Water Heater Services for Realtors
Inspection-day water heater failures should not kill a Charlotte closing. SAFE provides photo quotes, standard packages, and install documentation (model, serial, warranties) agents can share with both sides. We are not a home inspector.
PUBLISHED INSTALLED PRICING
Real installed numbers—not an uninstalled tank.

See 50-gal →From $1,449 + tax
Subject to venting and gas-line conditions.
Gas installation →Expansion tank from $149. Extra piping from $199. Code, attic, leak damage and relocation are approved in writing. We do not promise 24/7 coverage.
Typical requests
Failed inspection (age, T&P, pan, rust), vacant-house cold water, and “replace before listing.” Tell us the closing date; same-day is only when a crew exists.
How to start
Text the property address, access instructions, and the inspection note. We return a written scope that a buyer, seller or attorney can attach.
What we will put in writing
Model/size recommendation, published package or extra-item list, whether a permit is likely, and warranty registration after install. We do not write “as-is heater is fine” opinions that belong to the inspector.
Timing vs closing
A standard closet swap is often 2–4 hours once parts and access are confirmed. Attic, gas venting, and occupied-showings schedules are the usual delays—not the $1,199 headline.
