Pricing
How pricing works.
What water heater removal costs here. We price by the tier your items fill, starting at $95–$150 for a 1/8 truck; a single item is quoted from a photo so we can confirm the tier before anything is loaded. The number you agree to is the number you pay, and it includes carry-out, the disposal fee and cleanup.
Water heater pricing scales with size, type, and access. A standard fifty-gallon tank from a garage is the lightest version. An eighty-gallon tank from a finished basement is heavier work. Tankless wall-mounted units are usually similar to a standard tank job because the carry is shorter but the connection work takes longer.
We give you the number before we touch the unit.

Part of our Appliance Removal service
Water heater removal is the kind of appliance job where the prep work matters more than the carry. Put numbers on it and the reason is obvious: a standard fifty-gallon tank is around 150 pounds empty, and the water inside it is another 400. It has to be empty before it moves. Without that, the unit is too heavy to handle safely and the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t.
If it’s still connected, licensed plumbing or gas work is normally handled by you or a licensed pro; we’ll help figure out what’s needed and work around it. A plug-in electric heater we simply unplug. Once the tank is empty, it comes out on a dolly. We bring the hands the job needs; if it’s an eighty-gallon premium tank or a difficult basement carry, that can mean extra hands.
Tankless water heaters are a different shape of job. They’re wall-mounted, they’re lighter, and the unit is plumbed into the wall rather than sitting on the floor. Once it’s disconnected, the unit comes with us and the wall plumbing stays in place.

How we work
Where an Old Water Heater Hides in a Brunswick House
Water heater removal starts with the prep on the old unit. Once it’s disconnected, the tank gets drained and hauled out.
Tank water heaters get drained before they leave the floor. Drainage runs to a hose to a drain or outdoor outlet. Most tanks drain in twenty-to-thirty minutes for a standard fifty-gallon unit; longer for the larger sizes. Once empty, the dolly takes the tank.
Tankless units come off the wall. The wall plumbing stays in place; the unit comes with us. Whether the drywall around a tankless installation needs patching afterward is for the next contractor to decide.
In an older house in the South End, or in the blocks around Newcastle Street in Downtown Brunswick, a water heater may be tucked into a closet, under a stair or out on a back porch, and finding a spot to park the truck near the door can take a little planning. If it’s still connected, licensed plumbing or gas work is normally handled by you or a licensed pro, and we work around it; once it’s disconnected, we drain the tank to a hose and take it out on a dolly; a tankless unit comes off the wall and the plumbing stays put. If a plumber is putting in the new one, tell us when, send a photo of where the old one sits, and we’ll work out the timing — downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods alike.
