"The experience with St. Paul Pipeworks was great! We noticed our hot water heater leaking last night, called them this morning and they were at our house by early afternoon. In less than 2 hours, our hot water was back and they left our house without a trace. Phil and Mike were very pleasant and professional. The estimate that Keith provided over the phone matched the actual cost. No surprises."

"I needed to have this changed before the new stove was installed in a couple of days and thought I could have the ceiling fan in one of the rooms replaced (since they charge a trip fee, I wanted to take advantage of it and they were having a deal for 99.00 ceiling fan installation. Richard installed 2 new outlets and the ceiling fan in just under 3 hours. I believed the price to be reasonable but I didn't have much to compare that to because honestly there is something to be said for piece of mind, and confidence in the person doing this kind of work. I am an Angie's List Member and I contacted Randy's Electric via the Angie's List app on a Sunday and received a quick reply from Courtney ON A SUNDAY! They were able to get me on the schedule very quickly. The service is excellent! Richard was actually the electrician who came back to the house again to help with this project. As a female home owner, I have been subject to some companies (particularly a large local company that "specializes" in HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical) taking advantage of my lack of knowledge or understanding but this is not the case with Randy's. Richard walked through my options, offered suggestions and showed me what he had done when he finished. Great service, great company, you will have a customer for life, because lets face it, my house was built in the 40's- this won't be the first time I need electrical help!"

"Jon found the problem right away, explained how it happened, repaired the pipe and replaced the outside faucet. I had him replace a second outside faucet as well. He noted a small leak on the water heater, and after we discussed the age of the water heater, I had him replace the hot water heater and an older valve on the water meter. He completed everything in a shorter time than I expected. Before he left, showed me the controls on the new water heater and how to re-light the pilot if it ever went out. Jon was friendly, professional, and explained exactly what was needed. After he replaced the damaged pipes, the area where the pipes were was simplified, neater, and easier to access than it had been before. Although I did not plan on having all this work done now, I was confident in his assessment (he had done a previous big plumbing job for me) and I am sure this preventive maintenance headed off a future problem."

"They did a solid job helping understand the options I had, proposing a couple options to consider, and ultimately installed the hot water heater without any issues. Exactly what I was hoping for. I rarely do reviews but given the solid service I received here I felt compelled to let everyone know."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

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.

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.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.
