"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."

"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.

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.

Due to the high temperature, using stainless steel vent pipes for your tankless water heater’s exhaust vent is best. Also, it is safe to use a flexible vent duct as the exhaust fan. If installing the exhaust fan yourself, make sure you are using heat-resistant silicon to connect the exhaust vent and the duct on your water heater.

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.

Heat pump water heaters, also known as hybrid water heaters, are the most efficient types of water heaters—both in terms of carbon emission and energy efficiency. This type of water heater utilizes as little as half of the energy of a traditional water heater while releasing no direct emissions. Tankless water heaters are also extremely efficient, although slightly less so than hybrid heaters.
