At Center City Plumbing Experts, one of the most common questions we get from homeowners in neighborhoods like Rittenhouse and Society Hill is: “Can I install a faucet or water heater myself?” While it might seem like a quick weekend project, these types of plumbing installations are more complex than they appear — and DIY attempts often end up costing more in the long run.
When a faucet isn’t seated properly, it can cause water damage under your sink that might go unnoticed for weeks. Worse, improper water heater installation can lead to serious safety hazards — from water leaks to scalding and even electrical issues. In Philadelphia, any water heater over a certain capacity requires a permit and inspection by law.
Our licensed plumbers not only install your fixtures safely and up to code, but we also provide free, detailed plumbing estimates before any work begins. We’re proud to serve Bella Vista, Old City, and the surrounding areas with transparent pricing and top-tier craftsmanship.
We also guide you through energy-efficient options that could save you hundreds in annual utility costs — from low-flow faucets to tankless water heater systems that qualify for rebates.
