"This is not for a water heater, but it was the only option I could choose. Recently I had an issue with my kitchen sink not draining. I tried to snake it myself and found out my pipes were brittle and put the snake right through them. Reached out to Toye and he was here the next day. Replaced the piping under my sink, then took the time to find and clear what turned out to be a massive clog that the snake I was trying to use never would have cleared. HUGE thanks to Ramon!"

"After contacting four previous plumbing and heating companies that assured me they would return to work, we found one who answered the call, confirmed the issue at hand and provided the solution we needed without hesitation. Very thankful for 24/7 service after the Sunroom baseboard heating unit froze and burst while we had heavy winds during our first winter in Maine. We have future plans for our home to be retrofit with new upgrades and will be using Pro Solutions for all upcoming projects."

"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. "

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes to replace an electric water heater will depend on the skill level of the individual who is replacing it. For example, if you replace it yourself–and you don’t have much experience–you can expect the project to take a full day. 

However, if you have a certified plumber or water heater contractor install your new water heater, it can take as little as 2 to 3 hours.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

While not all homes require a hot water heater expansion tank, they are necessary in most newer homes and are often mandated by local building codes. Codes typically require an expansion tank if your plumbing system is a 'closed-loop' system, which often includes a backflow preventer or pressure regulator on the main water line. Some municipalities have specific requirements. Installing an expansion tank on a closed system is crucial, as it prevents excess pressure that can damage your water heater and other appliances, potentially shortening their lifespan. However, tankless water heaters do not require an expansion tank.

A tankless water heater with a flow rate of 10 GPM should replace a conventional 50-gallon water heater. To avoid a surprise cold shower or two and to keep your energy costs in check, it's important to replace a conventional tanked water heater with the equivalent tankless water heater. Your household size and the number of hot-water-using devices you use at once can help you determine the best-size tankless water heater.

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