"Our 24 year old electric water heater started giving nothing but cold showers and that wasn't going to cut it. We checked Angies list like we always do and found that the top rated pulmbers for the job we wanted done were "The Clean Plumbers - Phillip Maurici" so that's who we went with. They did the job in no time flat on the day we called them. Jorge and Adam proved to be exellent at what they do, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them anytime."

We had multiple companies come out to give us quotes but this company stands out above the rest. From their customer service to their attention to detail everything went smoothly. As what started as a disaster turned into an incredible experience. Thank you all at Blue Bear!"

"VERY knowledgeable, polite, reasonable, and quick to respond!!! I called to inquire one day. He came that same afternoon to inspect and quote a price. By 11am the next day, I had a new water heater and toilet installed and working perfectly for almost half the 'estimated' price that another guy was going to charge! He even did a repair job under the house at no extra charge. I would recommend Jimmy(the owner] to ANY & ALL!!!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

A well-maintained hot water recirculating pump can last 5 to 15 years. Pumps that run continuously may have a shorter lifespan than demand-controlled models. Hard water can reduce longevity by causing mineral buildup in the pump and pipes. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing filters, can extend the pump’s lifespan.

Typically, only a high-efficiency water heater with an inducer fan can be vented outside the house. Otherwise, your water heater needs to be installed on the inside and vented through the roof. However, certain areas may allow a standard-efficiency water heater to be vented outside. Check your local building codes to be sure.

An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though—tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.
