A Better Value for Major Home Projects
Get a second installation estimate before you commit.
Heating and water-heater installation estimates can differ by thousands of dollars. Before accepting another proposal, give Affordable Plumbing the opportunity to provide a competitive written estimate. Our lean overhead helps keep unnecessary costs out of your project without cutting installation standards.
When you hire Affordable Plumbing, you work directly with a Licensed & Insured Master Plumbing Contractor instead of a commissioned salesperson or layers of management. More of your investment goes where it should: quality materials, code-compliant installation and skilled workmanship.
Compare the scope, materials, warranty, experience and total investment before you decide.
Our Scheduling Priority
New heating and water heater installations are still being scheduled.
Call volume has grown beyond what we can reasonably accommodate for every small service request—even with additional help and third-party contractors. That does not mean our installation calendar is closed. Our dedicated installer team continues to review and schedule qualifying boiler, combi boiler, furnace and water heater replacements, subject to project review and availability.

Oil-to-Natural-Gas Conversion Specialists
Complete Oil-to-Natural-Gas Conversions
We handle complete oil-to-natural-gas heating conversions throughout Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties, and across NEPA depending on availability. From natural-gas piping to a new gas boiler or furnace, we can handle the full installation, including removal of the old oil heating equipment and oil tank when included in your written estimate.
We coordinate the project around your gas utility's service and meter schedule, then complete equipment startup and testing. Water-heater conversion or replacement can also be included.
Conversion depends on natural-gas availability, site conditions, equipment requirements and the approved written scope.

Plan Before It Becomes an Emergency
Is it time to replace your water heater?
Many residential water heaters carry a six-year manufacturer tank warranty. Some continue operating well beyond that period, but once a unit reaches approximately six to eight years of age, it makes sense to begin planning—especially when signs of wear are developing.
Rust-colored water, moisture around the base, popping or rumbling sounds, slow recovery, inconsistent temperature and repeated repairs can indicate that the unit is approaching the end of its dependable service life.
Replacing a failing unit before it leaks can reduce property damage and give you time to compare traditional, power-vent, electric, tankless, hybrid and indirect options instead of making a rushed emergency decision.
We evaluate the age, condition, venting, fuel source, hot-water demand and existing piping, then explain whether repair or replacement offers the better long-term value for your home.
Need help deciding?
Send the model label, a full photo of the unit and a brief description of the problem. Qualifying water-heater emergencies are handled during normal business hours whenever scheduling permits.

The homeowner also chose to replace the full water service while the trench was open.

The People We Meet
Jerry is the only plumber I trust and I’ll ever need.
Joyce’s words represent the kind of long-term customer relationship we value: honest recommendations, familiar service and someone she knows she can call when the work truly matters.
— Joyce B., Mayfield, PA
Meet Ellie
A nearly 98-year-old homeowner with the energy and spirit to make the day unforgettable.
When we arrived at Ellie’s Scranton home, she was preparing to move and needed help with a toilet that had been leaking for years. The one-piece American Standard toilet was estimated to be 65–70 years old, extremely heavy and could not simply be lifted out.
We carefully cut out the old fixture, repaired the flange and installed a new comfort-height toilet that was easier and safer for Ellie to use. The old toilet was then carried down a flight of narrow steps. Ellie’s kindness, humor and energy made this one of those service calls we will always remember.
Meet Dolores
91 years young, smart as a whip and always ready with a joke.
Dolores is a 91-year-old customer from Archbald who needed a new water heater during the summer heat. After completing her installation, we offered to get her an air conditioner, but Dolores politely declined—twice! She told us she doesn’t mind the heat and would rather stick with her fans.
Dolores made this one of those service calls we’ll remember for a long time. Before we left, she proudly showed off her Affordable Plumbing NEPA shirt.
— Dolores, Archbald, PA
