Eric Lambert
Could not ask for a better person (Lafe) and a better company . Very pleased 💯
scott ramage
Joe and his guys installed new plumbing in a house for me everything went smoothly they did a great job.
Sheila S
Lafe did a great job fixing my kitchen sink! He thoroughly checked to make sure all was working before he left. He was personable and detected the problem promptly. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!
Levi Engles-Williams
Garbage disposal was leaking and just wanted the old thing completely removed instead of replacing it. Lafe did a great job and didn't try to convince me to get a new disposal, which would have cost more, like some other places would have tried to do. He was friendly and easy to talk to while still getting the job done. Will definitely recommend this company and won't think twice about calling them again for any other plumbing issues we have.
Barb Meyer
Leif was friendly, on time, and kept me informed of everthing as it was being repaired. I would use this company again. Thanks.
Karen Marcus
Joe has helped three clients in the last month. He has consistently provided reasonable and fair bids, shown up when he says he will be there, and helped us get repairs done in a timely manner to be able to close on schedule. Highly recommend.
Erik Fenter
Prompt service that provided great care and was very thorough. I was very impressed. It's been l a long time since I could trust a plumber. Those orange and black stripe guys are terrible. A+ is true to their name.
Julia Fargotstein
We had a great experience with A+ Plumbing! Lafe was personable, honest, and really easy to talk to, which made the whole process stress-free. We needed a bathtub drain and sink drain pipe repaired. The guys arrived and fixed the issues in our home quickly and did quality work. The price they quoted was very reasonable as well. We’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend them!
Laurie Funk
I was very pleased on how fast and quick they came out and fixed my broken pipes outside and fixed everything downstairs. Very fast responding to help me. Very good work and great clean up. Would definitely recommend them for anything else I need done.
Start with the reason for replacing the heater
A failed unit, repeated repairs and a household that has outgrown its hot-water supply are different starting points. A Plus Plumbing & Drain Cleaning provides water-heater installation for homeowners in Alton and nearby Metro East communities. Tell us what has changed and what you need the new equipment to do.
If the existing heater is not working, describe the symptoms before assuming replacement is the only option. A discussion about water-heater repair may be appropriate when the cause has not yet been identified. Condition, repair needs and household demand all belong in the decision.
Match the equipment to daily use
Think about the busiest period for hot water in your home. Showers, laundry and kitchen use can overlap, and a system that once felt adequate may no longer meet those needs. Explain how the current heater performs and when the water runs cold.
Tank and tankless equipment supply hot water differently. If you are considering a change, ask about tankless installation and repair as well as a conventional replacement. Compare how each option would handle your household’s busiest period of hot-water use.
Understand what the installation requires
The available space, access to the old unit, water connections and energy supply affect the work. Requirements for the selected heater also matter. A different model or equipment type can involve changes beyond reconnecting the existing plumbing.
Before purchasing a unit yourself, share the model information and ask about compatibility. If equipment is already on site, make that clear when you contact us. Discuss removal of the old heater, any changes to the installation and the expected interruption to hot water so there is a clear understanding of the proposed work.
Arrange an assessment
Have your address, the current heater’s type and approximate age available if known. Photos of the accessible installation and equipment label can help begin the conversation. There is no need to open the heater or move it to gather information.
Call (618) 787-5771 24 hours a day, seven days a week to discuss water-heater installation. We are based in Bethalto and serve Alton, Edwardsville and nearby Metro East communities; call to confirm availability at your address.
Helpful answers
Water heater installation questions
Should I buy a water heater before arranging installation?
Discuss the proposed unit and existing setup first. Size, connections, energy supply and installation requirements affect compatibility. If you already purchased a heater, share its model information before scheduling the work.
How do I know what size heater I need?
Start with how many people use hot water and which fixtures or appliances run together. The current heater's performance is useful background. Capacity should be considered alongside the type of equipment and the home's installation requirements.
Does a heater problem always mean replacement?
No. Some faults may be repairable. The cause, equipment condition and available parts help determine whether a repair is reasonable or replacement should be discussed. An inspection is more useful than age alone.
How long will the installation take?
The time depends on the existing setup, access and whether connections or other parts of the installation need changes. Discuss the scope and expected interruption to hot water once the requirements are understood.
