"Bobby L. Greene Plumbing, Heating And Cooling is a family business that began in Shreveport well over 60 years ago. Bobby and his wife, Doris, began working out of their home with an old typewriter, a card table, and one truck.\n\nPublic demand allowed him to grow and today the family business includes a number of family members, several employees, and vehicles.\n\nAbout Bobby L. Greene Plumbing & Heating Co.\n\nSeveral years ago, Ricky took over the everyday operation of the company for his father. Both of Ricky’s sons, Justin and Michael, have earned their Master’s Plumbers Licenses and share daily responsibilities along with their Dad. Like the rest of the Greene family, Justin and Michael have worked since they were 8 years old learning the business from the ground up."

"performed the job to great satisfaction, did their best to keep all the dirty stuff off my floors, cleaned up their mess as they went. water heater was in the attic and my wife had concerns it would fall through the roof, the plumber ensured her that it was properly installed from the previous plumbers/ builder. that it was on a stable platform and that things would be good soon. overall we were pleased with the service we received.

"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

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.

Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy — noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump’s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it’s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

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