"My chest freezer broke down and I did not want to buy a new one since I could not afford the same size. I reached out to appliance parts pro and they were confident that what I ordered would fix my problem. $200 in parts later and I now have a broken freezer on my porch and am still paying the loan to this terrible company. They just want you to order parts and try them because they know you can't return them. I hate this company with every fiber of my being and will make sure that anyone that has a broken appliance will not use them. To top it off, their site is so screwed up that it give you an error trying to log back in. I ended up having to create THREE different accounts because every time I went to place a new order, it would not let me login and it would not send a password reset email. DON'T GET RIPPED OFF."

"Called bc my HVAC was cooling at 75. They said I needed to replace everything, I agreed, day of install I was missing one of my cards to pay, I told them immediately what had happened and that I could go with one of their cheaper systems to pay today. I had 12 k to pay that day for their 11 k system. They said they would still install system that day and would work with me and not to worry about a cheaper system. They did not work with me. They instead uninstalled my furnace and hvac and left without talking to me. My hvac is currently in my front yard and my furnace is under my crawl space. Now I have no working air, and the general manager said I cancelled the new hvac and furnace installation so they aren’t reinstalling working equipment that they removed. I will say the people that have come out and work were all nice. I cannot understand why everything was uninstalled though if they had no intention of putting it back or installing the system."

"I had to pay for five guys and only one worked. Paid Jacobs to lower my main water line before I had driveway paved.. their line leaked which I had to video to prove. When they tied this new line into original copper water line, it leaked also which I had to video. I was billed and paid for faulty repairs. Jacobs broke my irrigation line faucet. When they had it repaired I was billed again and refused to pay. I texted the owner and complained but he did not respond. Instead he threateded and reported me to all credit agencies."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

A well-maintained hot water recirculating pump can last 5 to 15 years. Pumps that run continuously may have a shorter lifespan than demand-controlled models. Hard water can reduce longevity by causing mineral buildup in the pump and pipes. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing filters, can extend the pump’s lifespan.

Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget. 

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

Unless they are connected to the same system, boilers and water heaters will both need their own expansion tanks. The only case they wouldn’t have separate expansion tanks is if the boiler is pulling double duty and managing a heating system while also supplying hot water for a home. In which case, you may not need a hot water heater.

Due to the high temperature, using stainless steel vent pipes for your tankless water heater’s exhaust vent is best. Also, it is safe to use a flexible vent duct as the exhaust fan. If installing the exhaust fan yourself, make sure you are using heat-resistant silicon to connect the exhaust vent and the duct on your water heater.
