M.A. Paone Plumbing & Heating | Water Heater Installation/Repair & Plumbing in Newton, MA 02458

First, turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never put your hand inside. You can often use an Allen wrench (usually provided with the unit) inserted into the bottom to manually turn the motor and dislodge the jam. If that doesn't work, or if the disposal is leaking or making unusual noises, call us at M.A. Paone. Our Newton plumbers can safely clear the obstruction, repair the unit, or recommend a replacement if needed.

While a recirculation pump's primary function is to provide instant hot water, it can be a helpful secondary benefit. By keeping warm water moving through the pipes, especially in vulnerable exterior walls or crawl spaces, it reduces the risk of freezing during a deep freeze. For comprehensive freeze protection in Newton, we recommend a combination of proper insulation, letting faucets drip on very cold nights, and our expert plumbing inspection to identify and address specific risk areas in your home.

We offer several energy-efficient water heater options tailored to Newton homes. For most households, a high-efficiency gas or electric tank model is a reliable upgrade. For homes with higher demand or seeking maximum efficiency, we install tankless (on-demand) water heaters that provide endless hot water and can lower energy bills. During a consultation, we'll assess your home's size, fuel source, and your family's needs to recommend the best installation for comfort and long-term savings.
