Customers say: Quality work

"1 of my out of state rental properties had a water heater issue. Mr. Brown contacted me within 30 minutes of my request. He showed up as promised at the time we agreed. Repaired the issues and charged a FAIR PRICE. Having someone I can rely on locally is a huge plus for me. I would recommend Mr Brown 100 out of 100 times."

"I had noticed water in the pan under my old water heater.  I called the provider, explained the problem and they arranged for someone to come the next morning.  The next morning, they arrived at the time they said they would, promptly looked at my old water heater and determined that it needed to be replaced.  As the old water heater was in my attic and the expansion tank looked unstable, they recommended immediate replacement.  I asked about options, including a tankless water heaters.  The provider gave me clear factual information on the various options so that I could make an informed decision.  They installed the new water heater that morning.  The installation went well and they left my residence in perfect order.  I would definitely recommend Ethical Plumbing to anyone needing plumbing work.  They provided quick, good quality services with no hassles.

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.

While heat pump water heaters are more expensive than gas-powered water heaters, the ROI is higher for heat pump units. Not only are heat pump water heaters more energy efficient, meaning immediate savings on your energy bill, but they also last longer than traditional gas versions, meaning you won't have to buy them as often.

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. 

Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.

Yes, this would be an appropriate choice. In order to comply with the National Electric Code’s rules, you'll need to install a circuit breaker that's 125% larger than the intended load. In this case, you'll multiply 30 amps by 1.25 to find the necessary breaker size. Plugging that equation in for your 30-amp water heater will leave you with a 37.6-amp breaker. If your current water heater keeps tripping the breaker, it might be time to talk to a plumber or electrician about upgrading your water heater's setup.
