Fast Water Heater Company services all of Tigard, Oregon. If you’ve woken up to the surprise of a leaking water heater or a cold shower, we guarantee same-day service, if you call before noon. Our hours are 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday.
We’re homeowners too and know emergencies don’t conveniently occur just during the week; we’re open most days a week and don’t charge extra for weekend service calls.
We’re the water heater experts, and can service, replace or install electric and gas water heaters, standard tank or tankless models and even install hybrid heat pump systems in certain situations.
All our certified technicians are background-checked and have years of water heater experience before they ever step foot into your Tigard home.
Try to find your water heater model number and serial number before you call so we can identify the age, warranty and any other pertinent information about your existing water heater. (This info can be found on a large sticker usually on the side of the water storage tank.)
In Tigard, and the rest of Oregon, $20 minor permits are required for the installation of a water heater. One in ten of these installations will be inspected for safety, which is included in the price.
You may be wondering, “Do I need a permit to replace my water heater in Tigard?”
The answer is kind of. Oregon operates under a minor label program. This means all small home improvements, such as the installation of a new water heater, require a minor label to be pulled. The cost is only $20, and one-in-ten of these Tigard water heater installations is subject to a random safety inspection.
Every few years, Tigard water heater codes related to water heaters change to incorporate new safety techniques and measures.
We try to keep this information as up-to-date as possible, but your local installer will be able to answer any specific question you may have.
Tigard and the state of Oregon demand by law that any company or individual putting in a water heater must have a minor label permit. Because Fast Water Heater has a great reputation in the eyes of the state, we are allowed to have a permit for plumbing with a label described as minor. This means that, occasionally, the state of Oregon chooses a few houses, which they visit to make sure that everything is safe and secure.
At the moment, we do not need a mechanical permit to work in Tigard. A minor label permit is sufficient. Your safety, however, is our first priority, so you can rest assured that we will check your vents and gas supply thoroughly. If you need to buy any equipment to ensure these systems present no danger, we will not hesitate to tell you. Even though Tigard law states that you do not have to worry about mechanical codes in this case, the state of Oregon does demand that you meet the water heater manufacturer’s standards when it comes to vents and gas supply.
What’s more, despite the fact that the state of Oregon is not currently enforcing the code for plumbers when it comes to water heaters, we will suggest some pieces of equipment that might reduce danger to you, your family and your home. We treat all of our customers with specialized, individual attention, and we are fully aware that every house is different. We will make suggestions based on your particular situation and needs.
Whatever the law demands and whatever advice we decide to give you, we will provide you with a definite quote prior to starting our job. We believe that clear communication is essential to customer satisfaction and business success.
As stated earlier, there is a chance that the state of Oregon might pull your home out of the hat, so to speak, and decide to pay a visit to check on the safety of your water heater. If that happens, they will ask one of their inspectors to get in touch with you to organize a home visit. If the inspector finds anything at all wrong with our work, then please dial our number as soon as you can. We will be at your place in a flash, ready to sort out any issues.

We look forward to helping you. Please keep in mind, while we can quote you a starting price over the phone, we are not able to give a final price until a technician is at your home and can see your unique setup. If you’re happy with the final price, your technician will get to work immediately. But due to this uncertainty, our appointments are no cost and no obligation.

Water heaters are one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, heating and storing hot water for your use. They’re built to last, but if yours starts leaking or stops producing hot water, your water heater may need repairs or service.
Typically, a water heater comes with a warranty anywhere from 5-15 years on parts. For this reason, if you start experiencing issues, you should find the model & serial # of your water heater to find out if it is still under warranty. Our service technicians are local to Tigard and are familiar with most regional heater applications, brands and models.
It’s important to note, if your water heater is more than 10 years old, it’s probably nearing its last legs. Considering the cost of labor, it might be cheaper in the long run to just replace the unit.
