"A large leak in an underground community water system required immediate excavation and repair.  Jim White, Integrity's owner, located on short notice a very competent excavating firm (R&S out of Silt, Colorado) who quickly secured the necessary permit, provided traffic control and excavated the system to provide access for Integrity's plumber to make the repair.  The repair took a bit longer than hoped for because of some complications related to how various underground pipes were routed and connected requiring the assigned plumber to call Jim in for help.  Jim's experience was apparent once he was on site and he very quickly sorted out the problems.
Would definitely use Integrity again and would insist that Jim scope the work.

"Hydronix did several things for us, including venting, piping and ductwork. They were easy to work with and they did a great job. Their estimates were delivered timely and the work was completed on time and within budget. We added onto the scope a couple of times and there was no problem doing so. They are really capable and honest—they do the job the right way. I highly recommend Hydronix."

"Titan Plumbing & Heating completely exceeds expectations on our ranch. He services our property with multiple outbuildings, houses, barns, and aging pipes through years of hard water from our wells. From the first call, Daryl has been professional, punctual, and clear about the scope and cost. He maps out entire systems, replaces aging pipes, and has installed new high-efficiency boilers and water heaters that keeps every building warm, even through the winter nights. Daryl works cleanly, respected our land and livestock, and never leaves a mess behind him. Everything was finished on schedule and ron budget. He checks in to make sure his repairs and installs are working well. You rarely find this level of skill and honesty anymore. If you own a large property and need work done right the first time, call Titan. Five stars, without hesitation."

"Well, they did a great job! - but it was 23 days after the first tech came by. From what I'm told, the first tech quit working for Heat 2 Cool. I feel they did a poor job of keeping us informed on their progress with our project. We called them twice to ask when they will be back to install the part. One Thursday, during this 23 day wait, they were to show up between 8AM - 12 PM. They were no call/ no show! We were left hanging, wondering what's going on. Are they really going to fix our furnace or should we find another repair company? Sure glad it wasn't winter yet! They did knock $50 off our bill for the inconvenience, so I rated them a 4."

"My old water heater went out yesterday and of course leaked water all over. I shut it off and stopped the leaking. Called early this morning looking for someone to install a new one. Jim was actually sent over by another plumber who could not get to my job right away. Jim showed up, looked at the job, we talked about the options and he gave me a bid. Let to get the new water heater. We back in about thirty minutes. He had to make some changes to the water and gas lines. Added shut offs and installed new one. Took the time to explain operation and maintenance of the new one. Cleaned up the work site. Removed all debris and old water heater. I was impressed with his work and his attitude.

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.

If your water heater is about to celebrate the big 2-0, you may want to consider sending it off to greener pastures. While the water heater may seem to be working well, any conventional, tanked water heater over 10 years of age is at risk of failure. If your water heater is 20 years or older, your best move is to replace your aging heater before it completely breaks down.

It’s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

  • Electric: $600–3,500

  • Gas: $700–$2,700

  • Propane: $700–$2,500

  • High efficiency: $1,500–$3,000

  • Indirect: $1,200–$3,500

  • Hybrid heat pump: $1,200–$3,500

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.

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
