How Much Does a Gas Tank Water Heater Replacement Cost in Frisco, TX?
Why Homeowners Ask This Question
When your water heater fails, one of the first questions is: “What will it cost to replace?” In North Dallas, many homes have gas tank water heaters installed in the attic, which makes the job more complex — and often more expensive — than if the unit is in the garage.
GPS Plumbing keeps it simple: flat-rate pricing with no surprises or add-on charges.
Average Cost of Gas Tank Water Heater Replacement
- 40–50 Gallon Gas Tank (Garage): $1,600 – $2,200
- 40–50 Gallon Gas Tank (Attic): $1,900 – $2,700
- 75 Gallon Gas Tank (Garage): $2,800 – $3,200
- 75 Gallon Gas Tank (Attic): Rare install – possible but not recommended (typically exceeds $3,200 due to accessibility and safety requirements)
💡 All pricing includes removal of the old unit, installation of the new tank, gas connections, venting, supply lines, safety pan (if required), and full code compliance.
Why Attic Installations Cost More
- Accessibility: Moving a large tank through attic stairs and narrow openings requires extra manpower and time
- Code Requirements: Attic installs typically require a drain pan, safety switch, and updated venting

Important Note on Other Brands
