About Water Heater Dude
One truck. One service. One honest price. 12 years and 9,400+ installs later, that is still the whole business model.
How we started
Water Heater Dude started in Atlanta with a simple idea: match homeowners who need a water heater replaced with a vetted, licensed local pro who quotes a fixed, honest price in writing, pulls the permit, and stands behind the work. 12 years and 9,400+ jobs matched later, that is still the whole business model.
We do one thing — water heater replacement and installation — across Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, St. Petersburg, and nearby communities. Keeping the scope narrow is deliberate: partner pros who install heaters every single day, and prices they put in writing before anyone touches a wrench.
Licensed & insured partners
Every pro in our network is a licensed plumber with liability and workers' comp coverage — verified against the state license board and with a COI on file before they ever receive a dispatch.
Flat-rate quoting
On-site assessment, written flat-rate price, your approval before we start. If you don't approve, you owe nothing for the visit.
Permits handled
Your pro files same-day, installs to code, and meets the inspector. A permitted install never costs you extra — it's in the flat rate.
