"Great quality work, but he did not complete the job fully, which made me try and do it, which cost me a flooded garage. He did not give us a written quote, so I felt powerless when he increased the price by nearly 400 dollars at the very end. Make sure you get a very detailed quote and be clear that you will expect him to do everything agreed upon, or get the price of anything extra before he does the work. We feel slightly cheated, but the work quality was very good, he just didn't do everything he said he would. But when the job is not completed, and to complete the job would cost you extra money even though it was a simple thing for him to finish, he left at 4pm and said to cap off the remaining tank would be 185 dollars, on top of the extra already paid, it is hard not to feel cheated. He sold me on a professional series tankless, and what I received was a basic Home Depot heater. So buy your own heater and hold him to a written quote price. I would have got more quotes had I knew the price would jump and the heater would be an average heater instead of a professional series. I also would have just bought the heater myself and saved the mark up. Get a very detailed quote and let him know very clearly that you will pay only what is quoted, and if something will cost extra, make sure you know why and what the extra cost will be before he does the job. If you do that, you should not feel taken like we did. The work itself is neat and done right, so take that into account."

"In August 2023, I had a slab leak. Mr. Terry from American Plumbing came and did a leak detection. It was a cold water line slab leak and I had to get 1 cold water line rerouted.. Fast forward to January 2024, some tiles in my floor felt warm to touch which I knew had something to do with pipes. I called Mr. Terry from American Plumbing and he came out that following Monday and performed a leak detection. It was a hot water slab leak from 2 lines. This time, Seth and Logan came out the very next day to reroute 2 hot water lines. One to the washer and one to the kitchen sink. These two guys are so awesome. Again, very knowledgeable and answered every question I had without hesitation and without getting annoyed. This company is top tier. From the initial phone call with Chelsie (both times) to Mr. Terry coming out, to Seth and Logan performing the repairs. I recommend this company everytime."

"Words can’t describe how amazing Josh and Lonnie with Pedigo’s Plumbing are. I found them on Angi after my tank water heater started leaking, and I was nervous about being sold something I didn’t need. But as soon as they arrived, I felt comfortable. They were friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly. They found the leak and let me know I needed a replacement, but instead of pressuring me, they gave me multiple options, including a Navien tankless water heater. Since we always ran out of hot water when multiple people showered, I chose the tankless. They removed the old water heater from the attic with ease, installed the new unit, showed me how it worked, protected my floors, and cleaned everything up. The entire experience was amazing. I now have a plumbing company for life. Josh and Lonnie are the guys to call!"

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.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

Flushing biannually, checking the anode rod, and temperature settings maximize equipment lifespan while reducing surprise costs.

If your water heater is about to celebrate the big 2-0, you may want to consider sending it off to greener pastures. While the water heater may seem to be working well, any conventional, tanked water heater over 10 years of age is at risk of failure. If your water heater is 20 years or older, your best move is to replace your aging heater before it completely breaks down.

Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.
