"They were so expensive. I used them for my hot water heater and I am still paying that off 1 1/2 years later. I can't fathom getting a tub replaced by them. Sorry guys. The first man who I met was super nice, but I can't afford it...especially not after all the trouble, you guys had with obtaining the right water heater..."

"Technically, they installed a drinking fountain but the option above was the closest thing to it. I was very impressed by their responsiveness and customer service. They were informative and helpful for what I needed. The gentlemen that came out to do the install did an amazing job. They were thorough, professional and helpful to say the least. I am thankful for the work these folks have done and if I need anything in the future, I am sure to call them again."

"Chris did an excellent job all by himself. Took a little bit longer but after all it was a big job for just one person. Looks excellent and honestly I can't wait to get into my new shower and enjoy it but the silicone has to dry first to ensure it's watertight. No doubt this will be my shower for many many years to come!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work Mr. Danzy and his crew did! They were quick to respond, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. I originally planned to put my greenhouse together myself, but I’m so glad I decided to call him instead. It would have taken me forever. They went above and beyond—building a solid wood foundation, assembling the greenhouse perfectly, and even installing an electrical outlet and a fan. The final result is better than I ever imagined. Honestly, it turned out even better than I saw it in my dreams! If you’re thinking about getting a greenhouse or similar project done, I highly recommend them. Absolutely amazing work!"

"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

If your water heater continues to have issues, you may wonder how long an electric water heat lasts. On average, these units last between 10 to 15 years. Following a proper maintenance schedule can help the water heater live to the end of its average lifespan or longer.

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.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

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.
