"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."

"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."
"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."
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.
The good news is that most home warranty plans cover hot water heaters, regardless of whether you have a tank or a tankless model. Your hot water heater should be covered by your home warranty because it's considered an essential home appliance.
There are pros and cons to tankless water heaters. They are more efficient than traditional tank water heaters, and maintenance costs are lower. These units are also much more compact. On the other hand, they cost about twice as much to install as traditional tank water heaters and are more limited in terms of flow rate.
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.
In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
