"Kevin was sent to my house to rewire a thermostat 5/17/24. Everything seemed great and I paid my $100 warranty call out fee. I needed to get the unit cleaned before he would rewire my thermostat. We set an appointment for 6/17/24. Today is 7/7/24 and Kevin has missed 6 appointments to date. I have already paid a call out fee for no thermostat to be rewired and he has stopped answering calls. Before today, his tech Josh was always "on the way" or I "would be the first appointment the next morning" but he will not give me any contact information for this tech. I have paid his company to do the work and have sat at home all day for 6 different days waiting on someone to show or at least call and cancel and no work has been completed."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

Unless you have previous plumbing experience or extensive experience with water heaters, you should avoid replacing your electric water heater yourself. This process involves disconnecting wiring and parts from the old water heater and reinstalling them onto the new one, among other difficult tasks. This job is best left to the pros to make sure that everything is connected correctly to avoid serious leaks or malfunctions.

Signs your water heater is about to fail include: a unit older than ten years, rust water coming from your faucets, banging and rumbling noises when you call for hot water, and leaks coming from the tank. You might also notice a foul odor when you turn on your hot water, akin to rotten eggs or sulfur. Of course, your water heater might also need replacement if your water doesn’t stay hot or takes longer to heat up.

The average cost to replace a water heater is $1,325. How much your replacement heater costs depends on the type, size, and complexity of installation. Gas and electric heaters may cost a similar amount out of pocket, but one type may cost more to operate than the other, depending on the cost of utilities in your area.
