Q: How do I know when it's time to replace a hot water heater?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-should-i-replace-my-water-heater.htm">average lifespan of a water heater</a> is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.</p><p>Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.</p></div>

Q: What size wire should I use for a 30-amp hot water heater?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wire-guage-amp-chart.htm">standard copper wire gauge</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: Is a hot water recirculating system worth it?

• <div><p>If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-heater-not-heating-water-luke-warm-water-comes-shower.htm">hot water heater is not hot enough</a>. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade. </p></div>

Q: Can a heat pump water heater work in colder climates?

• <div><p>Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it&rsquo;s much more effective where it&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: How much do different types of water heaters cost?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:</p><ul><li><p>Electric: $600&ndash;3,500</p></li><li><p>Gas: $700&ndash;$2,700</p></li><li><p>Propane: $700&ndash;$2,500</p></li><li><p>High efficiency: $1,500&ndash;$3,000</p></li><li><p>Indirect: $1,200&ndash;$3,500</p></li><li><p>Hybrid heat pump: $1,200&ndash;$3,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"Came to our lake house twice to fix an issue with shower going hot and cold and the issue was not rectified either time, yet we were charged approx $800 for each visit (including “trip charge”). We were slow to pay the second time because we were asking them to come back and fix the issue and we got chastised by the lady calling to collect with threats that “trust me, you dont want to owner to get involved” inferring that he was not going to be pleasant to deal with. We actually asked for the owner to call but all we got was were threats to be sent to bad debt collection so we gave up and just paid the bill. Now we’ve spent $1600 with Ace, who cares nothing about making sure our issue was resolved but just collecting their fees and we still haven’t gotten our problem fixed. Great example of why contractors have a bad name. No integrity."
