"The installers did a great job removing old system and installing the new system in the garage along with the A/C system on the roof. A very neat job and a great clean-up afterwards. The installers were knowledgeable of the systems and made sure I was pleased with the work! I will continue to use Albuquerque Plumbing and Heating Company my home plus have them do my Daughters house too!! The technicians in this company are also trained to install & repair tankless hot water heaters too!!"

"Jason and Devin are an awesome father son team. They were referred to me when we needed to cap our propane lines to convert our gas fireplace to pellet. We found more work for them when we had heaters installed in our garage and we needed to extend and connect the LP lines. These guys were organized, professional and kept my project clean. I would highly recommend Hands On Construction to everyone for any plumbing job big or small."

"David Hunter came to my home to give me an estimate and the very next morning he was there with a new water heater. The install was incredible, timely and they even cleaned up better than it was when they started! Great company, and I will use them again and again and again. My “go to” people."

"They were about $5000 higher for the project on the A/C for the same product. As for the flush and replacement of pipe lines for my hot water heater, they were about $400 higher in quote. This after getting THREE other company quotes."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

It takes between one and three hours to replace a hot water heater element, depending on whether you hire a pro or do the work yourself. For example, a professional plumber with all the necessary tools and experience can often finish the job in one to two hours, whereas DIY will take two to three hours because it'll involve more preparation and troubleshooting.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.

You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, which is nearly double the lifespan of a conventional tank heater. However, their longevity is highly dependent on several factors. With proper installation and regular maintenance, such as descaling to prevent mineral buildup from hard water, you can expect a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Without proper care, a tankless unit may begin to fail in as little as 12 years. Other factors that affect its lifespan include household usage and the quality of the local water supply. While they have a higher upfront cost, their energy savings, smaller size, and longer life make them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

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