Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I am very happy with Ryan Laverty Plumbing Heating & Cooling. I would highly recommend them and think their prices are good with quality work too. They installed a new water heater, furnace and AC all in a single day. I'm proud to show the pictures of their work and happy to talk about them too. They show when they say. I spoke to Ryan by phone about estimate before he wrote up/emailed to me for approval. It matched his verbal estimate. They delivered and installed on time just like they said with no surprises. It all looks good and everything works great! Since it's still summer, they said they will return to fire up heat/verify no issues before that season starts (good customer service). Their team is very professional and it shows in their work. I first saw Richard and Joe during estimate as they came from a different job where seeing me for estimate was after that job. When at my house, they measured everything/noted so that proper sizes were obtained for when Ryan quoted me. I resaw Richard and Joe along with Austin and James during day of install. Everyone is very efficient. It's a tight utility room, they pulled the washer/dryer out to get everything in. They even replaced the old gas shutoff behind he dryer as it's butterfly type that leaks at no extra cost to me. The Flue from the waster heater was all replaced to be proper size as original was undersized. I was shown everything, given manuals needed, etc."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

Typically, only a high-efficiency water heater with an inducer fan can be vented outside the house. Otherwise, your water heater needs to be installed on the inside and vented through the roof. However, certain areas may allow a standard-efficiency water heater to be vented outside. Check your local building codes to be sure.

Unless you have previous plumbing experience or extensive experience with water heaters, you should avoid replacing your electric water heater yourself. This process involves disconnecting wiring and parts from the old water heater and reinstalling them onto the new one, among other difficult tasks. This job is best left to the pros to make sure that everything is connected correctly to avoid serious leaks or malfunctions.

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

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

If you are having trouble determining the right breaker size for your water heater, it is a great idea to contact an electrician near you to help. They can help you determine the best option for your home and install the circuit breaker for you, ensuring that you have all the proper permits and that your circuit breaker won’t overload, which could lead to fire and other damage.
