Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Greenville homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Greenville 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 Greenville home.
Most Greenville jurisdictions in SC require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Phoenician Plumbing handles the permit process for Greenville water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
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 Greenville 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.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"They did a great job on short notice. The plumber came out even earlier than expected and spent the entire day fixing the original problems, laying new pipes, and then fixing new leaks when the water was turned on. I wish more companies had this work ethic and attention to detail."
"Water heater was 13 years old and starting to rust. They recommended a replacement before it failed and scheduled installation for the next morning. Smooth process, zero issues, hot water immediately."
"Had a slab leak that three other plumbers could not find. These guys located it in under an hour with their detection equipment and had it repaired the same day. Excellent work, fair price."
