"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."
"This is the second time I have used NE Renovations. On a Saturday morning I discovered I had no heat, my heater would not come on. I contacted the individual I had used in the past and was told they could not come out for a few days. I sent an e-mail to Richard, the owner and he contacted me almost immediately. He told me he could come out the same day to see what the problem was.
He showed up on Saturday on time as scheduled. Unfortunately, the part I needed had to be ordered and he told me he would be over first thing Monday morning. Sure enough he arrived at 8:00 am and his employee, Jimmy arrived shortly after. It turned out additional parts had to be ordered. Richard kept me informed of the progress all along. After the parts were obtained, the heat was fixed and works great.
I also would like to mention how professional and courteous Richard always is. And it is great to have someone so reliable to depend on. I would not hesitate to use NE Renovations again. "

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:
Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.
Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.
Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.
Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.
Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.
If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.
Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.
You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.
Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.
We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.
Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.
Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old.
Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.
