"Had called around to a dozen local shops because my water heater went out and I needed a replacement. Rock Solid plumbing came with a bid that matched the closest competitor, but it was with a much better and more efficient water heater. The owner brought by a few informational guides and explained the benefits of one model versus the other, and once we had decided on using Rock Solid Plumbing, they were there within the week and had plumbed everything neatly two days ahead of schedule. Can't recommend these guys enough."

"Moore removed and replaced my water heater in mid November. First class work performed and no issues with it since. Had the duct work cleaned for the first time and while pricey worth knowing they’re clean of debris."

"I have a multi family building that needed the furnaces to be services and I wanted all of the thermocouples replaced in the furnaces and water heaters. Wagner provided a reasonable quote, completed the project when he said he was going to, and contacted all of the tenants to schedule the work. Defiantly will be doing business with them in the future!"

"I called this company on Tuesday and Don came out promptly at the time agreed to look at my project that afternoon. He gave me a fair quote and said he would return on Thursday with the necessary tools and parts to fix my hot water boiler tank that was leaking and to replace a kitchen faucet that could not be turned off. I had been told by three other plumbers, that the kitchen sink faucet was going to be really hard and expensive to replace because the previous faucet had been installed incorrectly and a brass fitting smashed on. They all said the sink would need to be removed and the under sink plumbing cut out and replaced. Don showed up right on time Thursday and went right to work. In less than 15 minutes he had the job done. He said it did require a special tool to remove the faucet, which he had, but it was not really a problem. No sink removal or plumbing replacement needed. Then he tackled the replacement of the leaking boiler hot water tank. This portion of the job took over four hours and proved to be a beast. Unintimidated, Don tackled and completed the job efficiently. I did notice when I was finishing the clean-up and putting my things back in the room after he was done that there was still a minor drip. I contacted Don and he came back the next morning and discovered one of the O-rings in a dielectric union had broken during the install and needed to be replaced. He immediately fixed the problem and I now have both of these issues resolved. I will definitely call Don again for future handyman projects, especially plumbing repairs. He is prompt, reliable, professional and fair."

"I have only lived in the Valley for 3 years and was recommended to J&S by a realtor who swore by their professionalism. I have hired Jimmy and his crew complete 2 jobs for me. They installed a hot water tank and fixed a plumbing leak in my master bathroom. I could not ask for better service. They were on time and completed the job quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend J&S Plumbing and Heating for any jobs you may need. They have integrity, the cost is affordable and less than other local companies. The office staff are kind and professional. I could not be happier!!!!! -Nate & Ree Ann Palmer"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.

Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.

Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it’s much more effective where it’s warm. The reason is that the heat pump needs ambient warmth in the air to compress. The less warmth, the more compression required, thus using more electricity and offsetting the energy-efficient benefits.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.

Basements, specifically those without any air conditioning, are the best location for a hybrid water heater. These rooms are less likely to experience extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect your hybrid water heater’s efficiency and performance. Basements often have more than enough space for their tanks and proper air circulation. Hybrid water heaters can also be a bit noisy, but putting them in your basement will keep the noise away from your main living areas.
