Complete Water Heater Installation Walpole

What's Included in Your Installation
Every water heater installation from Emma Plumbing includes professional removal of your old unit, proper disposal, and complete installation of your new system. Our service covers all necessary connections, code compliance checks, and system testing. Walpole homeowners benefit from Massachusetts rebate programs that can significantly reduce installation costs. Mass Save offers up to $750 instant rebates on qualifying heat pump water heaters, plus federal tax credits equal to 30% of installation costs up to $2,000 annually. We handle the permit process when required and ensure your installation meets all local Walpole building codes. Our team works with tankless water heaters, traditional tank systems, and high-efficiency models, helping you choose the right option for your home’s hot water demands and energy efficiency goals.

How long does water heater installation take in Walpole?

Most water heater installations in Walpole take 2-3 hours when replacing a similar model. The process involves about 45-60 minutes to drain and remove your old water heater, then 1-2 hours to install and test the new system. Installation time can vary based on your specific situation. If you’re switching from electric to gas or upgrading to a tankless system, additional work on gas lines or electrical connections may extend the timeline to 4-6 hours. We provide accurate time estimates during the initial assessment, so you know what to expect. Our team works efficiently while ensuring every connection is properly installed and tested for your safety and peace of mind.
Water heater size depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. A 40-gallon tank typically serves 1-2 people with low usage, while a 50-gallon tank works for families of 3-4 people with moderate usage. For larger families or homes with high hot water demand, you might need a 75-80 gallon tank or consider a tankless system that provides unlimited hot water on demand. Tankless units are sized by gallons per minute (GPM) rather than storage capacity. We evaluate your specific needs during the consultation, considering factors like the number of bathrooms, frequency of simultaneous hot water use, and your family’s daily routines to recommend the optimal size for consistent hot water supply.
Tankless water heaters offer unlimited hot water and can reduce energy usage by 24-34% compared to traditional tank systems. They last up to 20 years with proper maintenance and take up much less space in your home. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to install, especially when replacing an existing tank system. They’re ideal if your household uses large amounts of hot water simultaneously, like running multiple showers and appliances at once. We help you weigh the pros and cons based on your budget, hot water usage patterns, and long-term energy savings goals. Our team can calculate potential utility bill savings to help you make the best decision for your Walpole home.
Water heater installation in the Boston area typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,500, with an average cost around $2,850. Basic tank models start around $1,200 with installation, while tankless units average around $2,800. Installation costs depend on the type of water heater, size requirements, and any necessary modifications to existing plumbing or electrical systems. Switching fuel types (electric to gas or vice versa) can add $1,500-$2,300 to the project. We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Massachusetts residents can take advantage of Mass Save rebates up to $750 and federal tax credits up to $2,000 to reduce overall installation costs significantly.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency water heater installation throughout Walpole.

Emergency installation follows the same quality standards as scheduled work, with proper permits, code compliance, and system testing. Our team carries common water heater sizes and can often complete emergency installations the same day you call. Our emergency service includes temporary solutions if needed while arranging for permanent installation. The 1-year labor warranty applies to all installations, whether emergency or scheduled, giving you confidence in the quality of work even under urgent circumstances.
We provide a 1-year labor warranty on all water heater installations, covering the workmanship and installation quality. This warranty ensures that if any installation-related issues arise, we’ll return to fix the problem at no additional charge. The water heater unit itself comes with a manufacturer warranty that varies by brand and model, typically ranging from 6-12 years. We help you understand both warranties and register your new water heater with the manufacturer when required. Additionally, we offer a 7-day warranty on drain cleaning services and provide ongoing maintenance support to help extend your water heater’s lifespan. Our commitment to customer satisfaction means we stand behind our work long after installation is complete.
