A.O. SMITH | STATE WATER HEATERS

*We are highly trained to service, repair, and install all makes and models of water heaters.

Systems We Service & Install

Gas Water Heaters

Gas heaters offer incredibly fast recovery times, meaning you get more hot water, faster. We ensure proper gas line connections and strictly test all venting systems to prevent hazardous carbon monoxide buildup in your home.

Electric Water Heaters

Highly efficient and versatile, electric water heaters can be safely installed almost anywhere in your property since they don’t require combustion venting. We test and replace faulty heating elements, thermostats, and worn-out anode rods.

Tankless Upgrades

Why pay to heat a giant tank of water 24/7? Tankless systems heat water on demand, providing an endless supply of hot water while lowering your utility bills. Ask us if a space-saving tankless upgrade is right for your family or business.

We Never Cut Corners on Safety.

A water heater is a highly pressurized vessel that handles extreme heat, electricity, and sometimes combustible gas. This is not a DIY project. At Bob Usry & Sons, every water heater replacement is rigorously inspected and installed strictly according to City and State Codes. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured—let the professionals protect your home.

Water Heater FAQs

Straight answers from Norman’s trusted plumbers since 1973.

How long does a water heater last?
A traditional tank water heater usually lasts 8–12 years, while a tankless water heater can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. If yours is over a decade old and needing repairs, replacement is often the smarter investment.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Repair usually makes sense for a newer unit with a single issue like a thermostat, heating element, or valve. If the tank is leaking, more than 10 years old, or failing repeatedly, replacement is typically more cost-effective. We give you an honest recommendation either way.
Tankless or tank — which is better for my home?
Tankless units save space and energy and deliver endless hot water, but cost more upfront. Traditional tanks are cheaper to install and work well for many households. We install and service both and will help you pick the right fit.
What are the signs my water heater is failing?
Watch for not enough hot water, rusty or discolored water, popping or rumbling sounds, water pooling around the base, or a jump in your energy bill. Any of these is worth a call before the unit fails completely.
Do you offer same-day or emergency water heater service?
Yes. A failed water heater can’t wait, so we offer prompt and emergency service across Norman and the OKC metro. Call (405) 364-1001.
How much does a new water heater cost in Norman?
It depends on the type (tank vs. tankless), the capacity you need, and your existing setup. The best way to get an accurate number is a quick call — we’ll walk through your options at (405) 364-1001.
