"Jason was great. We had a slow Pressure after ABC installed a new water heater and he fixed the problem. He was professional, pleasant and I would recommend him in a flash. If I need any plumbing work in the future I would ask for Jason."

"I called Nathan and he answered right away. He was kind and courteous and very knowledgeable. I called a few other places and he was the only one who could answer my questions and give a free estimate. He came within the hour, replaced our water heater and the piping around it all within the price he first gave me, will definitely use him as our plumber!"

"I highly recommend this company and Christopher Lawless as your sales rep. I have 3 different companies come out and give me quotes, tell me how long it would take and the quality/warranty of their equipment. 3D solar was best in every way. Chris gave me the cost and power producing expectations. I wasn't given a pushy sales talk but a realistic one. I even asked about upgrading to more panels and instead of jumping on it, earning more money, he told me I didn't need and he didn't recommend it. I went with his recommendations and have been more than pleased! Installation was extremely quick and the workers were extremely polite. They kept me up to date on their status and cleaned up afterwards. Chris even stopped by to see how it was coming and let me know he was a partner in this purchase. He let me know that the panels were actually higher level from what I believed I was going to be getting. They were able to find the perfect placement of all the equipment. They worked perfectly within code and inspection passed quickly. Even today, Chris still keeps contact with me to verify that everything is working perfectly for me. I love my online details of the power my panels are producing. 3D solar is also monitoring the system and would know if something isn't performing correctly, which I have no needed at all. I haven't had a full winter yet of collecting power to cover summer charges, but I am already saving money! My house is 2000 sq ft with a pool. Normal summer charges were between $300-359 a month. I enjoyed my $75 bill during the summer. Next summer they should be even less. My May bill was only $9!!! I highly recommend going solar! 3D solar is one of the best companies around and they are LOCAL to Tampa! Your sales people live here. The workers live here. They are neighbors who want to do great work, save you money and save the environment. Please give them a call and ask for Chris Lawless! You will NOT be disappointed!"

"Technician vacuumed out the water and determined that the problem was likely related to using the wrong soap. He stayed until it was clear that the drain was working. He advised to cycle through one more time without soap. He did not charge for the service call. We have used Meares three times now, and appreciate their professionalism."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

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

While possible, professional assistance is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations and avoidance of avoidable risks.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.

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.
