"Doty Mechanical was professional and friendly as the water heater was installed the in the basement. We were notified in plenty of time before they arrived. The installation looks great and works perfectly. They cleaned up afterward and gave me a little run down on lighting the pilot and some general maintenance. I recommend them to anyone."

"They've maintenanced my furnace before I required a new one and they've always maintenanced the new one since I got it replaced about 3 years ago. Very easy to work with. I think I've been using them since 2008."

"Excellent plumber with outstanding customer care and follow up. Will use again as needed. Simmons replaced my water heater almost 4 years ago and that experience was excellent. This week I called about an issue I was having and the owner responded right away and was there the next day to check out the issue and resolve it. He followed up the following morning. I highly recommend this business. I have never received this type of customer service from any other business Iâ ve hired for home repair/up-keep related issues. Thank you Simmons Plumbing."

"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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

The average cost to replace a water heater is around $1,325, with a typical range of $900 to $1,800 for a standard replacement. The final price depends on the type of heater (tank vs. tankless), its size, fuel source (gas or electric), and the complexity of the installation. A simple one-to-one replacement will be on the lower end of the cost spectrum. However, if you are switching from one type of heater or energy source to another, you can expect labor costs to be significantly higher due to the extra work involved. It's also worth considering that while gas and electric heaters may have similar upfront costs, their long-term operating costs can differ based on local utility prices.

Unless you have previous plumbing experience or extensive experience with water heaters, you should avoid replacing your electric water heater yourself. This process involves disconnecting wiring and parts from the old water heater and reinstalling them onto the new one, among other difficult tasks. This job is best left to the pros to make sure that everything is connected correctly to avoid serious leaks or malfunctions.

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.

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it’s much more effective where it’s warm. The reason is that the heat pump needs ambient warmth in the air to compress. The less warmth, the more compression required, thus using more electricity and offsetting the energy-efficient benefits.
