"My overall experience with Porterhouse Heating & Cooling was very good. I called and requested same-day service due to a gas leak. Porterhouse Heating & Cooling came out that day, replaced the shut-off ball valve, and tested the system after the repair was complete. Also Porterhouse Heating & Cooling ensured the tankless water heater was operable since gas to the house had been shut-off due to the gas leak. Additionally, I had them to conduct my annual preventative maintenance on both furnaces. This was my third (3rd) time using Porterhouse Heating & Cooling. I find them to be responsive, knowledgeable, and customer-focused."

"On November 15th Chicago was hit with some extreme wind gusts that caused my water heater pilot light to extinguish. I thought this was a simple reset, but the problem was more complicated. I learned the electrode was defective. Had I undertaken this project as a DIY, I would have spent more time than I would have cared to try to figure out why I could not get a flame for my water heater. I was smart to call Four Seasons. My technician figured out the problem quickly. There are times when calling a professional makes sense. I am not an expert on water heaters outside of knowing how to turn it on, clean it periodically, and knowing when I need a new one. Thank you Four Seasons for responding quickly and bringing me hot water."

"Patrick was very responsive to my texts relates to product information and quotes. He is very knowledgeable about the trade and he is great with customers. His service was prompt and the installation went smoothly. After the installation, I referred another friend to Patrick on water heater replacement."

"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."

"Outstanding!  We had TDH replace a 20+ year conventional boiler with a high efficiency boiler/hot water heater.  We received proposals from four companies, and chose TDH because they seemed to have the best overall plan and the price was reasonable.  Every phase of the operation went smoothly.  Tim, the owner, met with us twice before we accepted the proposal.  The contract was specific in terms of the work to be done and the equipment to be installed.  The project was started on the date we had set.  The technicians spent three 10-hour days installing the unit which included three thermostats/heating zones with three circulating pumps.  The workers arrived promptly at 7a.m. each morning and were professional, polite, and efficient.  When the installation was complete, Gene and Art tested every function and checked for leaks.  They also explained how the thermostats worked and showed us how to use all the controls on the unit (shut off valves, power switches, etc.).  We also have all the instruction and installation booklets on everything that was installed.  They actually left the basement cleaner than when they had arrived.  Tim called us the day after the installation to follow up with us and gave us some tips on basic maintenance.  Overall, we are very pleased with TDH and plan to use them in the spring to install an HVAC system."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Storage, tankless, heat pumps, and solar water heaters each suit specific space constraints, usage needs, and efficiency preferences.

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.

You can use multiple tankless water heaters, but that doesn’t mean you should. Adding multiple tankless heaters adds considerable cost to your home in both parts and installation costs. Also, you’re adding many more points of failure in the system, making plumbing issues harder to diagnose. More heaters mean more maintenance, and insurers may want a word regarding the increased risk of water damage. A single, larger unit makes more sense in most situations.

While not all homes require a hot water heater expansion tank, they are necessary in most newer homes and are often mandated by local building codes. Codes typically require an expansion tank if your plumbing system is a 'closed-loop' system, which often includes a backflow preventer or pressure regulator on the main water line. Some municipalities have specific requirements. Installing an expansion tank on a closed system is crucial, as it prevents excess pressure that can damage your water heater and other appliances, potentially shortening their lifespan. However, tankless water heaters do not require an expansion tank.

Yes, most municipalities have codes that require water heaters to have pans. A pan is necessary when a water heater or hot water storage tank is installed in an area where water leakage could cause damage, such as an attic, second floor, or finished basement. Tankless water heaters are not required to have a pan since there is no storage tank.
