"They demonstrated excellence in understanding the need, responsiveness, communicating every action to be taken ahead of time, calculating a fair estimate, explaining options for replacement, timeliness, and exceeding all expectations. Our technician, Zach Womer was outstanding in diagnosing the issues with my water heater, recommending replacements by listing the strengths and limitations of each choice, explaining the installation, confirming the availability of the replacement, estimating installation timing accurately, completing the job thoroughly and neatly, and most of all always staying in touch including after the services were provided. Poseidon and Zach are outstanding and deserving of customers' confidence."

First of all, 75 gallon gas water heaters are very difficult to come by at this time.  When I initially called Mr. Stephens, he worked very, very hard to find one for me.  In addition, he gave me the most reasonable quote for the job of the several calls I made.  Furthermore, all of the other companies I called for comparison insisted on making an initial inspection that would cost me.  Mr. Stephens was willing to work off of pictures that I sent him and information that I gave him from an earlier inspection.  He worked on the project from the time I called and even into the evening.  He was extremely professional and I plan to call him in the future for all plumbing needs.  I feel relieved to know that I have a plumber to call on that I can count on that is knowledgeable, reliable and reasonable in price.  I would recommend him to everyone.

Overall, from the very first phone call I made to him, I had the impression he wasn't taking on the job just to make a buck, but he enjoyed his work, and wanted to satisfy his customer and do it right.  He demonstrated this through his consistent efforts in finding the heater and getting the job done quickly so I could have hot water restored quickly.  He could very easily have asked for more money but did the right thing.  He's a gem and a good find!

"They were very professional and did an excellent job when I had them out to service my water heater. I liked them so much, I called them back a few weeks later to do another job for me. While they were there installing a washer pan, my Dad was so impressed that he hired them on the spot to go over to his house to fix a few things."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The average cost to replace a water heater is around $1,325, with a typical range of $900 to $1,800 for a standard replacement. The final price depends on the type of heater (tank vs. tankless), its size, fuel source (gas or electric), and the complexity of the installation. A simple one-to-one replacement will be on the lower end of the cost spectrum. However, if you are switching from one type of heater or energy source to another, you can expect labor costs to be significantly higher due to the extra work involved. It's also worth considering that while gas and electric heaters may have similar upfront costs, their long-term operating costs can differ based on local utility prices.

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.

No state requires you to vent an electric water heater. Other installation requirements for water heaters will vary, though, depending on the state and local jurisdiction in which you live. Some places require permits, while others don’t. Some may force you to place the appliance a certain distance from any walls or other appliances, while others don't. When you find a local professional to install a water heater, this expert will ensure you follow all the local regulations.

When the water expands in a hot water heater, it puts pressure on your hot water pipes and can cause leaks or a rupture in the hot water tank under certain conditions. Pipes or water heaters may split due to the pressure where there is a backflow preventer that prevents the hot water heater from diffusing pressure by releasing water back to the public water line.

In these scenarios, a hot water heater expansion tank provides a place for the hot water heater to relieve pressure and prevent bursts and leaks.

The size needed for your expansion tank is determined by the size of your home's water heater. Expansion tanks are available in 2-gallon and 4.5-gallon sizes. A 2-gallon tank will be appropriate for water heaters up to 50 gallons. An adequately sized tank should have a volume that equals 2% to 5% of the water volume within the system. A plumber can evaluate your home's water pressure, water heater size, and other factors to provide suggestions for picking out the best expansion tank.
