"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"
"Went well. Then 3 days later a water leak out of same sink, and part-owner came to stop the leak and order new sink faucets - which he said sink is out of date, 70 years old. But he seemed very concerned and ready and willing to fix the problem, took of photo of sink and is now searching for some kind of replacement."
"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."
Choosing between an electric water heater vs. a gas water heater comes down to personal preference. Overall, electric heaters are more energy efficient than their gas competitors. They’re also quieter to operate, take up less room, and don’t come with a risk of gas leaks.
The downside is that electric water heaters cost more to operate than gas. They might also struggle to heat water fast enough for households that use large amounts of hot water. Lastly, a power outage could cause your electric water heater to stop working, whereas gas water heaters may still function.
Professional installs conclude in mere hours, with complexity differences possibly prolonging efforts slightly. Site condition often dictates the exact duration.
If your water heater is about to celebrate the big 2-0, you may want to consider sending it off to greener pastures. While the water heater may seem to be working well, any conventional, tanked water heater over 10 years of age is at risk of failure. If your water heater is 20 years or older, your best move is to replace your aging heater before it completely breaks down.
Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.
There are many issues that can cause cold showers, but the most likely is a problem with your water heater, especially if other fixtures also don’t get hot water. If it’s just your shower not getting hot water, you likely have a broken or damaged shower cartridge. You can replace this yourself or hire a plumber to do the work for you if you’re not comfortable working with plumbing.
