"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."

"Our water heater sprung a leak and proceeded to leak in our laundry room.
 I checked Angie's List that evening and sent message to Young Plumbing for service.
Young Plumbing contacted me first thing in the morning for appointment.
Two service men came out and removed old water heater and mess of wrapping around water heater.
They replaced with new water heater from their truck.  Completed all plumbing that was needed with copper tubing and added two shut off valves to help us out in the future with any plumbing problems.
The men that came out were very pleasant, quick and efficient.  They explained everything to us about the new equipment.
Also, they cleaned up everything and the laundry room looked great! . I would certainly recommend for service and response time.  The price was higher than I thought, but I am happy to have it all done within one hour without any fuss or mess.
Thank you.

"Justin was amazing to work with and he used his skill to creat something unique. We used a 300 gallon pond as a filter for a 12,000 gallon pond. He used check valves to prevent back flow, adjustable valves to control the flow, and piping for aeration that requires only gravity to flow effectively."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

When installing a new furnace, it's a good time to consider other projects that can enhance your home's energy efficiency. A great first step is to get a home energy audit, which will identify areas for improvement. Common recommendations include sealing or replacing windows and adding insulation to the attic. These upgrades can help you save money on monthly utility costs. You might also consider installing a smart thermostat to make heating your home more convenient and efficient.

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.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.

There are many issues that can cause cold showers, but the most likely is a problem with your water heater, especially if other fixtures also don’t get hot water. If it’s just your shower not getting hot water, you likely have a broken or damaged shower cartridge. You can replace this yourself or hire a plumber to do the work for you if you’re not comfortable working with plumbing.
