"Our old water heater finally gave out, I was recommended to boston tank swap by a friend that just went through a leaking tank emergency as well. Dave was polite, clean, and took the time to explain everything without any upselling or pressure. You can tell they actually care about doing things right. The price was fair, and the whole experience was stress-free. Total time without hot water was less than 24 hours. It's nice to find an honest local plumber in Newton who still answers the phone and shows up when they say they will. Highly recommend!"

Do you offer same-day water heater installation in the Boston area?
Yes. Boston Tank Swap specializes in fast water heater replacement across Greater Boston. When your water heater fails, we understand you need hot water restored quickly. We can often offer same-day or next-day service to get your hot water back up and running.
What are the signs my water heater needs to be replaced?
The most common warning signs include rusty or discolored hot water, rumbling or popping noises from the tank, water pooling around the base of the unit, inconsistent water temperature, and a unit that is more than 10 years old. If you notice any of these issues, it is worth having a licensed plumber inspect the system before a small problem turns into a major leak or flood.
Should I switch from a tank water heater to a tankless system?
Tankless water heaters provide continuous hot water on demand, take up far less space, and can last 15 to 20 years compared to 8 to 12 years for a traditional tank. They are an excellent choice for Boston homes with high hot water demand or limited mechanical room space. However, they require adequate gas line sizing and proper venting. Our plumbers evaluate your home to determine whether a tankless upgrade is the right fit.
What water heater brands do you install?
Boston Tank Swap installs top-rated, professional-grade brands including Bradford White, Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, and Rheem. We recommend Bradford White for most standard tank replacements because of their American-made quality and strong warranty coverage. For tankless installations, Navien and Rinnai are our top picks for reliability and energy efficiency.
Do I need a permit for water heater installation in Massachusetts?
Yes. Massachusetts state plumbing code requires a permit for water heater installation and replacement. All work must be performed by a licensed plumber and inspected by the local plumbing inspector. Boston Tank Swap handles the full permit process for you, ensuring your installation meets all Massachusetts code requirements and passes inspection.
What warranty do you provide on water heater installations?
Boston Tank Swap provides a 1-year labor warranty on every installation. The water heater itself carries the manufacturer warranty, which typically ranges from 6 to 12 years depending on the model. We register the warranty on your behalf so you are fully covered from day one.
