Phoenician Plumbing removes your old water heater in Woonsocket, RI carefully — draining the tank, disconnecting all utilities safely, and hauling the unit away. We inspect the installation area for any issues that should be addressed before the new unit is installed.
Our licensed Woonsocket plumber installs the new water heater with all code-required components — proper supply line connections, gas or electrical hookup, T&P valve and drain tube, expansion tank if required by local code, and correct venting.
We fill the tank, start the unit, check for leaks at all connections, and verify the water reaches the correct temperature. We walk you through the controls and any maintenance the manufacturer recommends.
Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Woonsocket homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Woonsocket 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.
Yes. Phoenician Plumbing converts tank water heater systems to tankless in Woonsocket, RI. The conversion requires confirming adequate gas supply capacity or electrical service, installing proper venting for the new unit, and making connection changes. Our plumbers assess your existing infrastructure and advise on what is required for a successful tankless conversion at your Woonsocket home.
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 Woonsocket home.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Woonsocket 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 Woonsocket to keep your unit running efficiently.
