"I can't recommend Doty enough.  I know it was hard to work with our extremely limited options for locating the ductwork, but our guy (Jason) was great.  He confirmed locations for everything and our building inspector said it was the best workmanship he'd ever seen.  Despite being very busy right now, Gary shuffled things around to get our finish done in time for our occupancy inspection. They showed up every time they were expected to, on time, and cleaned up when they were done.  When they had trouble getting our control board working with the furnace (manufacturer's issue), they got a replacement and installed it the same day, staying until 7pm to get it done for me.  

Because the system is geothermal, I qualify for a 30% rebate from the federal government on the entire price (via tax refund), which effectively makes the cost ~$23,000.  Oh, and my electric bill is $32/month to heat the entire house (4100 ft2 of conditioned space, including the basement) to 70 degrees; 80 during the two weeks our drywaller was mudding."

"I hired Simmons Plumbing to change my home over to a tankless water heater system. I was new to the concept and a little unsure but Paul went the extra mile and took his time to walk me through what he was going to do and how it would impact my home. He was a true professional and I will gladly hire the company for any future needs."

"My old water heater had failed and All Around Plumbing was the only plumbing contractor that I cantacted that offered to come and install a new water heater the next day. They arrived in the morning and we had hot water shortly after dinner. They removed the old water heater and cleaned up any debris that they created."

"I liked the tech that stopped by and provide the quote for the natural gas fired Power Vent water heater replacement. I know they would do a good job on the water heater. They install Bradford White which is a very good water heater. Since it was not the same model and physical size as the currently installed unit, some small modifications would be needed. I went with a smaller local plumber who would install the same AO Smith physical size unit (no modifications needed) and his quote was about $250 less."

"We called Greg on a Friday morning and he was there that evening. He came back Monday to test the water and then installed a custom built water softener on Thursday.He evaluated what type of softener we needed by asking about our families particular needs. Greg was very knowledgeable of his product, explained exactly what work was going to be performed and the price. I was extremely pleased with his professionalism and punctuality. I would recommend Livingston Plumbing to anyone I know looking for plumbing work and look forward to working with Greg in the future."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Installing a water heater without a permit can result in high fines—as much as hundreds of dollars per day, in some areas. It can also void your homeowners' insurance and cause problems when selling your home because it violates local building codes and safety regulations.

If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your hot water heater is not hot enough. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade.

It’s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

  • Electric: $600–3,500

  • Gas: $700–$2,700

  • Propane: $700–$2,500

  • High efficiency: $1,500–$3,000

  • Indirect: $1,200–$3,500

  • Hybrid heat pump: $1,200–$3,500

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
