"On 6/15/2021, we had Handy Mania come to our home to install drywall with electric in the wall in order to create a room for our son. The team that installed the wall was not able to do the electric, but put up the wall anyway without informing me. They also did not install the door to the room correctly and does not close properly, which will no cost me an additional $125 to have fixed. The electric should have only cost $100 but I had to pay $350 for the electric due to the wall being up. His resolution was that he cut holes for the electrician but the guy that came to patch the holes did a horrible job. My paid invoice included texturing which I did not receive. I have asked for itemized bills but was told that was hard because he invoiced on a project basis. I have tried to reach out but last time via phone, he hung up on us and has now not responded to us for over 2 weeks. I paid the full amount and would expect a wall that I was happy with"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Water heaters seldom ever burst, but when they do, you should know the warning signs to protect your home. The biggest sign that your water heater is about to burst is a sulfuric smell. If your home inexplicably smells like rotten eggs, then this could be an indication of a gas leak in your gas water heater. If gas leaks out of the unit, it could ignite and cause an explosion, so you should immediately shut off the gas and call a plumber near you to inspect your water heater.

How long do water heaters last? The average tank-style hot water heater will last 8 to 12 years, while a tankless water heater may last up to 20 years. Large families that use a lot of hot water will put more stress on the unit, potentially shortening its lifespan. Regular maintenance and repairs can lengthen the unit’s lifespan.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Water heater replacement costs around $1,300, but a total install will depend on a few factors. Solar heaters can cost upward of $3,700, while conventional gas heaters may cost less than $1,000. Tankless water heaters, common in apartments and homes without much space, cost around $2,600 to install. Expect the cost to increase significantly if new plumbing is required, or if there is damage from a previous water heater malfunctioning. 

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
