"A great company to deal with. Regardless of what problem you may have, they have technicians and repair men that will rake care of it. From electric to plumbing, AC/ heat. Great to have one place to call for everything. They are all so proffesional and friendly. I appreciate them using shoe covers when entering your home and the sales people are not pushy. Two things that always bug me. ! They state the facts. They are honest, the prices are fair, And they will give you options. I highly recommend them."

"I sent a message to the company in the late evening regarding my broken central AC and Jason was here Tuesday morning to look at it. He tried to repair it but was not able to due to the age of the unit and the damage. We needed a new unit and he was here to put it in first thing Wednesday morning. Took him two hours and our AC was working. He was nice and professional. We felt the price was reasonable. Would use him again and recommend his business."

"Chris was great. He gave an estimated arrival time and kept me posted about when he would arrive. Once he arrived, he was very professional and respectful of my home; he didn't even mind my nosy cat. He gave me an assessment of possible repairs needed on my portable AC, gave me an estimate for possible costs and provided an invoice on the spot. He made the whole process very easy, and I appreciate the time he took to explain everything. I would definitely hire DG HVAC & Home Services again for my appliance repair."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Storage, tankless, heat pumps, and solar water heaters each suit specific space constraints, usage needs, and efficiency preferences.

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.

An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though—tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.

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.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget.
