When the Tank Has Given You All It Has
Rust in the hot water, a puddle spreading from the base, or a unit past its fifteenth birthday all say the same thing. Hendriks Plumbing provides Water Heater Replacement and Installation in Worcester, MA, and surrounding areas, removing the old unit, hauling it away, and setting a properly sized replacement with code compliant connections. We install both gas and electric tanks, and we can walk you through tankless options if the timing makes sense.
Call Hendriks Plumbing at (508) 341-9620 to replace your water heater. We often complete replacements the same day you call.
Getting the Size and Type Right
Bigger is not automatically better. An oversized tank keeps extra water hot around the clock for nothing, while an undersized one leaves the last person in line with a cold rinse. We look at how many people live there, how many bathrooms draw at once, and what your current unit does well or poorly before recommending a capacity and fuel type.
What a Proper Replacement Includes
The install is where a water heater is made reliable or made a future problem. Every replacement covers:
- Draining, disconnecting, and hauling away the old tank
- Setting the new tank level with proper clearance for service
- Connecting water lines with unions so future work is straightforward
- Installing a new temperature and pressure relief valve and discharge pipe
- Verifying gas connections and venting, or electrical supply on electric units
- Filling, purging the air, and testing operation before we leave
We also add an expansion tank where the system requires one and a drain pan where a leak would land somewhere expensive. Those two details are easy for an installer to skip and expensive for a homeowner to add later.

Replace It on Your Terms
A planned replacement happens on a weekday at a price you agreed to. An emergency replacement happens on a Sunday night with water spreading across the floor. The first one is considerably better.
