Since 2007, we at Emma Plumbing And Drain Services have been the plumbing company Woburn residents call when they need the job done right. We’ve handled every type of water heater problem in homes across the area, from the historic neighborhoods near Horn Pond to the newer developments.
We know Woburn’s unique water conditions, the challenges that come with older homes built in the 1970s, and what it takes to get your hot water back fast. Our team understands that a water heater replacement isn’t just about the equipment—it’s about restoring comfort to your daily routine.
That’s why we focus on upfront, transparent pricing and customer satisfaction over quick sales. When you work with us, you’re working with a local team that’s invested in this community and committed to doing right by our neighbors.
First, we assess your current system and your home’s hot water needs. We’ll walk through your space, check your existing connections, and discuss what size and type of water heater makes the most sense for your household and budget.
Next, we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work. We’ll also handle any necessary permits and ensure everything meets local codes.
On installation day, we arrive on time with all the equipment needed. We safely remove your old unit, install your new water heater with proper connections and safety measures, and test everything thoroughly. Before we leave, we’ll walk you through your new system and answer any questions you have.
Ready to get started?
Every water heater replacement includes professional installation, proper disposal of your old unit, and thorough testing to ensure everything works perfectly. We work with both traditional tank systems and modern tankless units, helping you choose what’s right for your home and budget.
For Woburn homeowners, we understand the importance of energy efficiency given Massachusetts’ utility costs. We’ll help you explore options that could qualify for Mass Save rebates and financing, potentially saving you hundreds on your new system.
Our service also includes a comprehensive 1-year labor warranty and our commitment to 24/7 emergency availability. If something goes wrong after installation, we’re here to make it right. Plus, every new customer receives a free main sewer line camera inspection—because we believe in taking care of your entire plumbing system, not just the immediate problem.
Water heater replacement in Woburn typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,500, depending on the type and size of unit you choose. A standard 40-50 gallon tank system usually falls on the lower end, while high-efficiency tankless or heat pump systems cost more upfront but offer better long-term energy savings.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. The final cost depends on factors like your home’s existing connections, the type of water heater you select, and whether any additional plumbing work is needed. We’ll walk through all options and costs during your consultation, with no pressure or surprise fees.
Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours when we’re swapping a similar unit in the same location. If you’re upgrading from a tank to tankless system or need additional plumbing work, it might take a full day.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine and always clean up completely when we’re done. Our team arrives with all necessary equipment and handles permit requirements, so you don’t have to worry about the details. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
For most Woburn households, a 40-50 gallon tank works well for 2-4 people, while larger families often need 60-80 gallon systems. Tankless units are sized differently, based on how many fixtures you might use simultaneously rather than storage capacity.
We calculate the right size based on your household size, hot water usage patterns, and peak demand times. During our consultation, we’ll ask about your family’s routines—like morning showers, dishwasher use, and laundry habits—to ensure your new system can handle your actual needs without running short or wasting energy on excess capacity.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service for water heater failures throughout Woburn. We understand that losing hot water, especially during Massachusetts winters, creates an urgent situation for your family’s comfort and daily routines.
When you call for emergency service, we’ll assess whether your system can be temporarily repaired or needs immediate replacement. If replacement is necessary, we keep common water heater models in stock and can often complete emergency installations the same day. Our emergency service includes the same upfront pricing and quality workmanship as scheduled appointments.
We install all major types of water heaters: traditional gas and electric tank systems, tankless units, and high-efficiency heat pump models. Each type has advantages depending on your home’s setup, energy priorities, and budget.
Tank systems are typically less expensive upfront and work well for most homes. Tankless units save space and provide endless hot water but cost more to install. Heat pump water heaters offer excellent efficiency and may qualify for Mass Save rebates, though they need adequate space for proper operation. We’ll help you understand the pros and cons of each option for your specific situation.
Absolutely. Every water heater installation includes our 1-year labor warranty, which covers any issues related to our installation work. The water heater itself comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and model but typically ranges from 6-12 years.
If anything goes wrong with our installation work within the first year, we’ll return to fix it at no charge. We also offer ongoing maintenance services and are available 24/7 for emergency repairs. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with both the installation process and long-term performance of your new water heater system.
