"Did a $59 consult only. Turned out the cost of repairing the old heater was almost as much as a new one, so we got a new one, and handled the install ourselves. Luis B was great, knowledgeable, friendly, didn't try to upcharge just to sell a heater, which we appreciated. Gave us an honest evaluation, several options, and was right on time. I will say, though, that the company failed to call me when he was on his way... not a big deal. All in all a good experience."

"They were very prompt, polite, and professional. My water heater was in a tricky spot . He ended up needing to disconnect a few things related to my furnace as well. They did it without charging me anything extra and When they were done, everything looked and worked great."

"I have hired this company three times ..(1) laundry room renovation, (2) removing a microwave and installing an over the stove ventilation fan hood (3) a home water filtration system. Let me expand on this.. I had a filtration system installed end of last year, it started leaking and the original plumber pretty much ignored me and my phone calls. I called Alvco for help. They promptly responded. Upon inspection of the system, I found out it had been installed incorrectly â ¦ Tim completely reconfigured it â ¦ copper pipes, shut off valves, bypass shut off valves and pressure release valves â ¦ not to mention replacing the leaky filter encasing. Every job they have done has been done way above my expectationsâ ¦ I will , honestly, never use anyone else, They are knowledgeable, efficient, prompt, friendly, great communicators and they listen . This company is second generation family owned since 1984. This shows love, respect, dedication, motivation and just overall family tradition, In my opinion, these are all very positiveâ ¦ running a business, or just living each day. Deb"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.

Choosing between an electric water heater vs. a gas water heater comes down to personal preference. Overall, electric heaters are more energy efficient than their gas competitors. They’re also quieter to operate, take up less room, and don’t come with a risk of gas leaks. 

The downside is that electric water heaters cost more to operate than gas. They might also struggle to heat water fast enough for households that use large amounts of hot water. Lastly, a power outage could cause your electric water heater to stop working, whereas gas water heaters may still function.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, which is nearly double the lifespan of a conventional tank heater. However, their longevity is highly dependent on several factors. With proper installation and regular maintenance, such as descaling to prevent mineral buildup from hard water, you can expect a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Without proper care, a tankless unit may begin to fail in as little as 12 years. Other factors that affect its lifespan include household usage and the quality of the local water supply. While they have a higher upfront cost, their energy savings, smaller size, and longer life make them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

No. Expansion tanks must be installed on the supply side (where heated water flows out) of the boiler. There’s also a list of other requirements for most boilers, including being above the pressure relief valves, being on the inner side of any circulator, and more. Your installation manual should have more information on expansion tank installation requirements and what sort of tank the system is made for.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.
