Warranty management: most standard warranties cover 6 years, but we can extend that with our pro-grade models.
Fast turnaround: same-day or next-day installs available in most areas.
We handle city permits and inspections — you don’t lift a finger.
We’re fully licensed in Indiana (CO52500055) for gas and plumbing work.
And unlike big-box “installers,” we actually care about your setup being right, not just done.
🏠 Customer-Provided Water Heater Installations
Bought your own water heater? Great! You saved a few bucks — now let us handle the heavy lifting (literally).
We install water heaters from:
Home Depot (Rheem, A.O. Smith, GE, etc.)
Lowe’s (Whirlpool, Reliance, American Standard)
Menards (Richmond, Westinghouse, and more)
Important: Box-store heaters come with standard warranties (typically 6 years). But the catch? You’re responsible for labor if something goes wrong.
When you buy through ExpertPipe Indy, we handle everything — warranty registration, labor coverage, and even future service calls.
🛠️ Professional-Grade Brands: Bradford White & American Standard
We proudly recommend Bradford White and American Standard because they’re built for long-term performance and come with industry-best warranties.
Most heaters come standard with a 6-year warranty, but we can upgrade yours to 8-, 10-, or even 12-year protection, depending on the model.
It’s the kind of warranty that actually means something — not just fine print.
Benefits of professional-grade installations:
Longer lifespan and reliability
Higher energy efficiency (lower bills)
Easier future maintenance
Full coverage handled by your licensed plumber (us!)
When you choose our supplied systems, you get peace of mind — and a water heater that’s installed to last.

🙋♂️ Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heater Installations
Q: Can I install a water heater myself?
Technically yes — if you enjoy risk, confusion, and possibly flooding your basement. But for gas, venting, and code compliance, it’s always best to hire a licensed plumber.
DIY installs often void warranties and can lead to leaks, carbon monoxide hazards, or code violations that cost more later.
Our licensed experts ensure everything is connected safely, vented properly, and built to last.
Q: How long does installation take?
A standard tank water heater install usually takes 2–3 hours.
Tankless systems can take 4–6 hours, depending on venting and gas line work.
We offer same-day or next-day installation in Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Meridian Hills, and Indianapolis, so you’re never waiting long for hot water.
Q: What size water heater do I need?
Most households use:
40–50 gallons for 2–4 people
66–80 gallons for 5+ people
Tankless systems are sized by flow rate (GPM) and usage (showers, laundry, etc.).
We’ll calculate your home’s exact needs to ensure you never run out — even when everyone decides to shower at the same time.
Q: Are Bradford White and American Standard really better than box-store brands?
Yes — and here’s why:
Professional-grade water heaters use higher-quality components, thicker insulation, and better glass lining inside the tank.
They’re built for licensed installer networks, not just retail sales.
Plus, if there’s ever an issue, we handle the warranty directly — no 1-800 numbers or runaround.
Box-store models are fine, but they’re often “builder grade.” We’ll install them safely and still give you expert recommendations to extend their lifespan.
Q: Can I extend the warranty on my new heater?
Absolutely! Most water heaters come with a 6-year tank and parts warranty, but we can extend that to 8, 10, or 12 years with upgraded models or extended service plans.
Extended coverage is perfect if you plan to stay in your home long-term and want peace of mind for a decade or more.
Q: What’s included in the price?
Our installation pricing includes:
Removal and disposal of your old heater
New flex water lines
Gas or electrical hookup
Pressure testing
Permitting (where required)
Warranty registration
Cleanup and haul-away
We don’t sneak in hidden fees — and we never leave you guessing.
Q: Do you install tankless systems too?
Yes! We install, service, and descale tankless water heaters from Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, Rheem, and Bosch.
Tankless units are perfect if you want endless hot water and better energy efficiency — but they require expert installation. We handle gas line sizing, venting, and water softener integration for optimal performance.
