"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

There are pros and cons to tankless water heaters. They are more efficient than traditional tank water heaters, and maintenance costs are lower. These units are also much more compact. On the other hand, they cost about twice as much to install as traditional tank water heaters and are more limited in terms of flow rate.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

If your water heater continues to have issues, you may wonder how long an electric water heat lasts. On average, these units last between 10 to 15 years. Following a proper maintenance schedule can help the water heater live to the end of its average lifespan or longer.

The good news is that most home warranty plans cover hot water heaters, regardless of whether you have a tank or a tankless model. Your hot water heater should be covered by your home warranty because it's considered an essential home appliance.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.
