"We needed to replace our old 20+ year HVAC system before it quit working which probably would have been in the summer when HVAC companies are the busiest. so I decided to do it winter 2021. Did my due diligence and had three companies come out, present their bids and recommended equipment. Most of the companies were in line with their bids and no one underbid their competitors. All were less than $300 apart. I have 18+ years real estate and property management experience so I have dealt with lots of trades over the years. I chose CenCal because I liked their presentation, the length of time they had been in business and although I didn't know it at the time I chose them, I did know the owner through shared past acquaintances. Knowing our shared acquaintances and their background helped firm up my decision to go with CenCal. From the time CenCal techs started the job until the time they finished the installation, our experience was superior to any other firm I have ever dealt with in the past. They were always on time and thorough with the information they provided. Found we had a leak in our ducts under the house so also had those replaced so all equipment was new out the gate. In addition to the professionalism of the installers, sales rep and quality follow up after the job was completed, CenCal's office staff is some of the best I have ever dealt with in my career. These ladies should give classes to other company's staff people.... they are that good!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Yes, a water heater can be replaced in a day and can take between two and three hours to install from start to finish. Even if you encounter extra tasks that need to be completed, the job can still be completed in one day.

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.

If your water heater continues to have issues, you may wonder how long an electric water heat lasts. On average, these units last between 10 to 15 years. Following a proper maintenance schedule can help the water heater live to the end of its average lifespan or longer.

Water expands when heated and also when freezing. When water is heated, it expands by around 4%. For a full water heater, this is one of the main reasons malfunctions occur—the hot water has nowhere else to go but out. Due to the constant expansion and reduction in volume, it’s recommended (required in most places) that an expansion tank be installed.

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.
