New bathroom vanity and faucet installed by Anne the Plumber

Water Heater Service for RI Homes & Businesses

Nothing ruins your morning like a cold shower. Whether your water heater is leaking, not producing enough hot water, or just reached the end of its life, Anne the Plumber can repair or replace it.

We work with all types — standard tank water heaters (gas and electric) and commercial systems.

Signs You Need Water Heater Installation and Repair

  • No hot water or water that’s only lukewarm
  • Water takes much longer than usual to heat up
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • Leaking or pooling water around the base of the tank
  • Popping or rumbling noises from the tank (sediment buildup)
  • The unit is 9+ years old
  • Your energy bills have increased without explanation

What to Expect

For repairs, we’ll inspect the unit, check the thermostat, heating elements, and connections, and give you a clear diagnosis with pricing. Most water heater repairs are completed same-day.

For replacements, we’ll help you choose the right size and type for your household — a family of four needs a different setup than a couple. We handle the full swap: drain the old tank, disconnect, remove, install the new unit, and test. Most replacements are completed within the day.
