Water heater installation in Temple Terrace is a job worth scheduling before the old tank fails, not after it soaks the garage floor. Action Air Conditioning, Florida license CAC042730, installs tank and tankless water heaters the way our family has done business since 1988: the price in writing, no hidden fees.
Our shop at 8926 N Armenia Ave in Tampa is just minutes away, so Temple Terrace homeowners are close neighbors, not a far flung service stop.
Should I choose a tank or tankless water heater?
It depends on how your household uses hot water, and we will tell you straight either way. A standard tank costs less to install and suits most families, while a tankless unit saves space and delivers continuous hot water but costs more up front and may need electrical or gas upgrades.
Capacity sizing matters as much as the style. A family of five running back to back showers needs different equipment than a couple in a two bedroom ranch.
When should I replace the water heater in an older Temple Terrace home?
If the tank is 10 to 15 years old, start planning now. Many of the city’s mid century homes still have water heaters tucked into original utility closets and garages, sometimes on electrical circuits that predate modern appliances, and a licensed installation brings all of that up to current standards.
Replacing on your schedule beats replacing after a leak, and it lets you compare options calmly instead of taking whatever is available that day.

Frequently Asked Questions
A standard tank water heater replacement is faster to install than a tankless unit. Tankless installations take longer because they may require electrical panel upgrades or new gas lines, particularly in Temple Terrace's older homes where the original circuits were not sized for modern equipment. We give you a written timeline during the estimate so you can plan your day, and our crews will work through lunch if needed to get you back to hot water rather than leave the job unfinished overnight.
For a written estimate with the installation timeline included, contact us or call (813) 935-6644.
It depends on how many people live there and how you use hot water. A family of five running back to back showers needs different equipment than a couple in a two bedroom ranch. We size tank capacity or tankless flow rate based on your actual household, not a one size fits all chart, because an undersized unit leaves someone in a cold shower and an oversized tank wastes energy heating water you will never use.
We will walk through your home's hot water use and give you straight sizing advice. Contact us for a free estimate.
If the tank is 10 to 15 years old, replace it now on your schedule instead of after it leaks. Repairs make sense for a newer unit with a failed component, but an old water heater with corrosion or sediment buildup is just buying time, and that time usually runs out on a Saturday morning when you have a garage full of water. Replacing before failure lets you compare tank and tankless options calmly instead of taking whatever is available that day.

Yes, but they cost more up front and may need electrical or gas upgrades to deliver the continuous hot water they are known for. A tankless unit saves space in a crowded utility closet and will never soak your floor the way a failed tank does, but the installation is more involved because the unit demands higher amperage or gas flow than a standard tank. We tell you straight during the estimate whether your home's existing infrastructure can support tankless or what upgrades are required.
For a comparison of tank and tankless costs including any needed upgrades, contact us or visit our showroom at 8926 N Armenia Ave in Tampa.
It brings everything up to current Florida code, which matters in Temple Terrace's mid century homes where water heaters are often on electrical circuits that predate modern appliances. We install the unit, connect it to existing plumbing and power, check for proper venting if it is gas, test the pressure relief valve, and verify the temperature setting. Chris Russell, who is a licensed plumbing contractor and mechanical contractor, qualifies every installation personally, and our crews clean up thoroughly when the job is finished.

We give you the price in writing during the free estimate, and it depends on whether you choose a tank or tankless unit, the capacity you need, and whether your home requires electrical or gas upgrades. A standard tank costs less to install and suits most families. Tankless units save space and deliver continuous hot water but cost more because of the infrastructure they require. We do not publish one size fits all pricing because sizing matters, and we would rather give you an honest number after seeing your home than a range that means nothing.
