"Installed on time but with a gas leak. Gas supplier disconnected the unit. I could not get company service for 3 days. Tankless water heater is operating well after gas line repairs. Product is great but installation was shoddy."
"In both caes, they arrived promptly and did their work quickly and well. Patrick, who updated our gas line and installed our new range, was especially helpful, talking with us about the water heater (OK for now) and giving us cooking tips (he used to be a chef)! Very professional, very reasonable cost. I will put in the price of the gas line work."
"This company was extremely responsive to my initial request and got back to me within minutes. My water heater was replaced on time and with no problems whatsoever. They traveled A significant distance to get to my town And kept good communication with me"
"I dealt with Sears and Home Depot all morning trying to arrange for a same-day install of a new water heater. Sears didn't have the models in stock that they quoted and the quote at Home Depot kept changing and I was very dissatisfied with the second person I dealt with who seemed to be very slow and lacking in knowledge. In frustration and desperation, I called Green Homes and the person I dealt with (Maggie) was wonderful. She told me they could have someone out here by 3pm (I didn't call them until almost noon), she took basic information and gave me a firm quote that included everything (no extras or add ons).The truck arrived a little before 3. They discussed with me what they were going to do, told me they would be done in about 2 hours. In two hours, they were done, they installed a new water heater,installed a new shut off valve for the hot water, it was immaculate, the old one was gone, instructed me how to use it and that was that. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had from beginning to end. The price was exactly as they quoted. The guarantee was for two years labor and ten years parts - better than any quoted. I will use them again and absolutely recommend them. This is my first experience using a listing on Angie's List - that too was a good experience."
"He was able to quickly diagnose that the water leak from the water heater was a result of a ruptured tank, resulting in the need to replace the entire water heater."
"Excellent service,called about having my hot water heater replaced,They came out Tuesday nite and had my new hot water heater up and running pretty quick.Would highly recommend this company for your projects."
"Removed my old water heater and placed a tankless water heater without any concerns. Took approx 8 hours to install, they were very clean and professional."
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.
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.
Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget.

That being said, we can ballpark savings for the average home of between $100and$500 per year. You can increase that savings rate by researching and applying available energy incentives available in your area. If you really want to focus on cost, consider a tankless water heater.
