"Finken called to sell RO filters for RO system previously installed. They took payment over the phone and stated the filters were paid in full and drop off of the filters would occur. After drop off, invoices were sent requesting additional payment. When calling to discuss the issue, representatives give excuses as to why the original payment 'didn't go through'. They state there is a training issue, and conveniently the person who processes the invoices is never available. They state they take the credit card information at the time of original phone call and store it in their vault. I've requested they delete my information and stop calling me as I've already paid as they required before delivery. I will look into purchasing these replacements elsewhere as the business practices are questionable and customer service is poor. "

"A SEAR'S APPLIANCE REPAIRMAN CAME TODAY TO FIX MY ALMOST NEW, HIGH END KENMORE ELITE DISHWASHER. IT WAS THE SECOND TIME THE DISHWASHER'S DIGITAL CONTOL BOARD FAILED. THE DISHWASHER WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE THE IT WAS PURCHASED FOR A REMODELING JOB THAT WAS DELAYED. SO THE DISHWASHER WAS BOUGHT, BUT NOT DELIVERED FOR OVER A YEAR. THE DISHWASHER WAS ACTUALLY PUT IN SERVICE SEPTEMBER 2017, THE WARRANTY RAN OUT WHILE IT WAS SITTING IN THE APPLIANCE STORE'S WAREHOUSE WAITING TO BE INSTALLED. THE DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL FAILED IN FEBRUARY 2018. AT THE TIME I WAS TOLD BY THE SEARS REPAIRMAN WHO FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. HE TOLD ME THAT HE COULD FIX IT BY CLEANING THE CONTACTS BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY FAIL AGAIN IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS. SURE ENOUGH, IT FAILED IN JUST OVER 6 MONTHS. I PAID APPROXIMATELY $150 FOR THIS REPAIR. THE SEAR'S. REPAIRMAN WHO CAME TODAY TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR THE DISHWASHER WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $450.00 BUT THAT IF I WANTED, SEARS WOULD REPLACE THE DISHWASHER WITH EXACTLY THE SAME MODEL FOR FOR ABOUT $500. HE THEN CALLED SEARS APPLIANCE SALES TO ORDER THE NEW DISHWASHER BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT REPLACING THE DISHWASHER WITH THE SAME MODEL WOULD BE A LOT MORE THAN $500. SO I DECLINED THE PURCHASE AND ASKED THE REPAIRMAN TO PROCEED WITH ORDERING THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. HE THEN SAID HE COULD NOT PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR SINCE WHEN I OPTED TO REPLACE THE DISHWASHER, I VOIDED MY RIGHT TO HAVE THE DISHWASHER REPAIRED. HE SAID I WOULD NEED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER $99 APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DISHWASHER REPAIRED. THEN HE LITERALLY RAN OUT THE FRONT DOOR. I PAID $99 AND GOT NOTHING EXCEPT INCORRECT, BAD INFORMATION. WHEN I TRIED TO GET THE $99 FEE I HAD PAID REFUNDED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NON-REFUNDABLE. I NOW I FIND OUT THE "PART THAT OFTEN FAILS" IS A SPECIAL ORDER PIECE THAT COSTS $200+ WITH SHIPPING AND IT MAY TAKE WEEKS TO GET. KENMORE BUYERS VERY BEWARE."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit’s capacity. The amount of time it takes to drain a water heater averages from 10 to 30 minutes.

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.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless water heaters are anywhere from 8% to 34% more efficient than regular water heaters. Exactly how much energy you’ll save depends on your household’s water usage. When you purchase a tankless water heater, you’ll also likely upgrade to more efficient technology than your current water heater, which can add to energy savings.

Yes, you can replace a current tank water heater with a tankless model or vice versa. If you’re maintaining the same fuel source—gas or electricity—the switchover should be smooth. A conventional tank requires open floor space, while a tankless model can be wall-mounted. If you’re switching to a tank water heater, you might need to clear space for it. Gas-powered tankless water heaters need a large volume of gas when they start running to heat the water instantly. You might need to increase the size of the gas line when going from a tank to a tankless model.

While many older homes don’t need hot water heater expansion tanks, they’re necessary in most newer homes and are required by building codes. These tanks are required by code in areas where there are backflow preventers or pressure regulators on the incoming water pipe between the public water pipes and the water heater. However, tankless water heaters don’t require expansion tanks.
