"Punctual, professional, communicative, accomadative, knowledgeable about job, courteous, SUPER FAST. I am still pleasantly surprised. At first, I did not allow myself to exhale. I waited to see what the catch was. It's been over 10 days and everything is working great. I was even able to get an upgraded hot water heater at no additional cost! When I woke up on Christmas eve day to find my hot water heater was leaking, I did not know what to expect. After contacting the manufacturer and verifying it was under warranty, I found several companies that could do the work. I chose lionsgate and who would have thought they would be at my home the morning after Christmas and would be through in less than 2 hours! He left everything clean too. Just an all around excellent experience!"

"If you buy a water heater yourself, Harris will get you a better install deal than the big box store, and are likely much easier to schedule. There were no high pressure sales techniques or anything like that. They noticed one of the emergency drain pipes didn’t run all the way outside and got that sorted for me. Just a great experience all around."

"Awesome service!  I called Advanced Plumbing for the first time around midnight when I had a water spewing from a pipe behind my water heater.  I spoke with John who was there within 15 minutes of me calling.  He replaced the pipe and fixed the leak within 30 minutes.  I was worried about it being considered an emergency call and costing more, but he doesn't charge extra for emergency calls.  Great guy and great company!  Highly recommended!!

"They were only one to respond in reasonable time after I posted for the job. Kept me informed when they would arrive. Stayed with job until it was finished. Gave me tips in case of any problems in the future. When water heater has to be replaced will be calling on them to do the installation. I highly recommend them for any water heater/ plumbing job that needs to be done! I definitely recommend using them to anyone."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget.

  • Slower to heat water

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

When the water expands in a hot water heater, it puts pressure on your hot water pipes and can cause leaks or a rupture in the hot water tank under certain conditions. Pipes or water heaters may split due to the pressure where there is a backflow preventer that prevents the hot water heater from diffusing pressure by releasing water back to the public water line.

In these scenarios, a hot water heater expansion tank provides a place for the hot water heater to relieve pressure and prevent bursts and leaks.
