"I do not hesitate to call Hawks for any heating and plumbing service. Hawks installed two high efficiency heat pump / furnace systems in our house two years ago. After planning, the work was completed within one day, all old equipment hauled away, and both areas left spotless. Both systems are providing excellent heating and cooling without the inefficiency and noise of the old systems.. We have had no reason to call Hawks back except to do annual service. I recently called Hawks to troubleshoot a blockage in our septic system. Within the hour, Scott had arrived, found the blockage, and cleared the system. Much appreciated! Thanks to Shelly and Scott!

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Professional installs conclude in mere hours, with complexity differences possibly prolonging efforts slightly. Site condition often dictates the exact duration.

An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though—tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.

Replacing an older water heater that requires frequent repairs is almost always worth it. If your fixture is nearing the end of its life span—around 10 to 20 years, depending on the model—replacing a water heater might save you money in the long run. Replacing a water heater generally costs less than repairing a fully flooded basement, and some high-efficiency units pay for themselves thanks to energy savings. Plus, installing a new water heater and upgrading to tankless will boost your home value and make your hot water more readily available, improving comfort for your family.

There are many issues that can cause cold showers, but the most likely is a problem with your water heater, especially if other fixtures also don’t get hot water. If it’s just your shower not getting hot water, you likely have a broken or damaged shower cartridge. You can replace this yourself or hire a plumber to do the work for you if you’re not comfortable working with plumbing.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.
