"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.

"It was Saturday during Memorial Day weekend in the pandemic when I noted a leaking pipe in the ceiling of my basement family room. I worked through Home Advisor to find a plumber in my area. The plumber came quickly. He and I followed pandemic precautions. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. He did a temporary repair because the faucet to shut off the water to my house was corroded due to its age. He then organized permanent repair a few days later when the town water to my house could be shut off. The plumber informed me what and when to expect him and did exactly what he said. He deserves an extra thank-you because of the pandemic issues. I am in the high risk group and he was the first stranger to enter my home since March. That caused added concerns on my part which were quickly resolved due to his professional manner. I would recommend this company to anyone and will call this plumber in the future."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

While possible, professional assistance is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations and avoidance of avoidable risks.

Choosing between an electric water heater vs. a gas water heater comes down to personal preference. Overall, electric heaters are more energy efficient than their gas competitors. They’re also quieter to operate, take up less room, and don’t come with a risk of gas leaks. 

The downside is that electric water heaters cost more to operate than gas. They might also struggle to heat water fast enough for households that use large amounts of hot water. Lastly, a power outage could cause your electric water heater to stop working, whereas gas water heaters may still function.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.

Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.

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.
