"I had an excellent experience with Southern Tier Tech, LLC. Not only was Jim extremely responsive to my service request, arriving early to the appointment to asses my situation, ( a very stressful one as Nyseg had tagged my water heater as not being vented properly and had shut off my gas), he was able to give me a few options that would work ideally for me, and to my great relief was able to schedule my job, (a replacement, relocated water heater, properly vented as per Nyseg),the very next day. Jim was very professional, knowledgable and friendly. He even went above and beyond by contacting Nyseg for their necessary sign off on his work, and I was back online in just a few hours. I highly recommend Southern Tier Tech, LLC."

"Milt is a customer oriented professional. He did an outstanding job in walking me through decision analysis on whether to repair, replace in kind or replace with a tankless water heater. We decided to go with tankless with a pay back period analysis and competitively choose between Lowe’s and Home Depot. He carried out the procurement and installation of the new tankless water heater with high quality. Thanks for job well done."

"He came in inspected the area, made suggestions on hot water heater replacements. Left to get the replacement, returned quickly, and installed unit with additional upgrades, plus offered and completed additional work to reduce the chance of having flooding problems damage my heater in the future! Great guy! He’s on my “go to guy” for any future issues in my 1850 home!"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

Heat pump water heaters, also known as hybrid water heaters, are the most efficient types of water heaters—both in terms of carbon emission and energy efficiency. This type of water heater utilizes as little as half of the energy of a traditional water heater while releasing no direct emissions. Tankless water heaters are also extremely efficient, although slightly less so than hybrid heaters.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener.
