"Andy came over to look at the water heater and told me what he would do and what needed to be done, it was 18 years old and out of code. He was here on time and did a great job and I liked him too. I would recommend Family First and would hire Andy again."

"Was selling my apartment and wanted to service heater prior to listing. Moore provided great technicians who tried everything they could to reset and fix some mechanical issues. Provided lots of info and updates while they worked, showed me everything they were doing, where problems were, etc. In the end, the heater was too far gone and a whole replacement was recommended. Moore was able to schedule the replacement within a week. Whole project was completed in 4.5 hours and came in under their initial estimate. 10/10 would recommend them to all friends and family."

"I would highly recommend Ray’s Rescue Plumbing. He was very clean, prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. We had several issues ranging from leaks, repairs and installing a tankless water heater. Ray’s prices were competitive and he actually saved us a few thousand dollars from a previous bid from a ‘not so honest’ plumber."

"They are usually great but this time their estimate to replace a water heater was shocking $6K!!!!!!!! twice the price of anybody else. Granted I live down a bunch of stairs but really $6K?????? That is my only complaint. They came on time and quickly charged me for the visit $76 which is within reason but as I said the quote was through the roof. By the way Home Advisor said this job should cost around $1,500 and even if you add the hassle of the stairs it should not even approach their estimate."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget. 

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

Basements, specifically those without any air conditioning, are the best location for a hybrid water heater. These rooms are less likely to experience extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect your hybrid water heater’s efficiency and performance. Basements often have more than enough space for their tanks and proper air circulation. Hybrid water heaters can also be a bit noisy, but putting them in your basement will keep the noise away from your main living areas.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, which is nearly double the lifespan of a conventional tank heater. However, their longevity is highly dependent on several factors. With proper installation and regular maintenance, such as descaling to prevent mineral buildup from hard water, you can expect a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Without proper care, a tankless unit may begin to fail in as little as 12 years. Other factors that affect its lifespan include household usage and the quality of the local water supply. While they have a higher upfront cost, their energy savings, smaller size, and longer life make them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

While not all homes require a hot water heater expansion tank, they are necessary in most newer homes and are often mandated by local building codes. Codes typically require an expansion tank if your plumbing system is a 'closed-loop' system, which often includes a backflow preventer or pressure regulator on the main water line. Some municipalities have specific requirements. Installing an expansion tank on a closed system is crucial, as it prevents excess pressure that can damage your water heater and other appliances, potentially shortening their lifespan. However, tankless water heaters do not require an expansion tank.
