"We were very happy with American Family. Their bid was competitive and the installation of our new air conditioner went very smoothly. They removed the existing system and were great about not destroying our landscape. We had them install the new system in a new location, away from the back patio. So far everything seems to be running fine and I would happily recommend them to anyone."

"I had a 20+ year old water heater. The expansion tank developed a leak. I contacted Wagner and Sons. Mike gave me a suggestion to temporarily fix the leak. After discussion I contracted him and his son to replace the water heater and expansion tank. He said he could be there at 12:00PM on Monday. He was right on time. He replaced the water heater and the expansion tank in just over one hour. Hauled away the old heater for free."

"Very, very happy with the services Toptec provided. I used them for installing a new hot water heater, installing a new furnace, and some minor electrical work. First of all, very professional. Brian came out, talked to me about what I needed and wanted, and gave me some suggestions. He provided a quote that gave me a few options, with absolutely no pressure to upgrade or add on services. The quote was more than competitive with other contractors I talked to. After I agreed to the contract, Toptec had Brian and John out to perform the work the following day. Both were very professional, clean, and the work looks superior. Immediately following my good experience, I had a minor electrical problem. Called Toptec and they had Gary out to my house in 45 minutes. Again, top of the line professional who figured out a weird wiring situation. When I go to upgrade my electrical I will definitely use Toptec and request Gary. Highly recommend this company."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

The size needed for your expansion tank is determined by the size of your home's water heater. Expansion tanks are available in 2-gallon and 4.5-gallon sizes. A 2-gallon tank will be appropriate for water heaters up to 50 gallons. An adequately sized tank should have a volume that equals 2% to 5% of the water volume within the system. A plumber can evaluate your home's water pressure, water heater size, and other factors to provide suggestions for picking out the best expansion tank.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
