Moore, Oklahoma
If you are planning water heater replacement in Moore, the age of your house tells us a lot about what we will find. Tanks put in during the rebuilding after the 1999 and 2013 tornadoes are coming due now, and boom-era homes from the 1970s may be on their third or fourth heater, often in a closet that was sized for a smaller tank. We plan for both.

(405) 309-1873Moore's housing was built in bursts, and water heaters wear out on the same schedule. Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 count about 4,800 Moore homes built from 2000 to 2009 and about 4,300 more from 2010 to 2019. Those decades followed two disasters: the May 3, 1999 tornado, which the Oklahoma Historical Society says damaged over 3,000 Moore homes, and the May 20, 2013 storm that NWS Norman found had dealt EF4 or EF5 damage to more than 300. A tank installed in a 2014 rebuild has now been heating water for more than a decade. A home built in the early 2000s may already be on its second.
The older half of town is on a different clock. Houses from 1960 through 1989 account for roughly half of Moore. Those houses have been through several water heaters already, and each swap may have left behind something we have to correct: a flue pipe that no longer fits well, a gas connector that should have been replaced, or a relief valve line that was never run to a safe spot.
Water Heater Replacement in Moore, any hour
Call now. We cover Moore 24/7, weekends and holidays included.
A lot of tanks fail in January, when the incoming water is coldest and the heater runs hardest. A winter water heater replacement has a few extra steps. We make sure the gas supply and venting are sound before relighting in a cold garage, protect any new supply lines that run along an outside wall, and confirm the new heater can keep up with icy incoming water. If you are without hot water during a cold snap, we prioritize getting a working heater in place first.

Local, licensed and insured
Licensed
A water heater replacement touches gas piping, venting, electrical and the relief valve, so it needs to be done by a licensed plumber. Our plumbers do state-licensed work, and the company is fully licensed and insured. If the City of Moore wants a permit for your installation, we file it and are on site for the inspection, so the new heater is on record and you are not surprised by questions when you sell.
40+ yrs
With more than 40 years in the trade, we know that the heater that came with a house is not always the right one for the family living there now. We ask how many people shower in the morning, whether you have a large tub, and how far the far bathroom is from the tank. Then we size the new heater to match, gas or electric, tank or tankless.
24/7
When a tank fails, you want hot water back, not a week of cold showers. Call any hour. For common tank sizes, a same-day swap in Moore is often possible. Customers rate us 4.9 stars across 88 Google reviews, and financing is available if the replacement comes at a bad time, which with water heaters it usually does. We haul the old tank away when we leave.

These guys were great! A breath of fresh air from the usual contractor/service. They cared about fixing the problem not how much they can charge. I had a same day service need, leak in between floors, the day before a trip. They came out same day and presented multiple solutions as well as keen explanations.
Mr. Robert has amazing customer service and work ethic. He fixed our toilet very quickly and explained everything that he was doing, and even showed us the finished product. Awesome work!
After having issues with my bathroom and kitchen plumbing for a few days, I contacted Plumber Oklahoma City, OK Plumbing & Repair this morning. He told me he was very busy, but would work to schedule our repair in with his team.
Straight answers
Water heater work usually involves gas, venting or electrical connections that cities inspect, and Moore handles permits and inspections through its Building Permits and Inspections division. State law reserves plumbing work for plumbers licensed by Oklahoma. Before we start, we find out whether your swap needs a permit, file it if so, and book the inspection.
If it is the original heater from the rebuild, it has been running for more than a decade, and that is the age when we start seeing leaks at the base, failed relief valves and heavy sediment. It is worth having it checked, and planning a replacement on your schedule is much easier than doing it after the tank lets go.
Sometimes not without changes. Newer high-efficiency tanks are often wider or taller than the tank they replace, and closets in older Moore homes were built around smaller heaters. We measure before we order, check clearances and venting, and tell you up front whether a different model, a tankless unit or a small framing change is the better fit.
