Common Questions

Water Heater Questions

Can you replace my water heater the same day I call?

In most cases, yes. We stock common 40 and 50-gallon tank units and carry installation materials on our trucks. Call 518-416-3356 early in the day to maximize same-day availability. Tankless installations may require a brief parts lead time depending on the model.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

For units under 8–10 years old with a minor issue (failed element, thermostat), repair is often the right call. For units over 10–12 years old, with tank leaks, rust, or repair costs approaching 50% of replacement value, replacement is usually smarter. ALJ will give you both options with honest numbers.

Do you remove and dispose of the old water heater?

Yes — proper disposal of your old unit is included in every ALJ water heater replacement. We drain it, disconnect it, remove it from your home, and dispose of it properly. All work is permitted and code-compliant.
