I have always specialized in service but have much experience in all aspects of plumbing. We do commercial and residential new installation and repair as well as gas work and underground service (water, sewer, gas) repair or replace. We also do kitchen & bath remodeling. ***Currently our website is under construction***

"I cannot begin to say how amazing this company is. I was recommended this company on Facebook. I called and was told I would have a technician at my house at 9am. The technicians was prompt and ready to go. He went above and beyond what was asked of him. He assisted and gave me suggestions for my project and did the work I asked him to do. He was definitely a life saver helping me out with my water tank. The service I thought was going to cost a ton of money was Penny's compared to their competitors. This company will now be my one and only plumbing resource. Thank you McLean Plumbing you freaking ROCK!!"

"Our heat pump compressor unit outside our house started intermittently SCREAMING like a banshee! Finally got evidence to the folks at Brockman such that they could diagnose the cause. Replaced the compressor motor. Fixed it the next morning -- running like a charm!!!"

"I am so thankful that Eddington Heating and Cooling chose to retire and sell their Customers Accounts to CJS Heating and Air. I trusted Eddington 100% and now I trust their choice CJS to service my Heating and Air needs. Kevin our initial tech, I called him Mr. Wonderful for a reason. He is beyond educated and made my concerns a PRIORITY. Kevin asked me tons of questions and he listened to me. Literally 24 HOURS after I MET KEVIN my brand new system was installed and operating at 100% efficiency. That's the exact kind of service that I needed. The Installation team members were meticulous, timely, personable, and provided great communication plus education. My CJS team are 3 great men and Technicians. I wish my equipment didn't require a complete replacement but.... it did and I seen the problems with my own eyes. Thank You CJS and Team! You are Stellar!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Standard electric water heaters (about 40 gallons) typically need a 30-amp circuit breaker. But if you have a newer model, a tankless water heater, or one that’s more energy efficient, you’ll likely need a higher amperage to power it. 

Having the right size circuit breaker for your water heater is an important part of making sure it heats water efficiently and runs safely. A licensed electrician can help you navigate your options, and determine what you need for your new water heater. 

Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.

How long do water heaters last? The average tank-style hot water heater will last 8 to 12 years, while a tankless water heater may last up to 20 years. Large families that use a lot of hot water will put more stress on the unit, potentially shortening its lifespan. Regular maintenance and repairs can lengthen the unit’s lifespan.

Yes, you can replace a current tank water heater with a tankless model or vice versa. If you’re maintaining the same fuel source—gas or electricity—the switchover should be smooth. A conventional tank requires open floor space, while a tankless model can be wall-mounted. If you’re switching to a tank water heater, you might need to clear space for it. Gas-powered tankless water heaters need a large volume of gas when they start running to heat the water instantly. You might need to increase the size of the gas line when going from a tank to a tankless model.

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.
