"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

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.

If you're replacing a broken water heater, now is a great time to make sure you're selecting a unit that has the right capacity for your household. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a small 50-gallon to 60-gallon tank is sufficient for households with one to three people. A medium-sized 80-gallon tank is considered ideal for three to four people. A larger tank may be needed if your household has four to six people.

Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old. 

Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.

You have more options for water heaters than ever before. The best one for your home depends on your hot water usage and budget. Some of the more common types of water heaters are the conventional gas heater, a heat pump water heater, or a tankless heater for smaller homes or those with less water demands. Some uncommon types are solar and point-of-use systems. Some homes may have a combination of two units, such as a large heat pump heater and a backup point-of-use system.
