24/7, and the flat rate at midnight is the flat rate at midday.
Emergency repairA flush, an anode rod check, a T&P test and a burner clean. The difference between a heater that reaches twelve years and one that fails at eight.

Installed prices for Portland in 2026 — unit, labour, haul-away of the old heater and the Portland BDS permit included. A heat pump installation drops to roughly $1,300–$2,800 once the Energy Trust of Oregon rebate is applied. Anything that changes the scope — a fuel conversion, new venting, a gas line upsize, a relocation — is quoted separately and in writing before we start.
Based in Buckman, close-in SE. One flat rate anywhere inside city limits, with no travel surcharge and no zip code we treat as the edge of the map.
Describe what the unit is doing and we will tell you which service it is, what it usually costs, and whether it is worth repairing at all.
A real diagnosis and a flat-rate price in writing, anywhere in Portland, at no cost.
