"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."

"The pro who responded to my call even came out at 9:45pm to unclog my sink! Very nice person, and worked hard to fix it. Very excellent work and he completed it in about 45 minutes. I will definitely hire Aleman Plumbing again!"

"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."

"Excellent work completed in less than 24hrs. Wish I?d done my homework for average cost to replace a water heater. $2850 to replace 50 gallon gas water heater seems very steep."

"I had an excellent experience with D G Plumbing and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services. Their team was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They took the time to clearly explain the work that needed to be done and ensured everything was completed to a high standard. What really stood out was their fair and transparent pricing - no surprises, just honest and reasonable costs for quality work. It’s not always easy to find a company you can trust, but D G Plumbing definitely delivers on both service and value."

"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 average cost to install a new water heater is approximately $1,300, with a typical price range between $880 and $1,800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, its location and accessibility, and the amount of labor required. For example, installing a unit in a tight space like a crawl space can increase labor costs. The type of water heater significantly impacts the price: while a conventional gas heater might cost less than $1,000, tankless models can cost around $2,600 to install (and up to $3,500), and solar heaters can cost upwards of $3,700. Other factors that can affect the total price include the fuel type, vent system requirements, permits, and whether any additional plumbing work or repairs from previous water heater damage are needed.

Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. 

Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:

  • Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.

  • Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.

  • Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.

  • Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.

  • Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.

If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

On average, a tankless water heater should last between 10 and 15 years. Its lifespan will be affected by how much it's used, the effect of weather where your home is on the unit—colder is harsher and will shorten lifespan—and if the heater is maintained appropriately and regularly. There are many signs your water heater needs to be replaced, so pay attention to anything that changes with your heater or hot water.
