Replace your water heater in Fort Wayne 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.
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 Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne typically costs $800 to $1,800 for a standard tank unit including the heater and installation labor. Tankless water heater installation costs $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the unit and installation complexity. Phoenician Plumbing provides free replacement estimates so you can make an informed decision about unit type and budget.
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 Fort Wayne home.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Toilet had been running for months and driving up my water bill. The plumber replaced the fill valve and flapper in about 20 minutes and the toilet has been perfectly quiet ever since. Should have called sooner!"
"This company is amazing! Called them around 4pm and the next day they were at my house at 8:30am like they said. Helped detect my problem and fix the issue quickly without spending a fortune. They will be my go to plumber from now on."
"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."
