Arlington homeowners have specific needs when it comes to water heaters. With Massachusetts energy costs and brutal winters, efficiency matters. We install both traditional tank systems and modern tankless units, depending on what makes sense for your home and budget.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most families. Tankless water heater installation costs more initially but saves money over time through better energy efficiency and longer lifespan. In Arlington’s older homes, we often recommend tankless units because they take up less space and provide endless hot water.
We work with quality brands that perform well in New England conditions. Every installation includes proper venting, safe connections, and testing to ensure optimal performance. You’ll also get guidance on rebates available through Massachusetts programs that help offset installation costs.
Most water heater installations take 4-6 hours for a standard replacement. If you’re switching from tank to tankless or need additional plumbing modifications, it might take a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Emergency water heater installation can often be completed the same day you call, depending on complexity and parts availability. We keep common water heater models in stock specifically for urgent situations.
The timeline also depends on permit requirements and inspections, which we handle for you. We coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your routine.
Tank water heaters store 40-50 gallons of hot water and keep it heated constantly. They’re less expensive upfront but use more energy because they maintain temperature even when you’re not using hot water. Most last 8-12 years with proper maintenance.
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. They’re more expensive initially but can last 15-20 years and use less energy overall. They also save space and provide unlimited hot water, which is great for larger families.
In Arlington’s older homes, tankless systems often make sense because they free up basement or utility room space. The choice depends on your budget, hot water usage patterns, and long-term plans for your home.
Water heater installation typically ranges from $2,000-$4,500 in the Arlington area, depending on the type and complexity. Standard tank replacements are on the lower end, while tankless water heater installation or complex retrofits cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees. The quote includes the unit, labor, permits, and testing. We’ll also explain available rebates through Massachusetts energy programs that can reduce your total cost.
Emergency water heater installation may have additional charges, but we’ll discuss all costs before starting work. Our goal is transparency so you can make informed decisions about your home’s hot water system.
Yes, we provide a 1-year warranty on all labor for water heater installations. This covers our workmanship and ensures you’re protected if any installation-related issues arise. Manufacturer warranties on the units themselves typically range from 6-12 years depending on the model.
We also offer a 7-day warranty on drain cleaning services if that’s needed as part of your installation. Our warranties give you peace of mind that the work is done right and will perform as expected.
If you have any issues covered under warranty, we’ll return promptly to address them at no additional cost. We stand behind our work because we want you completely satisfied with your new water heater.
Yes, we regularly install tankless water heaters in Arlington’s older homes. These installations often require additional considerations like gas line upgrades, electrical modifications, or new venting systems, but they’re definitely possible.
Older homes sometimes have plumbing configurations that actually benefit from tankless systems. We can often free up valuable basement or utility room space while providing better hot water performance than the original tank system.
We’ll assess your home’s specific requirements during our initial evaluation. This includes checking gas supply capacity, electrical systems, and venting options. We’ll explain what modifications are needed and include all costs in your upfront quote.
Turn off the water supply to the unit immediately if you can locate the shut-off valve. For gas units, also turn off the gas supply. Then call us right away – we provide 24/7 emergency service for situations like this.
Don’t wait if you see water pooling around your leaking water heater. Small leaks quickly become major problems that damage floors, walls, or personal belongings. Early action prevents costly water damage and gets your hot water restored faster.
We can often provide same-day emergency water heater installation if your unit can’t be repaired. We keep common replacement models in stock specifically for urgent situations like this. Our emergency service doesn’t cost extra – you shouldn’t be penalized for plumbing emergencies.
