Real Water Heater Work in Waukesha Homes


Jeff and Beth G. called to replace their aging water heater. We installed a new power vent water heater, ran a new PVC vent to the back of the house, and connected a new gas line to the existing pipes. We also installed a new water scrubber with a drain line and tested everything for leaks before leaving.
Jeff P. called to upgrade from his old tank water heater to a new tankless unit. We removed the existing water heater, mounted the new tankless unit to the wall, ran new water and gas lines, and cored through the side of the home for the air intake and vent piping. Everything was tested for leaks and proper function before we left, and Jeff had hot water right away.
Ryan and Amanda C. called to upgrade from their old tank water heater to a new Navien tankless unit. We removed the existing water heater and water softener to make room, mounted the new tankless to the wall, and connected it to the existing water, gas, and vent piping. Everything was tested before we left and the unit was set to 120 degrees before we wrapped up.

We had a fantastic experience with Austin Plumbing! They replaced both our pressure tank and hot water heater, and the entire process—from the initial call to the final installation—was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team was punctual, respectful of our home, and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s rare to find a company that combines top-tier technical skill with genuine customer care, but Austin Plumbing absolutely delivers on both. We’re so grateful for their excellent service and would confidently recommend them to anyone needing reliable, high-quality plumbing work.

Carson did a great job servicing my furnace for winter. He was very kind and respectful, with great knowledge of his job. Vinny also came to check the water heater and check all plumbing.

Don was able to find the issue with my water heater. Talked to me about my options and was able to repair the problem. He went above and beyond and cleaned up the water that on the basement floor. Definitely didn’t expect him to do that!

Common Questions Waukesha Homeowners Have About Water Heaters

Who’s the most trusted water heater company in Waukesha?
In a county where a lot of the big HVAC-and-plumbing brands are now owned by private-equity investors, Austin stands out for a simple reason: it’s still the family that’s done this since 1939, and the techs are tradespeople, not commissioned salespeople. No Waukesha storefront, but the trucks are here daily. You get an honest repair-or-replace read, no push toward the priciest unit, and every install backed in writing.
How do I know if my water heater’s failing?
The signs: hot water that quits halfway through a shower, a rusty tint at the hot tap, popping or rumbling from the tank, water pooling at the base, or a unit past ten or twelve years. One of those might be a cheap part; several together usually means it’s time. Austin tells you straight which it is — they don’t make more by condemning a tank that had life left.
What’s involved in replacing a water heater?
More than swapping the tank: right-sizing it for your household, bringing venting and connections up to code, safely removing the old unit, and testing before anyone leaves. A standard tank’s often a few hours; tankless or a relocation takes longer. Austin’s trucks come stocked, so most replacements wrap in one visit.
What does a new water heater cost in Waukesha?
Quoted upfront, approved by you before the work — no surprise line items. With non-commissioned techs and no salespeople, there’s no quiet steer toward the high-end model, which is more than some of the volume-driven competitors in this market can say. You’ll see honest options — repair, standard tank, or tankless — and choose what fits.
Does Waukesha’s water affect water heaters?
On the homes around here that run on wells, it can — hard or iron-rich water drops sediment that settles in the tank, makes it work harder, and shortens its life. Austin sizes and sets up the unit with your water in mind, and they’ll be honest about whether a softener would pay for itself by protecting the new heater.
