"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."

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.

"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."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. 

Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.

A well-maintained hot water recirculating pump can last 5 to 15 years. Pumps that run continuously may have a shorter lifespan than demand-controlled models. Hard water can reduce longevity by causing mineral buildup in the pump and pipes. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing filters, can extend the pump’s lifespan.

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.
