Your water heater is going to fail eventually. The question is whether it happens when you’re prepared or at 6am on a Saturday in February. I’m Romuald with RL Plumbing and I’ve replaced hundreds of water heaters in Wellesley, MA. If yours is acting up or you just want to know how much life it has left give me a call.
I’m Romuald Likowski and I’ve been installing and repairing water heaters in Wellesley, MA homes for years. I know the older homes in Wellesley, MA and the newer construction in Chestnut Hill and everything in between.
When you call RL Plumbing you get me directly. No call center. No dispatcher. I show up on time and give you straight answers about what your water heater needs.
Why Wellesley, MA homeowners choose RL Plumbing:
Whether you need a traditional tank water heater or want to upgrade to a tankless system I handle complete installations. I work with quality units in 40 and 50 and 75 gallon sizes and will recommend the right capacity based on your household needs. Every installation includes proper venting and gas line connections and code-compliant work. I pull permits when required and make sure everything passes inspection.
Not every water heater problem requires replacement. If your unit is less than 8 years old a repair often makes more sense. I fix failed heating elements and thermostats and pressure relief valves and anode rods. Sediment buildup is common in Wellesley, MA homes. I can flush your tank to remove accumulated sediment and extend your water heater's life. I'll be straight with you about whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is showing signs of age like rusty water or rumbling noises or water pooling around the base it's time for replacement. I handle the entire process including removing your old unit and installing the new one and proper disposal. Most replacements take half a day and you'll have hot water again by evening.

Yes. Many Wellesley homes were built before 1960 and still have galvanized steel pipes. Installing a new water heater on old galvanized pipes can cause problems including corrosion and sediment clogs and reduced water flow. RL Plumbing inspects the existing plumbing before installation and recommends upgrades if needed to avoid issues down the road.
Wellesley gets water from both MWRA and local wells. The local well water is moderately hard and can cause mineral buildup inside tanks over time. Annual tank flushing helps prevent sediment accumulation and extends the life of the unit. RL Plumbing can flush your tank and check the anode rod during a service call.
Yes. Massachusetts law requires a licensed plumber to pull permits and perform water heater work. Homeowners cannot do this themselves legally. Gas water heaters need both plumbing and gas fitting permits. RL Plumbing handles all permit paperwork and scheduling of inspections with the Wellesley Building Department.
Winter inlet water temperatures in the Boston area drop to 35-45°F compared to 50-60°F in summer. Your water heater has to work harder to heat colder water which means longer recovery times and higher energy use. If hot water runs out faster in winter or temperatures feel inconsistent it may be time for a larger unit or a maintenance check.
