"Had problems with the water heater.  Called Rheem company and they fed-exed overnight all the necessary parts to fix the problem.  Called Fosters and scheduled a service call.  The service person arrived promptly at the time and date scheduled.  Was able to remove the old parts and install all the new parts in a very efficient manner.  Took a little over an hour to complete.  We were very happy with the service and the cost.

"Mike was able to fit me in same day, arrived on time, was very friendly to our children and dogs when he entered our home.. He was quick to figure out what repair was needed and was able to fix the problem quickly while performing excellent quality in his work. While Mike was in our home I had him look at our water softener and water heater as we will need those replaced in near future. I was explaining the problems we were having as we walked to the basement, within a matter of seconds of looking at our piping he noticed a by pass valve was in the wrong position. Mike informed us we may not need to purchase new just yet, as he told us to give this a week or so and see if this fixes out issues we were having. Plumb Co is very affordable without losing the quality in their work, I would highly recommend them to anyone needing plumb work and will be contacting them for future work in our home."

"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

"We had to call in a plumber for an emergency repair, this other plumber also quoted pipe replacement, but would have required an additional contractor for the finish work.
I searched Angies list and found some candidates for the total job including Madisons Plumbing(Plumber and Carpenter in One). Some further research on individual websites indicated that Patrick Madison would be a good fit.
At first he didn't want to quote because he didn't realize the extent of the remodel type of work and another contractor had already been involved for the emergency repair. I convinced him that this job was right up his alley. He set a date one or two days out and visited the site for quote. He replied the next day with an estimate of 17 man days and an attractive rate base on the extent of the work. I decided that he was the man for the job but he would need to add a man to expedite the completion of the job, as we would need to get our parents out of the house for the duration of the work.
Start and completion dates were set, he and his assistant arrived on time and made great progress every day.
I selected and supplied tiles and grout. (Just in time because the job progress was so fast)
Adders were: 1)Grab Bar in the shower. 2)Replacement Toilet. 3)Island style venting for the kitchen sink. 4)Power vent water heater, pvc vent pipe, electrical outlet for water heater.
He finished half a day early and essentially the only added cost was the purchase price of the water heater. There was enough in the original material estimate to cover the toilet and misc. hardware.
During the job the worksite was cleaned and maintained presentable. Plastic sheeting was used to control dust. Tarps were used to protect floors. Cleanup after the job was very good. Yes there was a very light dusting from the drywall work in much of the house and some light debris was overlooked in one room. Overall much better than I would have expected.
I told him about some of the things that I was doing after the job and he offered to do it for me, I declined and he offered suggestions and resource info.
I WILL call him again with more work in the future!!!!

Water Heaters questions, 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.

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

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.

Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy — noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump’s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it’s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.
