"Nervous about hiring someone we were unfamiliar with upfront, so grateful we made this choice...Wild Water Plumbing is now our go-to company! Justin is wonderful, he is very knowledgeable, works hard, is thorough and takes the time to answer any and all questions. He installed a new water heater and water softening unit to our specifications and the pricing was right, his response time was excellent and he warranted his work without question. A very pleasant young man and a pleasure to work with, he came back a few weeks later to verify the water quality of the units he installed and we have already had him assist with other plumbing issues around the house!"

"Ryan was a knowledgeable, punctual professional who showed up less than an hour after my no hot water call. He was in and out and had the heating element I needed on hand which was great. Had hot water working again before he left. 100% recommend OConnell Plumbing to anyone in the local Jacksonville area."

"Very Good, Plumber was courteous and did repair. The only reason they got a C in Punctuality and Responsiveness is because when I called on Monday, they could not tell me when they could come, but they called the next day to tell me they were coming."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, most municipalities have codes that require water heaters to have pans. A pan is necessary when a water heater or hot water storage tank is installed in an area where water leakage could cause damage, such as an attic, second floor, or finished basement. Tankless water heaters are not required to have a pan since there is no storage tank.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

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.

Yes, you can replace a current tank water heater with a tankless model or vice versa. If you’re maintaining the same fuel source—gas or electricity—the switchover should be smooth. A conventional tank requires open floor space, while a tankless model can be wall-mounted. If you’re switching to a tank water heater, you might need to clear space for it. Gas-powered tankless water heaters need a large volume of gas when they start running to heat the water instantly. You might need to increase the size of the gas line when going from a tank to a tankless model.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget.
