Water Heater Installation and Repair in Minneapolis

Water Heater Installation & Replacement Services

Your water heater plays a big role in your home's comfort - accounting for about 18% of energy use. That's why it's essential to keep it running efficiently. Whether you need a quick repair, routine maintenance, or a new energy-saving model, Apollo Heating, Air & Plumbing is here to guide you. We'll help you find the perfect water heater for your needs, budget, and home size.

Find the Right Water Heater for Your Home

Two options cover most Twin Cities homes, and the right one depends on your household size, fuel type, and available space.

Storage Water Heaters

The traditional tank holds heated water until you need it, with safety features like air and fuel shut-off. Lower up-front cost and simpler to service.

A reliable, traditional option that stores hot water in a tank, offering safety features like air/fuel shut-off for better efficiency and peace of mind.

Tankless Water Heaters

Heat water only when you call for it. No standby loss, a much smaller footprint, and no running out mid-shower. Higher upfront cost that pays for itself over the life of the unit.

Get hot water on demand! These space-saving units heat water only when needed, reducing energy use and providing endless hot showers.

Signs It Is Time to Replace

Most water heaters give you a warning before they quit. A tank that fails without one can put 40 gallons on your basement floor.

• The unit is more than 10 years old
• Rusty or discolored hot water
• Rumbling or popping from sediment in the tank
• Water pooling around the base
• Hot water running out sooner than it used to

If you are seeing water at the base, call us rather than waiting. That one rarely improves on its own.

Minnesota Requires a Permit, and That Matters

Minnesota plumbing code requires a permit for every water heater replacement, and the work has to be done by a licensed plumber unless you are doing it yourself on your own homesteaded property.

Our licensed team pulls the permit, properly sizes the unit, handles venting and the temperature and pressure relief line, and stays for the inspection. A cheaper install that skips the permit becomes your problem when you sell the house.

Emergency Water Heater Replacement

No hot water in a Minnesota January is not a wait-until-Monday problem. We run a 24/7 emergency service, and a same-day replacement is often possible.

Call 612-440-5417 for Maplewood and the Twin Cities, or 507-357-2295 for Le Center and the south metro.

Size & Efficiency Matter

Choosing the right size water heater is key to balancing comfort and energy savings. Our experts will recommend the ideal option to fit your household's needs and maximize efficiency, helping you save on energy bills.

Is It Time to Upgrade?

If your water heater is over 10 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. New models are more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, helping you cut long-term costs. Whether you want a sleek tankless system or a traditional unit, we'll help you find the best fit for your home and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does Installation Take?

A straightforward tank swap usually takes a few hours. Tankless conversions take longer, since venting and gas line sizing often change.

How Much Does a New Water Heater Cost?

It depends on the unit, your fuel type, and the existing setup's requirements. Our Instant Water Heater Quote gives you a real number online before anyone visits your home.

Tank or Tankless for a Minnesota Home?

Tankless water heaters suit smaller spaces and households that run out of hot water. A tank is often the better value for larger families with steady demand. We will tell you honestly which fits.

Do You Handle the Permit?

Yes. We pull it, do the coding work, and stay for the inspection.
