Common questions about water heater replacement in Uxbridge.
Replace your water heater in Uxbridge when it is over 10 to 12 years old, produces rusty or discolored water indicating internal corrosion, leaks from the tank body, requires frequent repairs, or no longer meets your household hot water demand. A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your Uxbridge home.
Water heater replacement in Uxbridge typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor.

"Had a slab leak that three other plumbers could not find. These guys located it in under an hour with their detection equipment and had it repaired the same day. Excellent work, fair price."
"This company is amazing! Called them around 4pm and the next day they were at my house at 8:30am like they said. Helped detect my problem and fix the issue quickly without spending a fortune. They will be my go to plumber from now on."
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
