"Matthew came to do a free inspection of my plumbing.  He noticed some water under the kitchen sink and gave us a very reasonable estimate for that repair.  We ultimately decided to replace the sink and faucet, as the whole setup wasn't in great shape.  Matthew came the next day and did the job; he was punctual and professional, and he did an excellent job.  We are very pleased with how it turned out.

"When I called to schedule my service after our hot water heater suddenly started malfunctioning, the customer service agent was friendly and helpful. She set up an appointment for as soon as possible to get a technician out to examine the heater. I appreciated that they gave me just an hour-long window for when they would be coming, since some companies give you four or five hour windows when you need to be waiting by your phone at home. The two technicians arrived on time and called in advance to let me know they were coming. The main technician seemed knowledgeable and he walked me through all of my options. They had the heater installed the same day in a reasonable amount of time. I could tell that he took care in his work because he re-examined the hot water heater after he installed it to make sure it wasn't leaking. He also offered me extra services that where related to problems we were having (hard water). We weren't planning on having a water filter installed, but he let us know that it could help with the high iron content in our water, which could have been putting a strain on the hot water heater.
I only have two small complaints about the company. The Angie's List coupon, which was one of the main reasons I chose their services, is actually only for ONE service. I let the customer service agent know that I had a coupon up front, but she never told me that it was only for one service. I didn't find out that I could only use it on the largest item on my bill until the technician walked me through the services that I was about to authorize him for. I didn't argue over the price since it was still a good deal, but I think the coupon was misleading since it did not specify that it was on one item only. The other complaint is that I was told that I could get an iron filter for the house, but the technician later said that they did not carry them at the supply warehouse. I feel like he should have been aware of that. I would use their services again and was pleased, but the coupon fine print needs to be added for sure. This is why I put a C for professionalism, because I didn't know where else to categorize this oversight."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

It’s important to find the type of water heater that fits your needs and budget. Depending on the type of water heater, size, brand, and the type of energy you use to heat the water, costs range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Some of the most common types of water heaters include:

  • Electric: $600–3,500

  • Gas: $700–$2,700

  • Propane: $700–$2,500

  • High efficiency: $1,500–$3,000

  • Indirect: $1,200–$3,500

  • Hybrid heat pump: $1,200–$3,500

Homeowners insurance may cover the repair or replacement of a water heater if it's damaged by a covered peril, such as a fire or a burst pipe. However, policies typically do not cover repairs or replacement needed due to normal wear and tear, old age, or lack of maintenance. For these issues, a home warranty or a manufacturer's warranty may provide coverage. While the policy might not pay to fix or replace the malfunctioning appliance itself, it often covers the cost of water damage restoration caused by the faulty water heater. Always check with your insurance provider to understand the specifics of your policy.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.

Replacing facilitates energy savings, decreases repair frequency, and aligns with modern safety regulations, maximizing safety.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener.
