They covered my hardwood floors to protect them from possible water damage during the removal of the old tank. The project ran into a hitch when Randy discovered that my house shut off valve was not operational. He was able to get it to "almost close" and he quickly installed a shutoff neat the water heater that would isolate the heater and water softener. Jan kept the work area clear and prepared all the fittings and pipes for installation. Randy installed the new piping and shutoffs in a neat and orderly way. The new tank was installed and operational in a couple of hours. The mess was removed and the old heater was taken away without a drop being spilled on my hardwood floors. My heater has been installed and the piping is city code approved; including a new expansion tank. Having a repair done right; priceless I have an electrical job for him to do in the next month and I am sure to be pleased. He is a great craftsman and works hard. His pricing was very competitive with other plumbing services. He calls himself "Old School", I call him great value and craftsmanship. He treats your house and appliances like he owns them. Perfect results from someone with a long line of experience.

"Work was never done. Contractor was dispatched by Choice Home Warrenty. Arrived late. Charged me for 2 service calls ($130.00) instead of just one as specified by Choice Home Warrenty. Technician submitted the work orders and they were approved. Technician never called Choice oe me to schedule the work. This all began on June 8th. Calls have been made to the technician by Choice and have never been returned. As far as I'm concerned I have had $130 stolen from me by a disreputable and dishonest company. He could not provide a receipt so I took a photo of his Nondriver ID (yes he drove here). 10 days later and still no contact. I will not recommend this company. I will file a complaint with the BBB and have logged a complaint with Choice Home Warrenty as well."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts
Not all types of water heaters require a venting system. Electric tankless water heaters don’t use natural or propane gas, so no venting is required. Instead, they use electric burners to heat water quickly and efficiently. However, any system that does use gas or propane will require ventilation.
Heat pump water heaters, also known as hybrid water heaters, are the most efficient types of water heaters—both in terms of carbon emission and energy efficiency. This type of water heater utilizes as little as half of the energy of a traditional water heater while releasing no direct emissions. Tankless water heaters are also extremely efficient, although slightly less so than hybrid heaters.
It takes between one and three hours to replace a hot water heater element, depending on whether you hire a pro or do the work yourself. For example, a professional plumber with all the necessary tools and experience can often finish the job in one to two hours, whereas DIY will take two to three hours because it'll involve more preparation and troubleshooting.
Water expands when heated and also when freezing. When water is heated, it expands by around 4%. For a full water heater, this is one of the main reasons malfunctions occur—the hot water has nowhere else to go but out. Due to the constant expansion and reduction in volume, it’s recommended (required in most places) that an expansion tank be installed.
Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.
