Replace your water heater in Portland 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 Portland home.
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 Portland 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 Portland 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.

"Tyson and his team are highly skilled, honest, responsive and reliable. They have helped me with my personal plumbing needs as well as dozens of my clients. I highly recommend them for smallest to the largest plumbing jobs you might have. They are at the top of their game and true pros!"
"My water heater started leaking at 7am and by 2pm I had a new water heater installed. Thank you so much — incredibly fast and professional service!"
"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."
