Emma Plumbing And Drain Services has been serving Canton homeowners since 2007. We started in new construction and now focus on plumbing repairs and service work because that’s where we can make the biggest difference for local families.
Our team understands Canton’s unique challenges. The cold winters, older homes, and tight spaces that make water heater work more complex. We’ve handled installations in cramped basements, dealt with tricky permit requirements, and know exactly what it takes to get your hot water running reliably.

Next, we handle all the permits and paperwork. Canton requires specific permits for gas and plumbing work, and we make sure everything is filed correctly to avoid delays or complications.

We clean up completely and walk you through how your new system works. You’ll have reliable hot water and the warranty paperwork to prove our work is guaranteed.

Water heater replacement in Canton typically ranges from $1,300 to $3,500 depending on the type of system you choose. Traditional tank water heaters are on the lower end, while tankless or heat pump systems cost more upfront but offer better long-term efficiency.
Installation complexity also affects pricing. If your water heater is in a tight basement or crawl space, or if electrical or gas connections need upgrading, that adds to the total cost. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work.
Canton requires permits for water heater installations, with fees ranging from $40 to $65 depending on whether you need both gas and plumbing permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Massachusetts also has strict energy efficiency requirements for new water heater installations. Working with licensed professionals ensures your new system meets all state and local codes. Starting work without proper permits results in double fees, so it’s important to get everything filed correctly from the beginning.
Most water heater replacements take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes removing the old unit, installing the new system, connecting all utilities, and testing everything thoroughly.
Complex installations in tight spaces or situations requiring electrical or gas line upgrades can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment. For emergency replacements, we prioritize getting your hot water restored as quickly as possible while still doing the job right.
Tankless water heaters provide unlimited hot water and use less energy, making them ideal if you have high hot water demand or want to maximize efficiency. They cost more upfront but typically last longer and save money on utility bills.
Traditional tank systems cost less initially and are easier to install in most Canton homes. They work well for average households and are a good choice if upfront cost is your main concern. We’ll assess your hot water usage, available space, and budget to recommend the best option for your specific situation.
Mass Save offers significant rebates for high-efficiency water heater installations, often covering a substantial portion of your upgrade cost. Heat pump water heaters qualify for the largest rebates since they’re the most efficient option available.
Rebate amounts change periodically, so we check current incentives when providing your estimate. We help with all rebate paperwork and ensure your new system meets efficiency requirements to qualify for maximum savings. These programs make upgrading to efficient systems much more affordable for Canton homeowners.
We provide a 1-year labor warranty on all water heater installations, covering any issues with our workmanship. Your new water heater also comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, typically 6-12 years depending on the brand and model.
Our warranty covers installation-related problems, leaks at connections, and any issues that arise from our work. We also offer 7-day warranties on drain cleaning services. If something goes wrong during the warranty period, we return to fix it at no additional charge.
