"I'm satisfied the problem was fixed however, two issues arose. The tech burned our baseboard molding trying to sweat a fitting onto the copper pipe. The service van was not equipped with the correct part - a cold water supply valve for the toilet. Rather a fundamental part - I was surprised."

"I requested a quote from them through Home Advisor. They called me back first thing the next morning, and they were even able to come out later that day to replace my water heater. It was a flat rate, and the tech did a great job with the installation. The warranty is great, too!"

"Gray water was packing up into our sink. We called Benjamin Franklin, requesting emergency service. Jamie showed up 30 minutes later. Extremely personable, professional, and knowledgeable, he quickly identified that we had a blockage in our gray water line and our gutter overflow. He was able to identify both lines underground and meticulously removed all the debris. Both lines were up and flowing within 30 minutes. Amazing! Benjamin Franklin is a great company with professional services from start to finish! Highly recommend!"

"There are no words that can completely express my thanks and gratitude for this professional with Legit Plumber LLC. Installation of an 50 gallon electric hot water heater was installed today as scheduled without any complications. When I submitted my request for a professional, this provider was noted. I soon received a consultation call from Troy. He listen, patiently as I explain the dire situation. Troy ask for pictures and said that he would complete cost estimation and call me when complete. He kept his word and called, giving me a detailed breakdown of what needs to be done and replacement cost for water heater and needed supplies to complete. An installation date and time window was scheduled. Troy kept me updated regarding his arrival. He arrived on time. He did a review and again, explained what he would be doing. Legit Plumber LLC is the one to call if you should need a hot water heater installed. I am very satisfied consumer. Pic of work in process."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.

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.

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.
