"My hot water heater was replaced the same day. Old hot water heater was installed in 2000 so it didn't owe us anything. Done Right Today was courteous, professional, and offered a reasonable price. My wife and I were very pleased with their work. David and Jan Magaha"

"Project: Conversion from oil to gas heat and water heater including oil tank removal I don’t normally write reviews so I’ll start with the bottom line and go into more detail below. I highly recommend Burns & McBride for your heating, A/C jobs. From the sales, demolition and install they did the job right and for a good price. They participate in Energize Delaware program where DE provides rebates on upgrades in heating, A/C and insulation from select servicers enrolled in their program, saving you money. My oil furnace was 27 years old and had minor repairs to keep it going, the oil tank was from 1974 when the house was built. The tank was in the far corner of a crawl space not an easy place to remove. The water heater was a 10 year old electric about the time to start thinking of replacement. I had four estimates for the job. Bidders fell into two categories, those who participate in the Energize DE program (which qualified for DE rebates) and those who did not. Companies not in the program trashed it and said it was too much work to comply with the rules and that the cost would be inflated by the contractors (BALONEY!!). Those in the program gave me a sense of the cost before the rebates but none gave me any sense that they were capable of all aspects of the job and most did not even come back with a bid. Jim Myers from Burns & McBride was my salesman; he worked in the business and knows his stuff. He came in assessed the job and put together a plan with the costs and eligible rebates on the spot. By far the most professional of 4 other companies I spoke to. The crew, Calvin and Keith, spent the first day getting rid of the old equipment including cutting up the old oil tank. The next day they worked late putting a new furnace, tank less water heater, and humidifier and took care of all the gas and water line hook ups. These guys worked hard, knew what they were doing and did a GREAT JOB. They got us up and running the second day as promised. If you thinking of any doing any heating A/C work you really ought to call Burns & McBride, I was very impressed and pleased with their work"

"I was nervous to check on water systems for our house and am happy I found Purfect Water Solutions. After checking through Angie's list I got an immediate response and scheduled a time to meet with Scott. He came in and tested the water, he educated us on where our water quality is now (not great) and even tested our bottled water we got from the store (which was also not great). Great financing program if you worried about $ and referral program. W/ what we pay for water this was a no brainer. John came by our house in days with the system and had it hooked up the same morning. He was very nice, punctual, respectful and knowledgeable with what he is doing. I don't usually write reviews... but we want safe water for our kids and family and Scott & John did such a great job I want to write a good review and share our experience. Water is so important everyday. Do yourself a favor and at least get your water tested so you know what your family is drinking/washing with."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

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.

Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. 

Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.

Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it’s much more effective where it’s warm. The reason is that the heat pump needs ambient warmth in the air to compress. The less warmth, the more compression required, thus using more electricity and offsetting the energy-efficient benefits.

It takes between one and three hours to replace a hot water heater element, depending on whether you hire a pro or do the work yourself. For example, a professional plumber with all the necessary tools and experience can often finish the job in one to two hours, whereas DIY will take two to three hours because it'll involve more preparation and troubleshooting.
