Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Salem homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Salem 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 Salem home.
Most Salem jurisdictions in OR require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Phoenician Plumbing handles the permit process for Salem water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
Yes. Phoenician Plumbing converts tank water heater systems to tankless in Salem, OR.
