Why? Quite simply, because we strive for perfection. If you are hoping we will use cheaper materials, hurry through an installation, or overlook restrictions, P.J. Fitzpatrick, LLC, is not the company for you. We believe that when it comes to your home, the job should be done perfectly and last a lifetime. This might not make us the cheapest company in the area, but we stand behind our work and leave our customers extremely satisfied. So much that they refer friends, family and neighbors without hesitation. If something goes wrong with our installation, it's not your fault, it's ours. Our responsibility doesn't end once we pack up our tools and leave. If something breaks, malfunctions, or just plain doesn't make you happy, we'll fix it - for as long as you live in your home. Full lifetime warranties are included with many of our services. We also have 18 Repair Experts who do repairs all day, every day and love it! Experience the P.J. Fitzpatrick, LLC., difference today!

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

When investing in a new furnace, it’s smart to do a home energy audit. That will give you a list of any projects that would help with efficiency, such as sealing or replacing windows and insulating the attic. You can also take this time to install a smart thermostat if you don’t already have one to make heating your home a breeze.

The right way to vent a gas water heater is to have a pipe directly upward or slopes upward out of the house. Because hot air naturally rises, this type of venting will efficiently ensure that all gas moves out of the house. Your system may rely on fans or blowers as well.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.
