Tank or tankless, gas or electric — Armada installs and replaces water heaters of all types and brands across the DMV. Same day service available, licensed plumbers, and upfront pricing before any work begins.
Whether your water heater has stopped working, is leaking, or simply needs to be replaced after years of service, Armada's licensed plumbers handle the full job — from recommending the right system for your home to hauling away your old unit and leaving you with reliable hot water the same day.
We install and replace all types of water heaters: traditional tank models, high efficiency tankless systems, hybrid heat pump water heaters, and commercial grade units. Gas, electric, or propane — we work with every fuel type and all major brands.
Every home and household is different. We'll help you choose the system that best matches your hot water needs, fuel source, space, and budget.
The most common type — stores 30 to 80+ gallons of preheated water ready on demand. Available in gas and electric models. Lower upfront cost, straightforward installation, and reliable performance.
Heats water instantly as you need it — no storage tank, no standby heat loss. Up to 40% more energy efficient than traditional tank models, and delivers an endless supply of hot water.
The most energy efficient electric option available — uses heat pump technology to pull warmth from surrounding air instead of generating heat directly. Ideal for DMV homes with no gas access.
For larger homes, multi unit properties, or small businesses requiring high hot water output. We install commercial grade tank and tankless systems sized for demanding applications.
Most water heaters give plenty of warning before they fail completely. If you're seeing any of these, it's time to call Armada.
Traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years on average. If yours is a decade old, it's operating on borrowed time — efficiency has declined and the risk of sudden failure is significantly higher.
Running out of hot water faster than usual, water that never gets fully hot, or temperatures that fluctuate during a shower are signs the heating element, thermostat, or burner assembly is failing.
Water pooling around the base of your tank is a serious sign. Small leaks from fittings can sometimes be repaired, but a corroded tank itself cannot — replacement is the only safe option.
Brown or reddish hot water is a sign that your tank is corroding from the inside. Once interior corrosion begins it cannot be reversed — and the rust can contaminate your home's hot water supply.
Loud noises from your water heater are usually caused by sediment buildup on the heating element or tank floor. As the layer thickens, the heater works harder and harder — and becomes far more likely to fail.
As water heaters age, they lose efficiency and have to work harder to maintain temperature. If your gas or electric bills are creeping up without an obvious cause, your water heater may be the culprit.
Armada works with every leading water heater manufacturer — so you get the system that's right for your home, not just what we have in stock.
The right installation matters as much as the right equipment. Here's what sets Armada apart for water heater work in the DMV.
We assess your household size, hot water usage patterns, and fuel availability before recommending a system. An undersized unit leaves you cold; oversized wastes energy. We get the sizing right.
Water heater installation involves gas lines, electrical connections, pressure relief valves, and venting — all regulated work. Every Armada installation is performed by licensed plumbers, fully permitted and code compliant.
No hot water isn't something you want to wait on. We stock the most common water heater models and can often install your new unit the same day you call — restoring hot water before the day is done.
We disconnect and remove your old water heater and dispose of it responsibly — no extra charge, no leaving you with a tank on the curb. Installation includes everything from start to finished cleanup.
We register your new water heater's manufacturer warranty on the day of installation so you're fully covered from day one — and we stand behind our own labor with a workmanship guarantee.
You'll receive a written quote covering the unit, installation, haul away, and any needed permits or code upgrades — before we start. No surprises when the job is done.
