"We love our new shower! Our bathroom needed an update from its original 2001 build, and we needed a custom sized larger shower to replace the small one we had. Alex took time to sit with us and discuss our needs and came up with a solution. He and his team were wonderful to work with and we couldn’t be happier!"

"Felix was very nice and professional. Bad refrigerator heater that needed replacing. Very fast service. I called him and he came and completed service the same day. Refrigerator heater part cost between $20-$40 based on my thorough internet searches but my bill was $458. So I guess I paid $400 in labor and the job took less than 1 hour to complete. There are DIY videos on YouTube and I couldve did this repair myself. My receipt was not itemized. Would not use again would not recommend."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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

The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit’s capacity. The amount of time it takes to drain a water heater averages from 10 to 30 minutes.

On average, a tankless water heater should last between 10 and 15 years. Its lifespan will be affected by how much it's used, the effect of weather where your home is on the unit—colder is harsher and will shorten lifespan—and if the heater is maintained appropriately and regularly. There are many signs your water heater needs to be replaced, so pay attention to anything that changes with your heater or hot water.

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.

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.
