How to Add Water Heater + Whole-Home Repipe Service to Your Plumbing Business (2026 Guide)
Honest playbook for established plumbing service shops ready to shift the revenue mix toward high-ticket water heater installs ($1,500-$8,000 typical) and whole-home repipes ($4,000-$15,000+). The federal 25C credit died Dec 31, 2025 - but EPA's LCRI lead-pipe replacement mandate (compliance Nov 1, 2027) creates a multi-year repipe tailwind, and state HPWH rebates ($750 MA / $2,250 CO / $1,750+ WA) are stronger than the federal credit ever was.
