Water Heater Installation in Katy — Done Right the First Time
Whether your water heater has finally given out or you’re upgrading to a more efficient unit, getting it installed correctly matters as much as choosing the right model. A poorly installed water heater can lead to leaks, early failure, or safety hazards — and in Katy’s hard water environment, the right setup from the start helps your unit perform longer. Ory’s Plumbing Services has been installing water heaters for Katy and West Houston homeowners since 1995, family-owned, Texas licensed (MPL 41229), with over 30 years of combined hands-on experience.
We serve Katy, Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Kelliwood, Fulshear, and surrounding West Houston communities. Upfront pricing. Same or next-day scheduling. No hidden fees.
📞 (281) 829-9828New Water Heater Installation
We install tank-style water heaters sized for your household’s actual hot water demand. Our team evaluates your existing plumbing, gas or electric connections, and available space before recommending a unit — so you get the right capacity for your home, not just what’s in stock.
Gas & Electric Models
We install both gas and electric water heaters and can help you evaluate which fuel source is the better fit based on your home’s existing setup, your usage habits, and your utility costs. Our team is fully licensed for gas line work in Texas.
Expansion Tank Installation
Katy homes on closed plumbing systems — which is most modern homes — are typically required to have a thermal expansion tank installed alongside a new water heater. We handle this as part of the installation so your system is code-compliant from day one.
Proper Permitting & Code Compliance
Water heater installations in Katy require a permit. We handle the paperwork and make sure everything is up to Texas plumbing code — including proper venting, seismic strapping where applicable, and correct connections. You won’t have any surprises at resale time.
Old Unit Removal & Disposal
We remove and dispose of your old water heater as part of the installation process. Our team protects your floors and work area during removal and leaves your utility space clean when the job is done.
Same or Next-Day Installation
When your water heater stops working, waiting days for service isn’t practical. We offer same or next-day installation for most standard water heater jobs throughout Katy and West Houston so your household isn’t without hot water any longer than necessary.

Water Heater Installation FAQs — Katy, TX
How long does a water heater installation take?
Most standard tank water heater installations take two to four hours from start to finish, including removal of the old unit and testing the new one. More complex installations — such as relocating the unit or upgrading gas lines — may take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we schedule.
Do I need a permit to install a water heater in Katy, TX?
Yes, a permit is generally required for water heater installations in Katy and Harris County. We handle the permit process as part of our service, so you don’t have to navigate it yourself. Permitted work protects you at inspection time and when you sell your home.
What size water heater do I need for my home?
The right size depends on the number of people in your household, your peak hot water usage, and the type of unit you choose. We assess your home’s needs during the inspection and walk you through options that fit your usage and budget — we won’t just upsell you on the largest unit available.
How does Katy’s hard water affect a new water heater?
Katy and the greater Houston area are known for hard water with high mineral content. Over time, mineral scale builds up inside a tank and on heating elements, reducing efficiency and shortening the unit’s service life. We can discuss options like anode rod maintenance and water softening systems that may help slow scale buildup.
Can you install a water heater the same day I call?
In many cases, yes — we offer same or next-day installation for most standard water heater jobs in the Katy area. Availability depends on the type of unit and scheduling, but we move quickly because we know being without hot water isn’t something you want to deal with for long.
If you need a new water heater installed in Katy or the surrounding West Houston area, Ory’s Plumbing is ready to help. We’ll walk you through your options, provide a clear upfront estimate, and get to work as soon as you give the go-ahead — no pressure, no surprises.
