Bradford White gas water heater installation by Alliance Plumbing in Kalamazoo, MI

What We Do

Tank Water Heater Replacement

Gas or electric, 6 to 100 gallons. We carry Bradford White as a primary brand because they're built to last in Michigan's hard-water environment.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Endless hot water, lower energy bills, no tank to leak. We install Navien and Bradford White tankless units and we'll size the unit properly for your household demand.

Water Heater Repair

Pilot light won't stay lit? No hot water? Popping noises? In many cases a repair gets you another 3–5 years out of an existing unit — and we'll tell you straight when replacement is the smarter call.

Hybrid / Heat Pump Water Heaters

Big rebates available in Michigan for high-efficiency heat-pump water heaters. We'll help you pick a unit, install it, and walk you through the rebate paperwork.

Anode Rod & Maintenance

Yearly flush and anode rod check can double the lifespan of a tank heater. We offer affordable maintenance visits.

Signs You Need Water Heater Service

Noticing any of these? It's time to call a licensed plumber.

No hot water

Or it runs out far faster than it used to.

Rusty or cloudy hot water

A sign of tank corrosion or heavy sediment.

Rumbling or popping sounds

Sediment hardening at the bottom of the tank.

Water pooling at the base

A leaking tank rarely fixes itself.

10+ years old

Most tanks are near the end of their life by then.

Climbing energy bills

An aging or scaled heater works harder for less.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a water heater install take?

Most standard tank replacements take 3–4 hours start to finish, including hauling away your old unit. Tankless installs typically take a full day.

Should I repair or replace?

Rule of thumb: if your heater is under 8 years old and the repair is under half the cost of replacement, repair. If it's 10+ years old, leaking from the tank, or the repair is more than half of replacement, it's time for a new unit.

Do you carry the heater on the truck?

For common 40 and 50-gallon gas and electric tanks, yes — we can usually replace same-day. Tankless and larger commercial units are ordered in.

Will a tankless water heater really save me money?

Tankless units use 25–35% less energy than tank heaters. Payback typically runs 7–12 years depending on hot water usage. The bigger win is endless hot water and no tank to leak.

Do you offer financing on water heaters?

Yes — through our financing partners (Wisetack and Hearth). Pre-qualify in 30 seconds without affecting your credit. Most customers split a new heater into 6, 12, or 24 monthly payments.
