Q: Do hot water heaters use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they&rsquo;re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gas-vs-electric-water-heaters.htm">gas water heaters versus electric water heaters</a> may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.</p></div>

Q: Should I get a tankless water heater?

• <div><p>Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-a-tankless-water-heater-worth-it.htm">Is a tankless water heater worth it</a>? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy. </p></div>

Q: How do hot water heater expansion tanks work?

• <div><p>When the water expands in a hot water heater, it puts pressure on your hot water pipes and can cause leaks or a rupture in the hot water tank under certain conditions. Pipes or water heaters may split due to the pressure where there is a backflow preventer that prevents the hot water heater from diffusing pressure by releasing water back to the public water line.</p><p>In these scenarios, a hot water heater expansion tank provides a place for the hot water heater to relieve pressure and prevent bursts and leaks.</p></div>

Q: What happens if a water heater is not vented properly?

• <div><p>If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what&rsquo;s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn&rsquo;t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. </p><p>Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there&rsquo;s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.</p></div>

Q: How long does an electric water heater last?

• <div><p>If your water heater continues to have issues, you may wonder <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-electric-water-heater-last.htm">how long an electric water heat lasts</a>. On average, these units last between 10 to 15 years. Following a proper maintenance schedule can help the water heater live to the end of its average lifespan or longer.</p></div>

"I would NEVER use this company for a job. Got a quote, when they came out to do the work they said it would be twice as much as the quote. When I called in to escalate to find out why. They said that guy now doesn't work for the company but since I am existing customer I have to go thru the customer experience department to get someone else to come out AND no one ever returns my calls. Worst COMPANY EVER! They did the same thing to my brother!"

"First I would like to say that everyone I dealt with at ICSR was great! From Erika who made the appointments to Jeremiah who did the inspection, to Terry and his crew. They were all friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. Jeremiah explained in detail what needed done in my crawlspace. There was a lot of damage due to termites in the past. I knew this was what needed done as I had another Company look at it as well. They backed out because they thought the crawlspace was to narrow to get the work done. I agreed to Jeremiah's plan and about two weeks later Larry and his crew came out to do the work. I will say it again, Larry and his crew were great. They worked so hard and in horrible heat and humidity. They were always friendly and smiled when I saw them. Larry always let me know what they got done that day, and what the plan was for the next. They cleaned up the work area, and took away any and all debris. I have full faith in ICSR and Larry and his crew that the repairs were done right. I am so glad the plan with the other company fell through, as I think I ended up with the best!"
