Traditional Hot Water Tanks
For decades, hot water tanks have been the reliable workhorse of American plumbing systems—and we’ve installed and serviced thousands of them across the Alle-Kiski Valley. We don’t just “hook up” your new unit; we take a full-system approach to ensure lasting performance and safety.
Our 5-Step Tank Installation Process
- Water Quality Check: We make sure clean water is reaching your new tank. Good water quality protects the tank from sediment buildup and corrosion, improving both efficiency and lifespan.
- Pipe & Connection Inspection: We examine nearby pipes for leaks, corrosion, or electrolysis that could impact performance or cause premature wear.
- System Sizing: We help you choose the right tank size for your household or facility. A tank that’s too small will overwork itself and wear out early, while one that’s too large wastes energy and money.
- Professional Setup: We install the tank with proper venting, electrical or gas connections, and safety provisions—including expansion tanks and pressure regulators where needed.
- Calibration & Testing: Once installed, we set your temperature preferences, confirm pressure regulation, and ensure your system is ready for years of dependable service.
Every installation is backed by decades of plumbing expertise and manufacturer-approved practices to give you complete peace of mind.
Tankless Water Heaters
Looking to save space and enjoy endless hot water? Tankless water heaters provide on-demand heating—delivering hot water instantly whenever you turn on the tap. They’re energy-efficient, compact, and perfect for homes and businesses that use moderate to high volumes of hot water throughout the day.
- Endless, continuous hot water supply
- Energy savings compared to traditional tanks
- Compact design—ideal for smaller spaces
- Longer lifespan (up to 20 years with proper maintenance)
Our team installs and services all leading tankless water heater brands, ensuring your system is properly sized for your property’s plumbing layout and peak demand. Before installation, we evaluate gas or electrical capacity and venting requirements to guarantee safety and efficiency.
Mixing Valves & System Upgrades
In some cases, a full system replacement isn’t necessary. Adding a mixing valve can increase hot water capacity and improve temperature control—especially in homes with high demand or multi-level layouts. These valves also help prevent scalding and optimize performance for both comfort and energy savings.
Common Signs You Need Water Heater Service
- Water temperature fluctuates or runs cold too quickly
- Strange noises such as popping or rumbling from the tank
- Rusty water coming from hot taps
- Leaks or pooling around the base of the unit
- Rising energy bills or reduced water pressure
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to call our experienced team for a quick diagnosis. In many cases, a simple repair or flush can extend the life of your water heater and restore normal operation.

Benefits of Choosing Our Professional Installation
Working with our experts at Shelton Plumbing for your water heater guarantees several benefits. First, we always install quality products in all our clients’ houses. We do not pick any brand we find in the market but choose the best ones that last long.
Our experts also assess your home’s needs and help you to pick a unit that can appropriately serve your needs. Choosing a unit that’s too large leads to energy wastage, and picking one that’s too small will overwork the system, thus shortening its lifespan.
Our experts always double-check the heater’s functionality and installation before leaving your premise. We confirm the wiring, safety measures, temperature settings, and the unit’s ventilation. If you have a multi-story building, we also examine to see if you need a recirculation system to enable those on the top floors to get water as fast as the others below.
Why DIY Installation Is Never a Good Option
Our experts at Shelton Plumbing discourage engaging in DIY installation for the following reasons:
