Common questions about water heater replacement in Dartmouth.
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 Dartmouth home.
Most Dartmouth jurisdictions in MA require a permit for water heater replacement to ensure the installation is inspected for code compliance.
