Water heater replacement in Braintree typically ranges from $875 to $1,750, depending on the type of unit and complexity of installation. The average cost is around $1,300 for a standard tank replacement.
Tankless systems cost more upfront but can save money long-term through energy efficiency. Heat pump water heaters qualify for Mass Save rebates up to $750, which can significantly reduce your total cost.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before any work begins. Every estimate includes removal of your old unit, professional installation, and our 1-year labor warranty.
The best choice depends on your household’s hot water usage and available space. Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for most Braintree homes with moderate hot water needs.
Tankless systems provide unlimited hot water and save space, but they have higher upfront costs and may struggle to supply multiple fixtures simultaneously. They’re ideal if you have limited space or want maximum energy efficiency.
For homes using more than 86 gallons of hot water daily, tankless systems can be up to 14% more energy efficient. We’ll assess your actual usage during our free consultation to recommend the right option for your situation.
