Replace your water heater in Salem 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 Salem home.
Water heater replacement in Salem typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor.

Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Phoenician Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Had multiple slow drains throughout the house. They ran a snake through each one and cleared everything in a couple of hours. Also diagnosed a venting issue contributing to the problem. Very thorough."
"Called for what I thought was a simple leak detection and they found two separate issues — one behind the wall and one under the slab. Fixed both in the same visit. Professional and thorough throughout."
"We are first-time homeowners and have called on this company several times over the past few years. The team is extremely friendly, professional, and prompt, always doing a great job explaining the issue and how it was resolved. Pricing is very fair. We would not use anyone else."
