Q: Are electric water heater venting and installation requirements the same from state to state?

• <div><p>No state requires you to vent an electric water heater. Other installation requirements for water heaters will vary, though, depending on the state and local jurisdiction in which you live. Some places require permits, while others don&rsquo;t. Some may force you to place the appliance a certain distance from any walls or other appliances, while others don't. When you find a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-can-install-water-heater.htm">local professional to install a water heater</a>, this expert will ensure you follow all the local regulations. </p></div>

Q: How big should a hot water heater expansion tank be?

• <div><p>The size needed for your expansion tank is determined by the size of your home's water heater. Expansion tanks are available in 2-gallon and 4.5-gallon sizes. A 2-gallon tank will be appropriate for water heaters up to 50 gallons. An adequately sized tank should have a volume that equals 2% to 5% of the water volume within the system. A plumber can evaluate your home's water pressure, water heater size, and other factors to provide suggestions for picking out the best expansion tank.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a water heater by myself?

• <div><p>While possible, professional assistance is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations and avoidance of avoidable risks.</p></div>

Q: Can you convert a gas water heater to electric?

• <div><p>You can convert a gas heater to electric, but it isn&rsquo;t as simple as swapping a plug or two. First of all, you need to make sure there&rsquo;s adequate power to the unit, as electric units require much higher power amounts versus gas. Then, you need to close off the gas lines and ventilation. Make sure you don&rsquo;t also need a permit for an electric water heater&mdash;some cities require it. Making the switch can cost upwards of<b> $1,500</b>.</p></div>

Q: How long do gas water heaters last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-gas-water-heater-last.htm">Gas water heaters last</a> between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don&rsquo;t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. </p></div>

Michael repaired water damage to our living room ceiling. This included repairing drywall, mudding and texturing ceiling and repainting the ceiling in the living room and hallway. He was always polite, very responsive with all communications, was always on time, and helpful in all ways.

"I typically do not leave reviews, but my experience with Tom Drexler Plumbing was so poor that I feel compelled to share it in hopes of preventing others from wasting their time and money. I initially contacted the company to address a leaking faucet in a spare bathroom. I was given a vague appointment window of 8 AM to 5 PM and informed that if I didn’t answer a call prior to their arrival, the technician would not show up. When the technician arrived, he spent time criticizing the company’s hiring practices rather than focusing on the repair. He determined that a full tub and shower replacement was needed, quoting over $1,000. The work could not be done the same day, requiring me to schedule another appointment. The technician arrived late and took the entire day to complete the job, spending a significant portion of time sitting on my staircase visibly exhausted. The installation was subpar—both the faucet and showerhead were protruding nearly two inches from the wall, and the showerhead was visibly crooked. The faucet and showerhead were protruding so far out they couldn't even be caulked. My wife documented the issues with photos. She sent them to me after the tech left. I immediately called Tom Drexler, informed them of the subpar work, and requested a different technician to correct the poor workmanship. A new technician arrived the following week and made the necessary adjustments. However, within four days of using the shower, a leak developed in the ceiling of the kitchen below, and our toilet began leaking from the base when flushed—suggesting possible plumbing pressure or blockage issues. I contacted the company again and scheduled yet another appointment. Despite being given the same 8 AM to 5 PM time frame, no one showed up, and I had to follow up myself to learn the technician wasn’t coming. Eventually, another technician did visit and claimed the ceiling leak was due to "residual water" and dismissed the toilet issue. When the ceiling stain continued to grow, I called again and requested a supervisor. The supervisor came a week later, concluded that the issue wasn’t related to their work, and left without offering any solutions. Altogether, I had to take four days off work to accommodate this series of visits. I now need to hire another plumber from a different company to resolve the ongoing leak. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Tom Drexler Plumbing. The quality of work, communication, and overall customer service were consistently poor throughout the entire process."
