"Andy and his helper were INCREDIBLY respectful, punctual, and competent. Andy showed me what was wrong with my leaking shower head before/after repair and stepped me through the whole process. The total cost was cheaper compared to other plumbers and he took the time to show me how I could prevent other water damage in my shower stall. He made sure everything was cleaned up afterwards. More importantly, he was very nice and easy to work with. I highly recommend his services for any plumbing repairs."

"I sent an inquiry through Home Advisor the night my water heater started leaking and Bob called me bright and early the very next morning. He was professional, pleasant and replacement pricing was very reasonable. He and his plumber treated my home with respect by putting down drop cloths and they were quick with the replacement! They now have a customer for life."

"Lal personally came out to size my hot water heater replacement project, gave me a fair quote on the spot and was flexible in scheduling the work. He and his team were on-time the day of the replacement and did a tidy job replacing all connections and the drain pan. I was very pleased with their workmanship."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

You can use multiple tankless water heaters, but that doesn’t mean you should. Adding multiple tankless heaters adds considerable cost to your home in both parts and installation costs. Also, you’re adding many more points of failure in the system, making plumbing issues harder to diagnose. More heaters mean more maintenance, and insurers may want a word regarding the increased risk of water damage. A single, larger unit makes more sense in most situations.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

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.
