"Greg did a wonderful job with replacing our water heater and now works well and looks good. He was able to come in the next day after getting a quote from him. It did take him a whole day just because he didn’t have his helper. Otherwise, good service!"

"Long story short our water heater was still working. Someone had left a trickle of hot water run all night and it drained the tank. Two hours later we found out that we had hot water and the repairman didn't change us for the visit."

"I’m not sure how to update my review but I did attach my previous review. I was contacted by TLC field manager and he was very willing to work with me and the insurance. He was very responsive to my concerns. As of now, we’re still waiting for the house to be redone, but TLC was very professional and responsive about this whole ordeal. Description of work: Not sure why we had such bad luck with this company. Let me just start off by saying they have been courteous the whole time but they can’t seem to get the job done. First, we called them for a leak in the master bath. Upon arrival, they found the leak was from a pipe accessible from the living room. So they cut up the drywall and supposedly fixed the leak. We thought, not too bad. Minimal floor damage. Had to file a claim with insurance for the floor damage in masters. So then there was no hot water after the fix, so we had to pay for new water heater. Don’t know if they were the ones who broke it or not. Then in the middle night, the pipe they fixed bursted and now pretty much damaged the floors of the whole living room, hallway, etc. called them back and they “fixed” it but now we see saw marks on the pvc tubing next to the wall where they were sawing. Got another call in for them to come out. Meanwhile, we had to file another insurance claim meaning another deductible out of our pocket not to mention the stress of a water damaged home!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Price variations arise from size, type (tankless or tank), efficiency grades, and installation complexity, including labor and materials.

The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit’s capacity. The amount of time it takes to drain a water heater averages from 10 to 30 minutes.

Basements, specifically those without any air conditioning, are the best location for a hybrid water heater. These rooms are less likely to experience extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect your hybrid water heater’s efficiency and performance. Basements often have more than enough space for their tanks and proper air circulation. Hybrid water heaters can also be a bit noisy, but putting them in your basement will keep the noise away from your main living areas.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

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.
