Ruud Water Heaters in Columbus
The short answer
Yes, we install Ruud water heaters, and we also install and recommend Rheem, State Water Heaters and Bradford White. We recommend the heater that suits your house after looking at the fuel, venting, size and access, not the brand name alone.
What we look at before quoting a Ruud heater
- The fuel the house uses now, gas or electric.
- How the old heater vents, and whether the vent can be reused.
- The size of the household and how hot water is used.
- Where the heater sits and how easy it is to reach.
- Anything outside the standard job, such as drain pan work, an expansion tank, gas or flue rework, or missing code items.
What a standard replacement includes
Tankless installations are priced after a site assessment. A readily accessible, standard 40-gallon atmospheric gas replacement (not power-vent) has a published starting price, and it normally covers:
- Draining the old heater, disconnecting it, removing it and disposing of it.
- Reconnecting to the existing water lines and shutoff, with a normal gas reconnection.
- Installing the new heater and verifying it's operating.
Warranty
A standard installation carries one year of labor and workmanship coverage. Defects in the heater itself are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by model, so check the documentation for your heater. You register the product where the manufacturer requires it, and we help with the manufacturer's claim and service process if a covered defect comes up.
