"Our water heater broke and my neighbor recommended Habitat Heroes. They came the same day, gave a great estimate and had a brand new water heater installed the next afternoon. Very nice work, cleaned up after themselves, didn't make a huge mess. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend. I also hired them for a new bathroom that should be happening spring 2026, will send updates with pics."

"We hired Da Vinci to install new water service and sewer connection to municipal water. The initial challenge was obtaining permits from 3 jurisdictions. Mike from Da Vinci took care of all administrative and legal requirements. He refused to let the bureaucracy stall the project. Once permits were in hand, work commenced immediately. Da Vinci OWNS all tools and equipment required to install underground work. No delays for equipment rental! Work proceeded quickly and efficiently. Mike kept us updated on progress and when he expected to be complete. A pleasure to work with. Highly recommended."

"My old hot water heater died, and a friend installed a new small 40 gal tank. But I never had hot water after that. I also had a leaking lead pipe. Patrick came and had to be a sleuth to try to determine the cause of the missing hot water. The tank was too small and not functioning, but the real problem was a crossed pipe somewhere in my 1890 house. He found the pipe location in the basement and put in a shut off valve, which gave most of the house hot water. He also put in a high quality 50 gallon tank, and repaired the leaking lead main. To completely fix the hot water, it will mean opening walls, so we left a small 1/2 bath sink and attic sink to be fixed at a later time (or not....).. This was all around Easter, but he put in long days to get it all done."

"They gave me several choices for the water heater where other companies only carried one or at least did not offer others. I also appreciated the fact that they gave me a quote over the phone. They were knowledgeable about their craft and expedited the installation once I had made a decision. I also liked that I could buy the toilet myself and they quoted just the installation so I did not have to pay the mark up for the hardscape. I am changing all of my plumbing needs to this company."

"I coordinated the work with Mr. Rooter's home office. Unfortunately, they didn't relay to the technician that he needed certain materials to get the job done. This caused about a 60 minutes of extra time for the technician to search around for the part and then go pick it up. Other than that, the water heater gas control valve was successfully installed and I've got hot water again."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your hot water heater is not hot enough. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade.

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.

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.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.
