Your morning routine shouldn’t include surprise cold showers. When your water heater fails, you need it fixed fast and done right the first time.
A properly installed water heater means consistent hot water for your family, lower energy bills, and peace of mind knowing it won’t break down when you need it most. You’ll avoid those middle-of-the-night emergencies and costly water damage that comes with aging systems.
With the right water heater installation, you’re looking at 10-15 years of reliable service, energy savings up to $100 annually with efficient models, and the confidence that comes from working with experienced professionals who stand behind their work.
Emma Plumbing And Drain Services has been solving water heater problems for Quincy residents since 2007. We’ve seen every type of water heater emergency this area throws at homeowners—from systems that quit during February cold snaps to units that flood basements on weekend mornings.
What sets us apart is simple: upfront pricing, 1-year labor warranties, and we actually show up when we say we will. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no excuses.
Quincy’s older housing stock and harsh winters put extra stress on water heating systems. We understand these local challenges and stock our trucks with parts that work reliably in New England conditions.
First, we assess your current setup and hot water needs. We’ll check your electrical, gas lines, and space requirements to recommend the right water heater for your home and budget.
Next, we provide upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying—no hidden fees or surprise charges after the job is done.
Then we handle the complete installation, from removing your old unit to testing the new system. We clean up after ourselves and walk you through operating your new water heater. Your installation comes with a 1-year labor warranty because we stand behind our work.

Your water heater installation includes complete removal of your old unit, professional installation of your new system, and thorough testing to ensure everything works properly. We handle all permits and inspections required in Quincy.
Traditional tank water heaters work well for most families and cost less upfront. Tankless systems save space and energy but require higher initial investment. Heat pump water heaters qualify for Mass Save rebates up to $750, making them more affordable than ever.
Quincy’s older homes often need electrical or gas line upgrades during installation. We’ll identify any needed modifications upfront so there are no surprises. Our trucks carry common upgrade materials to complete most installations the same day.
Most water heater installations in Quincy take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s setup and the type of unit you’re installing. If you’re upgrading from a traditional tank to a tankless system, it might take longer due to venting or electrical modifications.
We arrive with fully stocked trucks, so we can handle most installations the same day. If your home needs electrical or gas line upgrades, we’ll identify these requirements during our initial assessment and provide upfront pricing for any additional work needed.
Emergency installations can often be completed within hours of your call, because we understand that losing hot water isn’t something you can wait days to fix.
Water heater installation costs in Quincy typically range from $1,200 to $4,500, depending on the type of unit and any necessary home modifications. Traditional tank water heaters are less expensive upfront, while tankless and heat pump systems cost more but offer long-term energy savings.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Your quote includes removal of your old unit, complete installation, cleanup, and our 1-year labor warranty.
Heat pump water heaters qualify for Mass Save rebates up to $750, which we help you claim to reduce your total cost. We also offer financing options to make energy-efficient upgrades more affordable for Quincy homeowners.
The choice depends on your household size, space constraints, and long-term goals. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for families with high simultaneous hot water usage, like multiple showers running at once.
Tankless water heaters save space, last 15-20 years (compared to 8-12 for tanks), and can be 8-34% more energy efficient. However, they have higher upfront costs and may struggle with multiple high-demand uses simultaneously.
For Quincy’s older homes with limited space, tankless systems often make sense. We’ll assess your hot water usage patterns, available space, and budget to recommend the best option for your specific situation.
Common signs include inconsistent water temperature, unusual noises like rumbling or banging, rusty or discolored water, visible leaks around the unit, and your system being over 10 years old. If you’re experiencing frequent repairs, replacement often makes more financial sense.
In Quincy’s hard water conditions, sediment buildup accelerates wear on heating elements and tanks. If your water heater takes longer to heat up or you’re running out of hot water faster than usual, these are early warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored.
Age is a key factor—most traditional water heaters last 8-12 years in our area. If yours is approaching this range and showing any problems, replacement will prevent the inconvenience and potential water damage of a complete failure.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater installation throughout Quincy. When your water heater fails completely, we understand you can’t wait days for hot water to return, especially during winter months.
Our emergency service includes same-day installation when possible, with fully stocked trucks carrying the most common water heater sizes and types. We maintain inventory specifically for emergency situations, so we can often complete your installation within hours of your call.
Emergency installations include the same 1-year labor warranty as scheduled work. While emergency service may include additional fees for after-hours work, we provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we begin.

For Quincy’s climate and water conditions, we typically recommend brands with proven reliability in New England. We stock the most popular models in our trucks for faster installation, and we can special-order specific units if you have particular requirements.
