Water Heater Installation
Your water heater is a quiet workhorse, right up until it isn't. Williams Energy installs gas, oil, electric, and tankless water heaters across the South Shore, with a free estimate to get the hot water flowing again.
Water heater installation is one of those jobs you do not think about until the hot water is gone, and then it is the only thing you think about. Whether you are replacing a tank that has given out or upgrading to a tankless system, Williams Energy sells, installs, maintains, and repairs a range of quality water heaters across our South Shore service area. Gas-fired, oil-fired, or electric, you can count on us to keep the hot water flowing.
Sell, Install, Maintain, Repair
We handle the whole life of your water heater, not just the day it goes in. Our trained service technicians help you choose the right unit for your home and hot water needs, install it professionally, and keep it running afterward, no matter the fuel source.
Because we also do full plumbing, we are a true one-stop shop for the job. And our service plans can cover your water heater too, so a worn part does not turn into a cold-shower morning.
Should I Replace My Water Heater?
A conventional tank water heater lasts, on average, between 8 and 12 years. When yours reaches that range, or if it is already older, it is time to start planning an upgrade rather than waiting for the day it quits.
The trouble with waiting is that a failed water heater rarely fails politely. A tank can start leaking and turn into a wet basement, which is a far worse morning than a planned replacement. If yours is showing its age, with rusty water, leaks, strange noises, or not enough hot water to go around, let us help you plan ahead. And if a tank does let go, our emergency plumbing team can step in fast.
Should I Go Tankless?
If you have not looked at tankless water heaters lately, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Instead of keeping a full tank hot around the clock, a tankless unit heats water only when you turn on the tap, so you are not paying to reheat water you are not using.
Tank Water Heater
Stores and keeps a tank of hot water ready at all times. Lower up-front cost and a simple, proven design, with a typical life of 8 to 12 years.
Tankless Water Heater
Heats water only as you use it, which can save up to 40% on your water heating energy costs. It lasts longer, takes up a much smaller footprint, and frees space wherever your old tank sat.
Going tankless is usually an easy changeout, since you do not need to replace your other domestic water piping. High-efficiency models may also qualify for rebates, and we help you claim them. Like any system, a tankless unit should be maintained per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Every Fuel, Every Home
Whatever your home runs on, we have a water heater for it, and we install them all.
Switching fuels at the same time? A new water heater often fits naturally into a natural gas conversion, so it can make sense to handle both at once.
Your One-Stop Shop for Hot Water
Because we install the unit, run the plumbing, and service it afterward, you only deal with one company for the whole job. It fits right alongside our full plumbing services, part of the home services Williams Energy has provided since 1919.
Here is why neighbors choose Williams, or contact us to plan your water heater upgrade.

Water Heater Questions, Answered
How long does a water heater last?
A conventional tank water heater lasts about 8 to 12 years on average. Once yours reaches that range, it is smart to plan a replacement rather than wait for it to fail, since a failed tank can leak and cause water damage.
Should I go tankless?
Tankless is worth considering. It heats water only when you use it, which can save up to 40% on water heating energy, lasts longer than a tank, and takes up far less space. We help you weigh it against a tank based on your home and hot water habits.
Do you install gas, oil, and electric water heaters?
Yes, all of them, plus tankless models. Whatever fuel your home uses, our trained technicians install, maintain, and repair the right water heater for it.
What are the signs I need a new water heater?
Watch for age beyond 8 to 12 years, rusty or discolored hot water, leaks or moisture around the tank, popping or rumbling noises, and not having enough hot water to get through the day. Any of these is a reason to have it checked.
Is switching to tankless a big job?
Usually not. Going tankless is generally a straightforward changeout because you do not need to replace your other domestic water piping, and the smaller unit actually frees up space where your old tank used to sit.
Do you offer water heater service plans?
Yes. Our service plans can cover your water heater along with your heating and cooling equipment, which keeps it maintained and helps with the cost of covered repairs.
