UPGRADE YOUR HOME'S COMFORT
Professional Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Whether your old water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan or you’re looking to upgrade to a more efficient model, professional installation is key to performance and safety. An improperly installed unit can lead to poor efficiency, premature failure, and even dangerous leaks.
The experts at Boston Standard help you select the right water heater for your home’s size and your family’s needs. We’ll handle every aspect of the installation process, from removing your old unit to ensuring the new one is connected flawlessly and compliant with all local codes.
TANK OR TANKLESS? WE CAN HELP
Choosing the Right Water Heater
We specialize in installing both traditional storage-tank water heaters and modern, high-efficiency tankless systems. Traditional tanks are a reliable and familiar option, while tankless models provide endless hot water on demand and can significantly reduce your energy bills. Our technicians will walk you through the pros and cons of each type.
We ensure your new system is sized correctly for optimal performance and efficiency. A properly sized and professionally installed water heater will provide years of reliable service, and we’ll make sure you have the perfect fit for your home and budget.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Proactive Water Heater Maintenance
Regular maintenance is the most effective way to extend the life of your water heater, prevent unexpected breakdowns, and keep it running at peak efficiency. Over time, sediment can build up in the tank, parts can wear out, and minor issues can go unnoticed until they cause a major failure.
Our comprehensive maintenance service is designed to catch these problems early. By scheduling an annual tune-up with Boston Standard, you can save money on your energy bills, avoid costly emergency repairs, and ensure your water heater operates safely and reliably for years to come.
WHAT OUR TUNE-UP INCLUDES
A Comprehensive System Check
During a maintenance visit, our skilled technicians perform a thorough inspection and tune-up of your entire system. This includes flushing the tank to remove damaging sediment, inspecting the anode rod for corrosion, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve for safety, and checking all electrical and gas connections.
This proactive service not only enhances performance but also gives you peace of mind. We’ll provide you with a detailed report of your system’s health and recommend any necessary adjustments or minor repairs to keep it in top condition.

SMART SAVINGS
Improve Energy Efficiency and Lower Your Bills
Your water heater is one of the largest energy consumers in your home, often accounting for nearly 20% of your utility bill. An old, inefficient, or poorly maintained unit has to work harder to heat water, wasting energy and driving up your monthly costs. Our services can directly address these inefficiencies.
Upgrading to a new, high-efficiency model, especially a tankless water heater, can lead to substantial long-term savings. These modern units only heat water when needed, eliminating the standby energy loss associated with traditional tanks. Even a simple repair or routine maintenance can make a significant difference. Flushing sediment from the tank allows heat to transfer more effectively, immediately improving performance.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive about water heaters. If you don’t see your question here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team for assistance.
How long should a water heater last?
A traditional tank-style water heater typically lasts 8-12 years. Tankless models can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching this age range and experiencing issues, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
This depends on the age of the unit, the cost of the repair, and its overall condition. If the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new unit, or if the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually the more cost-effective option.
What are the signs my water heater is failing?
Common warning signs include lukewarm or discolored water, popping or rumbling noises from the tank, visible leaks or moisture around the unit, and a lack of hot water. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call a professional.
What is the benefit of a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, meaning you never run out. They are also more energy-efficient than traditional tanks because they don’t have to constantly keep a large volume of water heated, which can lead to lower utility bills.
How often do I need water heater maintenance?
We recommend having your water heater professionally serviced at least once a year. Annual maintenance, including flushing the tank, helps improve efficiency, extend the unit’s lifespan, and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

We understand that plumbing issues can be confusing, and we’re here to provide clear answers and reliable solutions.
