"Bryan is awesome! He is incredibly professional. He knows what he is doing without a shadow of a doubt! Bryan even followed up with me after the install on top of stopping by shortly after just to triple check everything. Not only this but he even went out of his way after hours to answer any of my questions over the phone. If I had to summarize this review for you, I would tell you that if you want a professional that is incredibly passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his clientele, then you need to hire St. Clair Plumbing immediately. Thank you, Byran. I toast this glass of purified drinking water to you, good sir!"

"Everything went great clean service I needed this done the day of and they showed up and had everything done before I got home from work. I like that they were able to give me an estimate over the phone unlike other businesses. Overall great experience and I got the best water heater on the market by their suggestion. Highly recommend."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

No. Expansion tanks must be installed on the supply side (where heated water flows out) of the boiler. There’s also a list of other requirements for most boilers, including being above the pressure relief valves, being on the inner side of any circulator, and more. Your installation manual should have more information on expansion tank installation requirements and what sort of tank the system is made for.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

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.

Not all types of water heaters require a venting system. Electric tankless water heaters don’t use natural or propane gas, so no venting is required. Instead, they use electric burners to heat water quickly and efficiently. However, any system that does use gas or propane will require ventilation.
