Phoenician Plumbing removes your old water heater in Metropolis, IL carefully — draining the tank, disconnecting all utilities safely, and hauling the unit away. We inspect the installation area for any issues that should be addressed before the new unit is installed.
Our licensed Metropolis plumber installs the new water heater with all code-required components — proper supply line connections, gas or electrical hookup, T&P valve and drain tube, expansion tank if required by local code, and correct venting.

A water heater approaching these conditions often fails unexpectedly — replacement before failure avoids an emergency.
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.
