About Our Water Heater Replacement in Bee Cave
Bee Cave is home to some of the most well-appointed properties in the greater Austin area, and the plumbing systems in these homes deserve the same level of care. Cold is on the Right specializes in water heater replacement for both newer construction homes and the growing number of properties that are now 15 to 20 years old and seeing their original equipment start to give out. We carry tank and tankless options from trusted manufacturers, and we help you choose the right unit based on your home's size, usage patterns, and energy goals.
We understand that Bee Cave homeowners aren't looking for a bargain-bin fix — they want a reliable solution installed cleanly and professionally. Our licensed plumbers handle every aspect of the replacement, from disconnecting and hauling away the old unit to making sure your new system is properly sized, permitted where required, and tested before we leave. You get a new water heater and the confidence that it was installed correctly.

Water Heater Replacement Services We Provide in Bee Cave
Traditional Tank Water Heater Replacement
We replace aging 40- and 50-gallon tank water heaters with high-efficiency models from reliable brands. Many Bee Cave homes built in the early 2000s are now on their second or third water heater, and upgrading to a newer unit means better recovery rates and lower energy bills.
Learn MoreTankless Water Heater Installation
Tankless systems are a popular upgrade in Bee Cave's larger custom homes, where demand for hot water is high and garage or utility room space is at a premium. We size and install whole-home tankless units that deliver endless hot water without the standby energy loss of a tank system.
Learn MoreWater Heater Repair vs. Replacement Assessment
Not every failing water heater needs to be replaced — but many do. We assess your unit honestly and tell you whether a repair makes financial sense or whether replacement is the smarter call for your situation. There's no pressure, just straightforward advice based on the age and condition of your equipment.
Learn MoreGas Water Heater Replacement
Many Bee Cave homes run natural gas appliances, and gas water heaters require careful disconnection and reconnection by a licensed plumber. We handle all gas line work safely and in compliance with local code, ensuring your new unit is leak-free and operating efficiently from day one.
Learn MoreElectric Water Heater Replacement
Some Bee Cave properties — particularly those in newer planned communities or homes without natural gas service — rely on electric water heaters. We replace electric units and can help you evaluate whether switching to a heat pump water heater or a gas-fed system makes sense for your home's setup.
Learn MoreWater Heater Sizing and Capacity Upgrade
Growing families and larger homes often outpace the capacity of the original water heater. We help Bee Cave homeowners right-size their replacement unit so there's enough hot water for multiple bathrooms, large soaking tubs, and back-to-back showers without waiting for recovery.
Learn MoreExpansion Tank Installation
Homes in Bee Cave served by closed plumbing systems are required by code to have an expansion tank installed alongside the water heater. We include this assessment in every replacement and install expansion tanks where needed to protect your plumbing system from pressure buildup.
Learn MoreWater Heater Permit and Code Compliance
Water heater replacements in Travis County often require a permit, and work that skips this step can create problems when you sell your home. We handle permitting where required and make sure every installation meets current code — important in a market where home inspections are thorough.
Learn MoreOld Unit Removal and Disposal
We don't leave your old water heater for you to deal with. Our team disconnects, drains, and hauls away the existing unit as part of every replacement job. Your garage or utility room will be clean and ready when we leave.
Learn MoreRecirculation System Installation
Larger Bee Cave homes with long pipe runs can wait 30 seconds or more for hot water to arrive at a distant bathroom. We install hot water recirculation pumps alongside your new water heater to deliver near-instant hot water throughout the home — a worthwhile upgrade in sprawling single-story layouts.
Learn MoreEmergency Water Heater Replacement
A leaking or failed water heater can cause real damage fast. If your unit has failed or is actively leaking, we offer emergency replacement service to get you back up and running without the wait. Bee Cave homeowners can reach us at (512) 271-2172 any time they need urgent help.

We Know Bee Cave Homes
Bee Cave's housing stock skews newer compared to much of Austin, but that doesn't mean plumbing concerns are off the table. Homes built in the late 1990s through the mid-2000s — common throughout the 78738 zip code — are now old enough that original water heaters, PRVs, and supply lines are reaching the end of their service life. The hard water in this part of Travis County accelerates mineral scaling inside tanks and on heating elements, shortening the effective lifespan of water heaters compared to what the manufacturer's warranty might suggest.
Larger custom homes on generous lots near Lake Travis also come with their own considerations: longer pipe runs, multi-zone hot water demand, and in some cases propane rather than natural gas service. We've worked in Bee Cave neighborhoods long enough to know what each of these setups requires and how to match the right replacement system to the home. When you call Cold is on the Right, you get a plumber who already understands the territory.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners
Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.
Services: Faucet repair
Price assessment: Reasonable price
We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.
Services: Drain cleaning
We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help. I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.
Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.
These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!
