Dependable Water Heaters For Andover Properties
A failing water heater can show up as lukewarm showers, rusty-looking hot water, or a small puddle forming around the base of the tank. In some cases, the unit stops working completely. For homes and businesses in Andover, these issues are not only inconvenient, they can risk damage to finished basements, storage areas, or equipment if leaks are ignored.
We install and replace water heaters for both residential and light commercial properties in this area. We adjust our recommendations for venting, capacity, and access accordingly. When a tank is located in a tight basement stairwell or utility closet, we plan the work carefully so removal and installation are handled safely.

Common Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Water Heater
It is easy to forget about your water heater until it stops working entirely, but your system usually gives off several warnings before it fails. Catching these signs early can save you from a cold morning and a messy cleanup. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to look into a new unit:
- The age of your tank is over 10 years, which is the typical lifespan for standard models.
- Rusty or discolored water coming specifically from the hot water taps.
- Rumbling, popping, or banging noises caused by hardened sediment at the bottom of the tank.
- Water pooling around the base of the unit or visible corrosion on the fittings.
- Running out of hot water much faster than you used to during normal use.
- Frequent repairs that are becoming more expensive than the cost of a new system.
Paying attention to these indicators helps you plan for a replacement on your own terms rather than during an emergency. Modern units are significantly more efficient than those made just a decade ago, meaning a new installation can actually help lower your monthly utility costs. Our team can help evaluate your current setup and determine if a repair or a full upgrade is the best choice for your property.
Our Installation Process
Knowing what to expect during a water heater project can make the situation feel much more manageable. When you contact Morris Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, our office staff gathers basic information about your current unit, such as fuel type, approximate age, and any visible issues. For Andover properties, we also ask about the location of the heater, such as a basement, garage, or utility room, so our technicians arrive prepared.
We schedule a visit at a time that works with your routine. Our technicians arrive on time, inspect the existing setup, and review your hot water needs, including household size and usage patterns. We then discuss options for a new unit, explain the pros and cons of different choices, and provide a clear, written estimate for installation. Estimates for installations are free, and we can discuss available financing options and any current seasonal specials that might apply.
On installation day, our team protects floors and nearby surfaces, then shuts off the water, power, and fuel supply to the old heater. The old unit is disconnected and removed from the property in a controlled way, which is particularly important for older basements or tight stairways. The new water heater is set in place, connected to the plumbing, electrical, and venting systems as appropriate, and brought up to operating temperature.
We test the new installation for proper operation and check for any leaks or issues at connections. Before we leave, we walk you through basic operation, review any maintenance steps you should know, and answer questions about warranty information. Our technicians clean up the work area so your space is left in order. For customers who want additional peace of mind, we can enroll your water heater in one of our preventative maintenance plans, which are designed to support performance and help catch issues early.
Water Heater Options
Choosing a new water heater involves balancing upfront cost, long term energy use, and the way your household or business uses hot water. Our team helps you understand these factors so you can select equipment that fits your priorities. We work with trusted brands that are known for performance and longevity, and we match equipment type and size to your property.
Traditional tank-style water heaters remain a practical choice for many homes. They are available in a range of capacities, and modern high efficiency models can reduce energy use compared to older units. For some properties, tankless water heaters can offer advantages, such as steady hot water supply and space savings, particularly where there is a suitable gas line and venting arrangement.
Household size, the number of bathrooms, laundry habits, and how many fixtures may run at once all play a role in picking the right system. In a smaller home, a compact tank might be appropriate, while a larger family or a property with multiple full bathrooms might benefit from a higher capacity tank or a thoughtfully designed tankless setup. We bring this information together with your budget and your long term plans for the property.
Our technicians receive ongoing training on new models, evolving efficiency standards, and current plumbing codes. This helps us explain new features and requirements clearly, such as improved insulation, safety valves, and venting guidelines. We review pricing and installation details before work begins, and we can talk through financing options that may make it easier to move forward with the right water heater for your home or business.
