Answers to frequently asked water heater replacement questions from Wells homeowners.
Replace your water heater in Wells 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.
Most Wells jurisdictions in ME require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance. Phoenician Plumbing handles the permit process for Wells water heater replacements as part of our installation service, so you do not need to navigate the permit office on your own.
For a tank water heater, the right size depends on the number of occupants: 30 to 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 40 to 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 50 to 80 gallons for larger households. For tankless units, the required flow rate in GPM determines the correct unit size. Phoenician Plumbing assesses your household demand and recommends the right unit for your Wells home.
Extend the life of your new water heater in Wells 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 Wells to keep your unit running efficiently.

"Tyson and his team are highly skilled, honest, responsive and reliable. They have helped me with my personal plumbing needs as well as dozens of my clients. I highly recommend them for smallest to the largest plumbing jobs you might have. They are at the top of their game and true pros!"
"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."
"Leak detection for a mysterious wet spot on my ceiling. They traced it to a pinhole leak in a copper elbow two floors up. Repaired the elbow and patched the access hole neatly. Could not even tell they were there."
