"I was not familiar with JL Anderson until reading all the positive reviews on Angie's List, so we decided to give them a try.  Joe Kollman arrived right on time for our appointment and was very knowledgeable and patient answering my multitude of questions and subsequent e-mails before we finally made a decision.  We were originally going to replace just our 20 year-old air conditioner but decided to have them replace the furnace as well so we could have two stage heat and a variable speed blower.  Our furnace was also 9 years old and noisy.  We have a zoned system with two thermostats, and Joe completely understood what was needed to recommend the best option.  The installers, Kirt and Cody, were extremely courteous and showed up on time.  The HVAC installation took the better part of two days as expected, and they got enough done the first day such that the house was warm when we got home from work and through the night.  They were very respectful of our house and left our basement cleaner than when they arrived!  Their installation was the very best I've seen.  Ironically, the night we were to review work with Joe, we discovered that our water heater had started to leak.  Joe was able to rearrange appointments the next day to have Kirt and Cody back out to do the water heater replacement.  Joe checked available options and reviewed those with me starting early the following morning.  He made a special trip to our house to make sure the new water heater would fit and and was back out with the new unit in his truck staying to help his guys carry it to the basement (since we upgraded to a 75 gallon model due to teenagers in the house).  In less than 24 hours, we had a new water heater and hot water.  The entire system is amazingly quiet compared to our old equipment.  I can't say enough about Joe, Kirt, and Cody and would highly recommend JL Anderson."

"The initial response was very quick and Jeremy gave us a thorough explanation of what to expect. The very next morning, he was able to come to our house, check out our water heater and go over everything that it was going to take to replace the old unit. We found that this company, Water Heaters Express, was very professional, knowledgeable, and had the experience that we wanted when it came to replacing our older unit. Could not believe how quickly the job was completed from start to finish!! Would absolutely recommend Water Express Heaters, veteran owned and operated!!!"

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener. 

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
