Common questions about water heater replacement in Washington.
Replace your water heater in Washington 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.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Washington by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually. Phoenician Plumbing offers annual water heater maintenance service in Washington to keep your unit running efficiently.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simpler to install. Tankless units provide endless hot water on demand and typically have lower operating costs, but cost more initially. For most Washington families, a quality tank unit in the correct size is the most cost-effective choice. Our plumbers help you compare the total cost of ownership for your specific situation.
Water heater replacement in Washington typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor.

"They did a great job on short notice. The plumber came out even earlier than expected and spent the entire day fixing the original problems, laying new pipes, and then fixing new leaks when the water was turned on. I wish more companies had this work ethic and attention to detail."
