"Andrew did a fantastic job finding the source of my wet basement. We thought it was a faulty water heater initially based on location of water. However, after inspecting the water heater, he discovered the water softener discharge lines came loose and where spraying water during recharge. After fixing the lines, Andrew went over water heater maintenance and answered all my questions. I will definitely use Eco Plumbing in the future and ask for Andrew. Eco is a fair and honest company! Thank you!!!"

"I used Plumb Tite to install a tankless water heater. The pricing was straight forward and fair. The service technician was professional and courteous. He showed up on time and cleaned up the workspace afterwards. I would definitely recommend Plumb Tite."

"They came Highly recommended and I can see why. They were prompt, knowledgeable, attentive to my concerns, and very reasonable. They were able to offer recommendations and provide a quote prior to work being started. I had several things replaced (faucets, water line, and hot water tank). I am very pleased and would recommend them for any job, big or small. I can't say enough about these guys."

"James did an outstanding job. He contacted me 15 minutes after he received my information from Angi. We set up a time and he arrived 30 minutes after we talked on the phone. He provided me a quote. I hired him and also had him do other work while he was there. He replaced my water heater, replaced outside facet, plus a couple of minor things that he found. He completed everything to perfection within 4 hour of me submitting my request. James was very professional,, very affordable, and answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. I have added James to my list of experts to call and he #1 on my plumbers list now. I would definitely hire again."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

We recommend you turn off the unit, the power, and the water supply as soon as you notice a leak. Your water heater tank should have a dedicated shut-off valve located on the cold inlet pipes. If the valve is broken or inoperable, use the shut-off valve to your home's main water supply to stop the flow to the entire house.

Avoid touching valves or pipes directly without confirming if they are hot. Wear gloves and other safety gear to keep from coming into contact with hot levers or components when turning off your leaking water heater.

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

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

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.

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.

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.
