"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 questions, answered by experts

Electric water heaters use a high amount of electricity, so they’re best for homeowners who subsidize their electric bill with solar or who live in an area with inexpensive electricity. For others, gas water heaters versus electric water heaters may be the more cost-effective solution, with the added bonus of heating water quickly and efficiently. No matter which you choose, you can lower your water temperature as low as possible to keep costs down.

If you have a tank-type electric water heater, it runs regularly to keep the water at the desired temperature. If you live in a home where you don’t use much hot water, it could seem wasteful to run power to heat water that you’re using infrequently. You could save some power by using a smaller tank, insulating the tank, or lowering the temperature of the water heater.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

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.

If your water heater continues to have issues, you may wonder how long an electric water heat lasts. On average, these units last between 10 to 15 years. Following a proper maintenance schedule can help the water heater live to the end of its average lifespan or longer.
