"I called Sunday afternoon, and I spoke to Frank directly. He got my information and asked me to send pictures. He gave me a quote, and said that he would try to get the water heater the next morning and, if he did, he would get it installed by the afternoon. He called Monday morning saying that he got it and that he would place be coming to replace it in about two hours. He showed up before that and got the job done in about an hour. Overall, I was able to get the water heater replaced in less than 24 hours. I was very happy with work done and the promptness."

"Peter was here with the new 50 gallon hot water heater within the hour of my initial call to him. He did a fantastic job of removing and installing the new hot water heater in my attic. Prompt, professional, and very courteous. Already referred him to my neighbors and I will hire him again. Jack. Folsom, LA"

"From the initial conversation with Craig Johnson to completion of installation, the service was Excellent and the skillful professionalism of the technicians was Outstanding. We had a replacement of a Trane Heating and Air Conditioning System performed by Surgi's. Craig arranged for Art to come to our home and he evaluated our needs not just for today but for tomorrow.  He answered my questions at that time and after a few days, I had additional questions/concerns and Dale was available to respond.  After we chose theTrane system that fit our needs, we set the date and were delighted to have the team of Walter and Romalis working in our home, This was not a typical job due to the location of the coils and heater but they took extreme care of my flooring, art work and furnishings on 2 levels.  We also required a new exterior pad for the condensor and this too was  installed to our satisfaction. Dale also came to our home during installation. Once the job was complete, there was no sign that an extensive 2 day job had been performed, all debris had been removed!  We've never in the past felt a comfort level with a contracting company as we had with Surgi's. Even after installation, I contacted Craig with additional questions and as he had done prior to installation, was available; not briefly but for an extended period of time.  So very happy with our Trane system (AC now) and with Surgi's. Craig, Art, Dale & Walter all explained how our chosen system would  function and it's operating as they indicated. When it's time for the heater to be utitlized and if there are questions, we feel confident that they will be answered.  We certainly plan on using Surgi's for all our future AC/HVAC needs.

"Jonathan and Daniel was able to accommodate my repair in between two jobs due for which I appreciated because of the repair needed I had to turn my water off. So, getting this repair done was of utmost important. The two gentlemen were very courteous and professional. They completed the job to my satisfaction. They seemed very knowledgeable of what they were doing working in concert with each other. I would definitely use them again for my plumbing needs."

"Chris DiMarco is the only plumber I will call. He was on time. I received a message that he was on his way. He located the leak in the bathroom wall quickly, repaired it efficiently and also replaced an old faucet. The price was reasonable. He seems like a real nice man."

"We couldn?t be happier with the custom TV unit Lawrence built for us! He designed and crafted beautiful cypress cabinets and floating shelves that completely transformed our living space. The electric fireplace adds a cozy, modern touch, and the extra hidden storage is genius?perfect for keeping things organized without clutter. Lawrence was professional, detail-oriented, and knew exactly how to bring our vision to life. The quality of his work is outstanding, and he finished everything on time. Highly recommend him for any custom carpentry project!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit’s capacity. The amount of time it takes to drain a water heater averages from 10 to 30 minutes.

You should replace your gas water heater when it’s reached the end of its lifespan, which is a maximum of 12 years in most cases. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency, leaks, or frequent malfunctions, it may be time to replace your water heater. Research how to best maintain your gas water heater to help extend its lifespan.

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.

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.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget.
