"I am very pleased with the great customer service I received from Mike D. at Lifeline Plumbing for the replacement of my 16 year old water heater. Mike had a great personable, upbeat personality, a great attitude, and with his 18 years of experience, he was confident as well. When going over my options, he was patient, not pushy. He made sure I was confident with my decision. I felt comfortable with him and I also trusted him. He was professional, fast, and efficient. I would highly recommend Mike for your needs as well. I know you will be very happy with his service."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

The average cost to install a new water heater is approximately $1,300, with a typical price range between $880 and $1,800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, its location and accessibility, and the amount of labor required. For example, installing a unit in a tight space like a crawl space can increase labor costs. The type of water heater significantly impacts the price: while a conventional gas heater might cost less than $1,000, tankless models can cost around $2,600 to install (and up to $3,500), and solar heaters can cost upwards of $3,700. Other factors that can affect the total price include the fuel type, vent system requirements, permits, and whether any additional plumbing work or repairs from previous water heater damage are needed.

Flushing biannually, checking the anode rod, and temperature settings maximize equipment lifespan while reducing surprise costs.
