"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."

"Solid customer service and the plumber that did the thankless install did a great job. I had a frozen valve and they were able.to repair that on the fly. Their price was competitive with another quote I got. When asking for quotes for a water heater install, Aaron realized I bought the wrong type for my situation and pointed me in the right direction. I will absolutely use these guys for any future plumbing projects."

"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 hired Alvco for a plumbing repair I highly highly recommend Alvco. This is a family owned and operated entity. Tim and his brother are superb at all aspects of the business from technical expertise, on time arrival, and genuine customer care. They did a water heater replacement for me same day. They did not charge me extra for the rapid response and they quadruple checked their installation to ensure every aspect of the job was correctly executed. I also asked Tim to change the dimension of my heater as the outgoing unit i felt was to big for the closet it was located inside of. He fully supported my request and and now the new unit looks perfect. Tim and his brother are exceptional. I will use them on all my plumbing jobs going forward."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

It takes between one and three hours to replace a hot water heater element, depending on whether you hire a pro or do the work yourself. For example, a professional plumber with all the necessary tools and experience can often finish the job in one to two hours, whereas DIY will take two to three hours because it'll involve more preparation and troubleshooting.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

You have more options for water heaters than ever before. The best one for your home depends on your hot water usage and budget. Some of the more common types of water heaters are the conventional gas heater, a heat pump water heater, or a tankless heater for smaller homes or those with less water demands. Some uncommon types are solar and point-of-use systems. Some homes may have a combination of two units, such as a large heat pump heater and a backup point-of-use system.

The amount of time it takes to replace an electric water heater will depend on the skill level of the individual who is replacing it. For example, if you replace it yourself–and you don’t have much experience–you can expect the project to take a full day. 

However, if you have a certified plumber or water heater contractor install your new water heater, it can take as little as 2 to 3 hours.

Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.

You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.
