"DO NOT HIRE GUNLOCK, specifically do not hire Caleb Gunlock. If possible, to give a lower rating, I would. There is a reason why They are rated so low with only a handful of ratings and only 1 being positive. They were paid to install and hook up an outdoor wood boiler. They came out and claimed to know what they were doing. Signed off on work. Now I am stuck with a outdoor wood boiler system that does not work. It does not heat either the shop or house. The OWB is working perfectly. They did not bleed the system. They fired up the system without checking their pipes. So my pumps ran dry for several hours due to their negligence Just not the parts they were hired to hook up and install. And to make it better my original heat that was working first is now not working. So, I am stuck with no heat with a wife and 2 under 5 kids. They agreed to complete work. Said they completed the work. Which they did not. When I approached them about making it correct Caleb told me to " MAKE MY DAY" This is the worst company I have ever hired. They said that all parts are included when they bid the job. Then tried to make me pay for adapters and argued about that. Caleb Gunlock is a spineless coward. Called me a liar to my face, and when confronted stumbled over his own words. Would not honor the agreement that was listed out on the invoice. caleb gunlock WILL NOT BE A MAN OF HIS WORD AND STAND BEHIND IT!!!! I now need to hire another company to fix what they messed up. I highly suggest someone else that has a better knowledge of how to properly do the work."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.

The average cost to replace a water heater is $1,325. How much your replacement heater costs depends on the type, size, and complexity of installation. Gas and electric heaters may cost a similar amount out of pocket, but one type may cost more to operate than the other, depending on the cost of utilities in your area.

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.

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.

Installing a water heater costs about $1,300 on average. The overall price ranges from as low as $880 to as high as $1,800, depending on the type of water heater and any additional plumbing work required to fit the new water heater. Other cost factors for this type of installation include the tank size, tank vs. tankless, fuel type, vent system, permits, location, and labor cost for installation.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.
