Water Heater Replacement in New Haven: what is different here
New Haven replacements often happen in early-1900s houses in East Rock, Wooster Square and Fair Haven, with steep basement stairs and stone or brick walls. We plan the route out for the old tank and check the chimney or vent, which is often the trickiest part.

New Haven questions
We measure stairs, doorways and turns before the visit, and drain the old tank so it is lighter to remove. If a standard tank will not fit the path, a slimmer model or a wall-mounted tankless unit may work better. We plan this at the $80 estimate.
Like-for-like tank swap usually takes about 3 to 5 hours, and upsizing or moving the tank takes most of a day. New Haven is about 40 minutes from our shop, so the drive adds little to your visit. We confirm the time with you when you book.
We drain it, disconnect it and remove it from your home as part of the job. Old tanks are heavy and often full of sediment, so carrying one up a basement stairway is not a job most homeowners want. You do not need to arrange separate disposal.
