"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."

"Perfectly. They cleaned everything up, explained how the system worked and how often it needs attention, and hauled away the old hot water heater. They arrived on time, worked steadily, and finished before dinner time."

"Found me the right size water heater, a few days before Thanksgiving and had it installed within 2 hours. Clean and efficient and Bradford White gas water heaters are American made. Built to last. Daniel Westereng did a great job with the install. Clean, fast, thorough and polite."

"Top notch service!!! Our water heater went out and we needed a new one ASAP! These type of problems always happen at the worst and most inconvenient of times. We called around and no one could make it out for at least a day? some were two days! We called Water Heater SOS and explained our need for a new water heater ASAP, they explained they had a lot of calls that day but assured us they would send someone out by end of the day.. within the hour they called us back and said they were sending one of their guys right now!!! They were extremely professional, polite and worked fast and efficiently to get us a new water heater up and running by the end of the day!!! We HIGHLY recommend Water Heater SOS"

"I would absolutely use Jax Mechanical in the future. Justin and Zac were very professional and thorough. I was very hesitant, due to a previous bad encounter with Service Master. Justin and Zac were patient and not condescending. Michael was quick with the bid/estimate and I am grateful for their service. If you need a water heater installed, be assured that Jax Mechanical is the only call you need to make."

"My hot water heater began leaking on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend - yikes! After requesting a quote via Angi, I received nearly instant communication from Ruben, who then sent me lots of information about what likely needed to be done and what it would cost. He was available same day, and he was able to replace my water heater neatly and efficiently. I am thoroughly satisfied and impressed. So happy he could help me on the holiday weekend. I'm very appreciative."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.

Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they’re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, gas water heaters versus electric water heaters may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.

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.

Depending on the brand of water heater, you may need to install an expansion tank in order to meet the conditions for warranty coverage. It’s important for consumers to read the fine print of the warranty to see if an expansion tank is necessary. Even if an expansion tank isn’t required for the warranty, it’s usually mandated by building codes—although not for tankless water heaters.
