EPA Certified Hvac licensed OSHA certified 7 years experience get the owner at your door not just a worker! Affordable and quality is what we strive for!

"We called to have a heat pump installed, and we got an electric heat system. We have a 119 year old 2 story farmhouse that we are still repairing. We contacted him and they did show up early, however, the workers he had employed at the time did not do much and he was not there to supervise them. It took four days to get it all installed. We have already had to have the unit repaired because the wrong wiring was used, there is no overflow spot so that the condensation does not leak onto our floor. We have to now figure out how to afford replacing this with the correct unit we had originally asked for because he is not willing to help where he messed up. I do not recommend this company because they are not very professional, and do not communicate at all. We were basically told "You are SOL and stuck with what you have." We did not ask for what we received, and he will not fix his mistake."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

When the water expands in a hot water heater, it puts pressure on your hot water pipes and can cause leaks or a rupture in the hot water tank under certain conditions. Pipes or water heaters may split due to the pressure where there is a backflow preventer that prevents the hot water heater from diffusing pressure by releasing water back to the public water line.

In these scenarios, a hot water heater expansion tank provides a place for the hot water heater to relieve pressure and prevent bursts and leaks.

The average water heater, whether gas-powered or electric, has a lifespan of about 10 years. If your heater is that age or older and no longer gives you hot water, replacing it with a new one may be the most cost-effective option. Maintaining your new water heater will help ensure that it lasts another 10 years or even longer.

Storage, tankless, heat pumps, and solar water heaters each suit specific space constraints, usage needs, and efficiency preferences.

Standard electric water heaters (about 40 gallons) typically need a 30-amp circuit breaker. But if you have a newer model, a tankless water heater, or one that’s more energy efficient, you’ll likely need a higher amperage to power it. 

Having the right size circuit breaker for your water heater is an important part of making sure it heats water efficiently and runs safely. A licensed electrician can help you navigate your options, and determine what you need for your new water heater. 

Often, the first issue you might encounter is a lack or loss of power—this could be caused by a tripped switch or a failed heating element. If your hot water is not producing enough power and its size is not the issue, you might need to replace one of its heating elements. A leaking water heater could be caused by tank erosion.
