"I purchased a heat pump electric water heater to take advantage of a generous rebate from Efficiency Maine. When looking for someone to install it I was referred to Jophil by a real estate company that I know. I called and was given a time that Kyle would arrive to give an estimate and perform the installation (if the estimate was accepted). I did accept the estimate and Kyle got right to work. He did a nice job and made sure that everything was in good working order before he left. I was very pleased with my first experience with this company and would not hesitate to call on them again in the future."

"We had been experiencing a loss of hot water.  I noticed that often the ignitor would spark but the burner would not light.  I have used MultiSpec Inc. / Aire Serv of Southern Maine in the past to troubleshoot and replace a faulty gas valve in the same water heater so they were my first call in this most recent problem.
I placed a total of three separate service calls on this issue.  The first was about 10 months ago and the service technician could not duplicate the problem.  The second call was a couple months ago and the service technician was able to duplicate the problem and cleaned components on the ignitor but unfortunately this did not correct the problem even though the technician was not able to duplicate the problem after the cleaning.  I placed the third and final call recently and the service technician was able to determine the cause of the burner not lighting was due to the lack of water pressure at the hot water heater and recommended that I increase the cut in and cut out at the well pump.  This completely corrected the problem with the hot water heater and I've had no further problems with it.
The bills for the three separate service calls added up to approximately $1050.00.  I had concerns about this amount as I felt that the water pressure as the cause should have been determined without having to place three calls, being billed for each call.  The owner of the company, Harvey Multer, called me after I raised my concerns and we had a very pleasant talk about the billing.  Harvey listened to my concerns and politely explained the reasons for the billing amounts and in the end, suggested a billing reduction that was very fair.  Harvey was very polite and professional with the billing issue and all technicians that have worked on my hot water heater have been professional and courteous. 
I consider the service and billing issues completely resolved and I will be calling MultiSpec Inc. / Aire Serv of Southern Maine for any future hot water unit installs or servicing.

"I needed my toilet cleared out to work properly. I tried to take care of it myself, but as anyone could tell you that I am definitely not a plumber. So, I needed to hire a professional to do the job. The job was done immediately and the bill was very reasonable. Anytime I even think about any plumbing work, I know who to call."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a new water heater is approximately $1,300, with a typical price range between $880 and $1,800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, its location and accessibility, and the amount of labor required. For example, installing a unit in a tight space like a crawl space can increase labor costs. The type of water heater significantly impacts the price: while a conventional gas heater might cost less than $1,000, tankless models can cost around $2,600 to install (and up to $3,500), and solar heaters can cost upwards of $3,700. Other factors that can affect the total price include the fuel type, vent system requirements, permits, and whether any additional plumbing work or repairs from previous water heater damage are needed.

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.

While heat pump water heaters are more expensive than gas-powered water heaters, the ROI is higher for heat pump units. Not only are heat pump water heaters more energy efficient, meaning immediate savings on your energy bill, but they also last longer than traditional gas versions, meaning you won't have to buy them as often.
