"Initially I found this company on Yelp but I was even more pleased to see the favorable reviews at Angi's website. I made contact Dec 3, 2023 with Aaron and supplied him with the list of plumbing repairs. After more than 3 weeks he contacted me on Dec 27 to apologize that he got tied up with a large project but would be able to schedule early the following week. To date (Feb 29, 2024) there has been no callback from Aaron. The repairs are now an emergency with a March 31, 2024 deadline.   As a longtime member of Angi's list and born and raised in Hawaii, I thought I was hiring the best person for the job. Instead I am thoroughly disappointed and disheartened. So much so I felt I needed to share my experience. Frankly, I would have had more respect if Aaron had just told me up front that he wasn't interested or didn't want to take the job so I could hire someone else more responsive, efficient and professional."

"Nick was extremely helpful and highly professional. He was very patient as my home was found to have multiple unknown plumbing leaks, but he was exceptionally knowledgeable and fixed all my issues timely. Nick also replaced the shower in my bathroom that needed to be updated and installed according to new plumbing codes. I would award him 10 stars if given that option and highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs - residential and commercial. High quality service and very professional."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

While many older homes don’t need hot water heater expansion tanks, they’re necessary in most newer homes and are required by building codes. These tanks are required by code in areas where there are backflow preventers or pressure regulators on the incoming water pipe between the public water pipes and the water heater. However, tankless water heaters don’t require expansion tanks.

Examples include gas stoves, ovens, and water heaters. Confirm with your provider for specific items.

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.

Yes, you can replace a current tank water heater with a tankless model or vice versa. If you’re maintaining the same fuel source—gas or electricity—the switchover should be smooth. A conventional tank requires open floor space, while a tankless model can be wall-mounted. If you’re switching to a tank water heater, you might need to clear space for it. Gas-powered tankless water heaters need a large volume of gas when they start running to heat the water instantly. You might need to increase the size of the gas line when going from a tank to a tankless model.
