The water heater replacement cost depends on the following factors:–
- Capacity of Water Heater
- Make and Origin of the Geyser.
- Transparent Access to Install Water Heaters.
We have seen 80-liter water heaters installed in most of Dubai’s apartments and villas. In some places, replacing the water heaters is straightforward without waiting for building management documentation and approvals, and in some places, getting access is a nightmare.
A standard water heater replacement costs around AED 850- AED 1250/—, and my plumber installs a new one without modifying the ceiling.
If your plasterboard ceiling cannot be removed to replace the boiler, you will end up paying around AED 500- AED 1500 for ceiling works before and after replacing the geyser.
Tips for getting the best price on water heater replacement
- Obtain Multiple Quotes: Get estimates from at least three reputable plumbers or water heater installation companies.
- Choose the Right Capacity: Don’t overpay for a larger water heater than your household needs. A plumber can help assess the best size.
- Consider Off-Peak Installation: You may get better pricing by scheduling your installation during a less busy time of year.
- Check for Warranties and Guarantees: Choose a company or water heater brand that offers solid warranties on parts and labor.
