""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.”"

"Kyle is the best. Very friendly, and has completed some really tough jobs for me in the past. Today he replaced my water heater, and found a small gas leak the gas company couldn't find. Awesome, timely, professional work at fair prices. They always remember me also which is nice. Highly recommend."

"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!"

"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

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

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.

Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it’s much more effective where it’s warm. The reason is that the heat pump needs ambient warmth in the air to compress. The less warmth, the more compression required, thus using more electricity and offsetting the energy-efficient benefits.

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.

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.
