Replace your water heater in Columbus 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.
Water heater replacement in Columbus 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.
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 Columbus 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.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Columbus by flushing the tank annually to remove sediment, replacing the anode rod every 3 to 5 years, setting the thermostat to 120°F to reduce mineral buildup and tank stress, and inspecting the T&P valve annually. Phoenician Plumbing offers annual water heater maintenance service in Columbus to keep your unit running efficiently.

"Faucet in my kitchen was constantly dripping. The plumber had the right parts on the truck and fixed it in one visit. Explained everything clearly and did not oversell me on anything I did not need."
"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."
