"The Water Heater company saved the day by promptly replacing the incredibly old water heater with new Tankless solution. Their team is very professional, and the pricing was extremely competitive. I would use them again for all my water heaters needs."

"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 Water Heater Wizard has been amazing. Hes done a bunch of things for me not just the water heater. Because of him I have a fully built out bathroom. 10/10 I recommend him to people every chance I get. The photo of the new bathroom is the update after the main drain had so much corrosion that it it flooded the house. These are pictures of how it used to look and the issues that where resolved."

"This was our first experience using Wighton’s and it won’t be the last. Aaron was very professional and very nice to work with. Our air conditioner stopped working and he was able to fix it and did some maintenance work on the unit also. He also pointed out that we needed to replace the air filter which services our hvac system, which we were grateful that he did because we had never had it changed out with a new one and it was long overdue. We signed up for their maintenance program so that our ac/heating will be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. We are very happy with his work and highly recommend Wighton’s!"

"Ismael Reyes provided excellent service. He replaced my water heater quickly and efficiently. He was professional, kind and courteous. And, unlike other plumbing companies, he is fair and reasonable priced. I would highly recommend him."

"Came out the same day I called them. Did the work at that time. Balt knew what he was doing and did a nice job. More things ended up needing doing, but the plumbing was over 40 years old, so not surprising. Quickly took care of unexpected problems and didn't let anything bother him. I felt the price was a bit high, but then I haven't used a professional plumber in many years."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

While not all homes require a hot water heater expansion tank, they are necessary in most newer homes and are often mandated by local building codes. Codes typically require an expansion tank if your plumbing system is a 'closed-loop' system, which often includes a backflow preventer or pressure regulator on the main water line. Some municipalities have specific requirements. Installing an expansion tank on a closed system is crucial, as it prevents excess pressure that can damage your water heater and other appliances, potentially shortening their lifespan. However, tankless water heaters do not require an expansion tank.

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.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy — noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump’s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it’s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.

Replacing facilitates energy savings, decreases repair frequency, and aligns with modern safety regulations, maximizing safety.
