"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

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.

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.

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

The size needed for your expansion tank is determined by the size of your home's water heater. Expansion tanks are available in 2-gallon and 4.5-gallon sizes. A 2-gallon tank will be appropriate for water heaters up to 50 gallons. An adequately sized tank should have a volume that equals 2% to 5% of the water volume within the system. A plumber can evaluate your home's water pressure, water heater size, and other factors to provide suggestions for picking out the best expansion tank.
