"Andrew was very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining to us the differences and advantages about converting to a tankless water heater. The installation went smooth and as of now we are happy customers and would call them again if we needed."

"We decided this spring to finally replace the 1968 vintage furnace in our house to take advantage of federal tax credits and to prevent an unplanned furnace failure in some future dead of winter. The original furnace/AC unit was wheezy, inefficient, improperly installed, and potentially dangerous (every contracter who looked at it suggested that we keep the batteries in the CO detector fresh). We chose Aire Serv after some research about what products were most reliable, 3 quotes, and some recommendations from friends. We bought our system (ultra-high efficiency Amana furnace and AC unit, new water heater) from Lowell, who was pleasant, efficient, responsive, and polite. Travis and Kevin were the technicians who installed the units--installation went only slightly over their original time estimate, and both technicians were polite and professional. Their work areas were left very clean. Since installation, we've been very happy with the way the units have functioned--quieter and much more effective than the old ones. We've had two 'glitches' with them since installation. In the first case, the water heater didn't work one morning. A technician came out that day, found a loose connection (plug not in all the way) that fixed things immediately. On the second occasion, the air conditioning went out. Again, a technician came out the same day (in the evening, no less--guy looked tired, but didn't bag the call until the next day!), found the problem (AC overfilled), fixed it, then hung around for an hour to make sure it continued to work. Overall, we've been very pleased with the quality of product and service we received through Aire Serv--they weren't the least expensive company we talked to, but they did their job meticulously and have been very attentive since installation."

"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."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

You have more options for water heaters than ever before. The best one for your home depends on your hot water usage and budget. Some of the more common types of water heaters are the conventional gas heater, a heat pump water heater, or a tankless heater for smaller homes or those with less water demands. Some uncommon types are solar and point-of-use systems. Some homes may have a combination of two units, such as a large heat pump heater and a backup point-of-use system.

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.

The good news is that most home warranty plans cover hot water heaters, regardless of whether you have a tank or a tankless model. Your hot water heater should be covered by your home warranty because it's considered an essential home appliance.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.
