What Does a Water Heater Warranty Include?
There are typically two types of warranties associated with a water heater installation:
1. Manufacturer Warranty
This covers defects in the water heater unit itself — including issues with the tank, heat exchanger (for tankless units), and key components like the thermostat or heating elements. Coverage depends on the brand and model you choose, but most units include:
6 to 12 years coverage on the tank
5 to 10 years on parts
1 year or more on labor (in some cases)
We work with trusted brands like Rheem, Bradford White, Navien, and Rinnai — all of which offer reliable warranties that protect your equipment.
2. Workmanship Warranty
In addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, All About Plumbing provides our own labor warranty covering the installation. This means if there’s an issue related to how the water heater was installed — from incorrect fittings to faulty connections — we’ll come back and make it right, at no cost to you.
Our standard installation warranty includes:
1-year labor warranty on all new water heater installations
Support with warranty registration for your manufacturer coverage
Assistance with any warranty claims throughout your coverage period
Why Your Warranty Matters
A water heater is a major investment in your home’s comfort and efficiency. A strong warranty helps you:
Avoid surprise repair costs due to manufacturer defects
Feel confident in the quality of your new system
Protect your home from early breakdowns or part failures
Extend the life of your water heater with proper care and support
When installed correctly and maintained regularly, your water heater should last for many years — and your warranty is there to give you added assurance along the way.
Keep Your Warranty Valid
To ensure your warranty stays in effect, it’s important to follow a few key guidelines:
Schedule annual maintenance, especially for tankless systems
Use only licensed professionals for installation and service
Keep a copy of your warranty and service records
Address issues promptly and don’t attempt DIY repairs
All About Plumbing can help with annual checkups and ongoing support to keep your unit running efficiently and within warranty guidelines.
