Water Heater Replacement Costs in Greater Boston

Most water heater replacements we complete fall in this range:

Average: $3,200

Low: $2,300

What Affects the Price?

  • Type of water heater: tank, tankless and heat pump water heaters each cost differently.
  • Efficiency: higher-efficiency equipment lowers monthly bills but usually costs more up front.
  • Fuel type and size: gas or electric, and the size of the unit, both affect the price.
  • Venting and connections: switching types can mean new venting, gas, electrical or water connections.

Your estimate will list exactly what’s included with the option you choose.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater

  • Water leaking from the tank itself
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • Running out of hot water faster than you used to
  • Rumbling or popping sounds that don’t go away
  • A tank water heater that’s more than 10 years old

Water Heaters We Install

  • Tank water heaters: we install Rheem tank water heaters, a reliable, affordable choice for most homes.
  • Tankless water heaters: we install Rinnai gas tankless water heaters for endless hot water in a smaller space.
  • Heat pump water heaters: the most efficient way to heat water, pulling heat from the surrounding air. They work best in basements or utility rooms with enough space around the unit.

Mass Save Rebates for Heat Pump Water Heaters

Mass Save offers a $750 rebate on ENERGY STAR certified heat pump water heaters, and $1,500 on split-system models, for homes replacing an existing electric, propane, natural gas or oil water heater. Rebate amounts are set by Mass Save and can change. See our Mass Save page for more.

Warranty
