"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."

"Heat2Cool was extremely gracious in coming to install new cooler after hours. They provided full crew and worked very efficiently. However, they had to return the following day to make an adjustment for water overflowing. And then, on the next day, the cooler was producing only hot air. Heat2Cool was not available, so I called another company. They determined that the installers of the new cooler had wired the new wires to old, corroded wires. The result was that the new Pump had 'burned out'. A new pump was required. The pump installer rewired the hookup and it has been working fine in the 2 weeks since then."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

While heat pump water heaters are more expensive than gas-powered water heaters, the ROI is higher for heat pump units. Not only are heat pump water heaters more energy efficient, meaning immediate savings on your energy bill, but they also last longer than traditional gas versions, meaning you won't have to buy them as often.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

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.
