"Justin came within a half an hour of my phone call, and he worked the rest of the day taking out the old water heater and installing a brand new one. He demonstrated expert workmanship and excellent knowledge of all aspects of installing a gas water heater. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely call this company if anyone needs emergency service with a leaking old water heater. :-)"

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.

"Never having had this same problem before, it is hard to make a cost comparison. But our sense is that, in an urgent situation, we were not taken advantage of or pressured. We got quick response -- were told how to stop further leakage, and got new water heater installed the same day. Also learned about services in future that can prevent some forseeable issues. Richard was personable and professionable. He called when en route, and sent photo so we'd recognize him. He was knowledgeable, and explained situation and our options thoroughly. Then he acted expeditiously to turn a potential disaster (with company coming!) into a relatively fast "save" with no significant cleanup/damage to address afterward. We had been without a regular plumber, and knew we needed one. Now we've found one we like and trust. Hard to put a price tag on that!"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

A water heater is one of the heaviest hitters in your home, and it needs as much power as possible to help it run efficiently and effectively.

Your water heater should be on its own dedicated circuit breaker, with no other power sources running to it. This is required to meet the National Electric Code–and to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible.

There are pros and cons to tankless water heaters. They are more efficient than traditional tank water heaters, and maintenance costs are lower. These units are also much more compact. On the other hand, they cost about twice as much to install as traditional tank water heaters and are more limited in terms of flow rate.

While not all homes require a hot water heater expansion tank, they are necessary in most newer homes and are often mandated by local building codes. Codes typically require an expansion tank if your plumbing system is a 'closed-loop' system, which often includes a backflow preventer or pressure regulator on the main water line. Some municipalities have specific requirements. Installing an expansion tank on a closed system is crucial, as it prevents excess pressure that can damage your water heater and other appliances, potentially shortening their lifespan. However, tankless water heaters do not require an expansion tank.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.

Installing a water heater without a permit can result in high fines—as much as hundreds of dollars per day, in some areas. It can also void your homeowners' insurance and cause problems when selling your home because it violates local building codes and safety regulations.
