Our company was created from our two founders’ shared vision to combine industry-leading knowledge and expertise, with a passion for service excellence, to operate as THE Water Heater Company. Our entire team is united in this quest to be the best. We continuously train, we work together to exceed expectations, and we get better every day. Our goal is to provide our community with the highest quality service and solutions — proudly working every day to earn our reputation as Your Trusted Water Heater Authority.

"Such a good experience from beginning to end! I came back from a trip to find my water heater was leaking all over the place. I was referred to THE Water Heater Company by some friends, whose opinions I hold in high regard, and I was not disappointed. The company gave me straightforward options and said they could respond the next day and would likely be able to replace my water heater that same day. Marc was able to remove my old water heater and replace it with a great brand in the time he said it would take; moving everything up and down 3 flights of stairs and working in a small space. A great experience from start to finish: thorough review of existing equipment and services; thorough explanation of available options and explained better versus worse options; they said what they were going to do and delivered on that. Everything was straightforward and handled efficiently. It was also great to have someone who takes pride and is enthusiastic about the work they do. If every interaction in my day was like this one, I would never have anything to worry about. A big thank you to THE Water Heater Company and to Marc!"

"American Professionals came in to do my plumbing for a bathroom addition upstairs. I had a couple other plumbers look at the job, and they didn’t want to touch it because it was a monster task, that was complicated! Dave and his crew knew exactly how to tackle the job. The inspector looked at the work and said (no joke) “ They should take pictures of this work and put it in plumbing textbooks”. They were: fast Clean Reasonable On time Very happy with this company. I’ve recommended them many times and everyone have been thrilled with their work."

"Installation was seedless with Davide the expert installer and his assistant . The engineer Eric who came out the week before actually inspected the roof platform , ducts , room vents and accurate square footage and recommend ½ ton less package which saved me some money too . Great warranty on Goodman unit and their 2 year labor warranty . The staff person Lorraine got me through the finance process and gave me a more than fair price than others and flagged the license of a competing solo guys bid that was actually not his but a plumber I had never heard of . It is worth going with an established solvent company so the warranty is meaningful and a comfort after such a big purpose. On the roof the re piping and vent attaching , and condensation escape tube were very tidily and elegantly done . I hope to do a mini split with them in the future on another unit."

Subcontracting services FAQs

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
