Water Heater Installation & Replacement in Gretna, NE

Spotlight: We install Bradford White

Bradford White is our go-to water heater brand. It's a professional-grade, contractor-trusted unit, not the builder-grade models sold at big-box stores, built to last in our hard-water market. We size it to your household's real hot-water demand and install it right. Prefer another quality brand? We'll install it on request.

Omaha's hard water is the #1 reason tanks fail early, sediment and scale build up and shorten their life. We recommend an annual flush, and for homes on well or very hard water we'll talk through pairing the new heater with a softener so it lasts its full lifespan. Call the Omaha line at (402) 933-3690.

Signs It's Time for a New Water Heater

Tank Is Leaking From the Body

Tanks can't be patched. Replacement is the fix before it floods your space.

Unit Is Over 10–12 Years Old

Once repair costs approach half of replacement, a new unit is the smarter money.

Rusty or Rotten-Egg Smelling Water

That flushing won't fix usually means the tank is failing internally.

Can't Keep Up With Demand

Running out of hot water often? It may be time for a properly-sized replacement.

Request Service

What size and type do you need? We'll help

  • 40 gallon: smaller households (1–3 people)
  • 50 gallon: most homes (3–5 people)
  • 75 gallon / tankless: large households or high simultaneous demand
  • Gas vs. electric: depends on your existing hookups and recovery needs
  • Hybrid: highest efficiency if you have the space and want lower bills

We size to your actual usage so you're never short on hot water or overpaying to heat water you don't use.

What our customers say

Our water heater completely went out and they came out same day and had it replaced in no time. Would highly recommend.

Antona B.

Excellent service and honest pricing. My old water heater had a sketchy install from decades ago, JTM gave me a reasonable price and installed the new one in record time.
