"We had our water heater replaced by The Water Heater Company and the service was excellent from start to finish. The technician, Mike P., was professional, on time, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, completed the installation efficiently, and made sure the area was clean before leaving. My new water heater is working great. We really appreciate the quality of work and the attention to detail. We highly recommend The Water Heater Company especially if you want a smooth, stress-free water heater replacement done right the first time."

"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."

"Ok so this man Giovanni is a rare find. Read his reviews they are real reviews. I had a problem no hot water and we had a new tankless hot water heater put in 9 months ago. So did some research and as soon as I read Giovanniâ s reviews I stopped searching. The review of the son being concerned that Giovanni was going to take advantage of his older mother is the main review that sold me. So this is what happen, I called and spoke to Giovanni around noon. He was going to squeeze me in around 2:30. He had other appointments. So around 1:30 a friend can to my house and I told her about the hot water so she said let me see. She started going into settings and with a few clicks it started working. I then sent Giovanni a text telling him what took place. He called me I told him what my friend did and walked him through the steps. He said all was good except to take off always running and put on intelligent, which I did. So now the next day I get home from work turned on hot water and just warm after 5/6 minutes of running. So thinking there was still the problem I text Giovanni and ask if he could come and look at it either today or tomorrow told him about the warm water. He then text me back saying that the intelligent needs to relearn when we use water. He also told me to turn on hot water in few different places in the home. And yes he was right the water got hot very hot. It just needs to relearn when we use hot water. I have paid this man nothing, he talk me out of having him come to my house because he doesnâ t feel there is a need for him. He told me it could take a week to learn, and if I did have problems to call him back. WHAT A GREAT GUY. I kinda hope it does break just to meet this incredible man. THANK YOU GIOVANNI. Need to update this review because I did have him come to my house for a feew liitle things. He quoted my $1,595.00 for 3 didderent fixed. The reason why I am writing this is because after he started the work he realize that one of the issue I had didn't need as much work as he first thought. He removed $400.00 from my bill. He could have said nothing because the issue was in the craw space and I would have nevered known. That is a really great guy and an incredible plumber without a doubt. Would refer him to anyone and everyone!"

"Victor from L.A. Plumbing Pros came out Jan. 28 to start my water heater. He was here within a half hour of his call. He gave me a ball park price over the phone for doing the job but told me when he got here he did not realize I was within a couple of blocks of the Altadena fire. He said there is no charge. He was very gracious and kind and I am so grateful to him. He got the water heater to work in just a couple of minutes. Thanks again Victor."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

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.

You should replace your gas water heater when it’s reached the end of its lifespan, which is a maximum of 12 years in most cases. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency, leaks, or frequent malfunctions, it may be time to replace your water heater. Research how to best maintain your gas water heater to help extend its lifespan.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.
