""I recently had a water heater installed by Orkie with Home Improvement Specialists,and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. The technician Orkie arrived on time and was professional and courteous throughout the installation. He explained everything he was doing and made sure I understood how to operate the new water heater before he left. The installation was completed in a timely manner and the technician left my home clean and tidy. I've been using my new water heater for a few weeks now and it's working perfectly. I would highly recommend Orkie with Home Improvement Specialists to anyone in need of a water heater installation or replacement.”"

"I’ve used Anthony Heating & Plumbing for close to 8 years. They’ve replaced heating/A/C and water heater. They also have done some plumbing, fixed a sump pump issue, installed new PVC pipes for better flow and do annual general maintenance on my A/C and heater. They are punctual, friendly and clean. A few of my neighbors began using them."

"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 tried to replace the supply line to my toilet in my basement. When water was turned on it was leaking badly. I decided to call Redi since I have used them for other plumbing jobs. They came out and fixed the leak within 10 minutes of arriving. They know their stuff and are always polite and get the job done right."

"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."

"They went beyond what I expected. Before trying to sell me anything, they checked to see if my water heater was under warranty. It wasnâ t, but they checked without me even asking. Then they gave me a fair price and installed it the same day. I will definitely use them again for future projects."

"had water backing up through my washer drain late one night, and Jacob came over and snaked the drain for me. He was professional, respectful, and reasonably priced. He got the problem taken care of quickly, and I couldn?t be happier with the service. I would definitely recommend Jacob to anyone needing plumbing work!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The right way to vent a gas water heater is to have a pipe directly upward or slopes upward out of the house. Because hot air naturally rises, this type of venting will efficiently ensure that all gas moves out of the house. Your system may rely on fans or blowers as well.

Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

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.

On average, a tankless water heater should last between 10 and 15 years. Its lifespan will be affected by how much it's used, the effect of weather where your home is on the unit—colder is harsher and will shorten lifespan—and if the heater is maintained appropriately and regularly. There are many signs your water heater needs to be replaced, so pay attention to anything that changes with your heater or hot water.
