"We have the ASAP plan, so we get annual furnace, ac, electrical, and plumbing inspections with our plan. Today we had the plumbing inspection. The man who came out was named Caesar. He was very nice (our dog approved of him!) and professional. He showed us with pictures that he had taken some potential problem areas and told us that our hot water heater is over the typical life of a water heater. He told us what could be done and gave us some estimates of both repair work and a new hot water heater. He did not try to sell us anything-said that if we decided to do any of this work in the next 30 days, to call and schedule it and there would be no additional service call charge. We would also get a discount because of the ASAP plan. I do not think that Anthony’s is the cheapest service, but I can say that after having had all kinds of work (furnace, ac, electrical, and plumbing) done by them over the years, they are EXCELLENT and they really go the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy."

"Toilet leak fixed and tightened the faucet handles on first visit.  But they thought they fixed the leak but forgot to turn water back on.  They were to come back next day after 4:00 (left work early) and guy finally showed up around 8:00.  I had to call to find out status.  Repairman only could look at and try to get the right parts the next day and return.  Appointment set up again for 3:00.  Next day (left work early again) but they never came.  They call around 8:45 to say they couldnt make it.  Appointment set for Saturday morning but the man that showed up had no idea what was wrong and had to start over.  They didnt get here till afternoon and supply store was closed. 
They call next week to say the parts for our faucet are not available and need to replace.

"I’m extremely satisfied with the work from KC Metro Plumbing. LJ and Trey, thank you so much for the same-day water heater replacement. I was really impressed because other companies weren’t able to handle the emergency the same day, but KC Metro Plumbing got it done quickly and professionally. I truly appreciate the fast response, great service, and quality work. Highly recommend!"

"I had them install two outside spigots and two internal shutter valves to those spigots. I also requested a bid on a new water heater and some shut off valves under my sink. They were prompt in their response to get me a quote. The price was fair and the work was done quickly, effectively and professionally. They are great to work with very responsive, fair priced and easy to do business with I would certainly use them for all my plumbing needs."

"Terrific is an understatement! After being told by my HVAC company that they could not install a new hot water heater for 3 days, TJ at Metro Plumbing went above and beyond to make sure we had hot water before guests arrived the following day. He tracked down the unit we wanted, came to the house on a Saturday and he and his associate worked in tight quarters to the get the unit installed. It is no wonder he has been in business for 15 years! If you want a job done well at a fair price, I highly recommend KC Metro Plumbing! Thank you, TJ!"

"Unfortunately the hot water heater repair of a new thermal coupler didn?t work but had to buy and pay for it anyway and had to buy a new hot water heater. Wish I would have gotten the $235 back since they took the new thermal coupler with the old water heater. Dan and Brian did a good job getting the new one installed tho."

"Prompt, competent service. Sean went beyond minimal service to repair heat pump/AC system (completely removed depleted R410A blended refrigerent and installed 14 lb of new refrigerant. Installed dye/sealant to allow for identifying hopefully stopping future leak). The 550% markup on the dye/sealant was bitter pill to swallow, but likely necessary to recover labor losses due to extended service time."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Not all types of water heaters require a venting system. Electric tankless water heaters don’t use natural or propane gas, so no venting is required. Instead, they use electric burners to heat water quickly and efficiently. However, any system that does use gas or propane will require ventilation.

Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. 

Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though—tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties.
