"Jim Behrendt has been our primary contractor for a dozen rental units and our personal residence for over ten years. We have counted on him for remodels (primarily turning over vacant apartments), plumbing, flooring of all types, and general construction. He has done difficult, unpleasant jobs for us, like turning a rat-infested attic into a gorgeous finished extra living space, while charging very reasonable rates. He always looks for the most cost effective solution that addresses the issue. For example, when we told by a plumber we needed a re-pipe (who had just charged an exorbitant amount for a slab leak), Jim recommended and carried out a much simpler repair at a small fraction of any other estimate. Most important to us is that Jim has always been honest, looking out for OUR best interest in giving his advice. We never once felt overcharged for anything. He is not only extremely skilled and knowledgeable, he is a consummate professional with a rare brand of integrity."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Signs that your water heater may explode include rust-colored water coming from hot water taps, the smell of sulfur or rotten eggs coming from the water, shaking or rumbling in the tank, and a leaky temperature and pressure valve. If the water heater feels excessively hot to the touch, it could also indicate the prospect of an explosion. If you suspect your water heater might explode, call a pro immediately to address the problem.

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.

Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

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.
