"Elec72I started with using "Richard the Handyman" for a request to replace 2  sets of french door and some other sheet rock work that I had in the
house.  He did an excellent job on the doors and sheet rock repairs. In fact, I used Richard for about 2 to 4 weeks straight to make repairs to a rental house. Between Richard's work and the landscaper, the leasing agent wanted to sell the house due to the fact that it looked too good to be marketed as a rental. Ultimately, It was rented. What I  can say about Richard that his word is good.  He charges you what he says, shows up when he is suppose too, and finishes the job or jobs before moving onto his next client.  I used Richard to do the following  and I thought all of his work was very good and some of it was pure excellent.  He did the following; 1) Replaced 2 sets of french doors. The doors did not fit right that I had ordered.  He worked around the problem and came up with a great solution, 2) replaced a 32" basement door, 3) repaired sheet rock in walls,  4) repaired 3 or 4 spots in stippled ceilings.  Out of the 4, only one was the repair obvious.  You could not see the repair on the other 3.  5) He leveled a tub for me and
repaired all damage to sheet rock and tile. 6) He painted the living room and ceiling.  His paint work is excellent.  7) He repaired appliances for me. 8) He installed a microwave, bathroom fan, security light, repaired a wiring issues, 9) installed 2 toilets and snaked the pipes for me. 10) He replaced a water heater and repaired an outdoor bid hose faucet.  11) he installed a sump pump in my crawlspace to deal with water problem.  12) He repaired carpet, cleaned carpet, and did a touch up job on the house to make it more appealing.  13) He pressure washed the exterior. Overall, Richard did a great job and will do about any job that you have.  He is honest and never deceived or took anything from me and kept his word through the 4 weeks.  When he could find a way to save me money, he did. What else is to be said."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.

You have more options for water heaters than ever before. The best one for your home depends on your hot water usage and budget. Some of the more common types of water heaters are the conventional gas heater, a heat pump water heater, or a tankless heater for smaller homes or those with less water demands. Some uncommon types are solar and point-of-use systems. Some homes may have a combination of two units, such as a large heat pump heater and a backup point-of-use system.

Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.

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.

We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.

Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.
