"We received estimates from multiple HVAC companies, all the estimates were within a few hundred dollars of each other, and all the companies installed reputable brands of systems. One of the primary decisions to pick this company over the others was due to more favorable financing terms. There was a small snafu with clearance of the water heater exhaust, which was noticed by the technicians before beginning the work. Ultimately, they decided to fix the exhaust issue, which included a lot of extra work, but enabled them to complete the installation of the new furnace within a week that the work was originally scheduled. And they did not charge extra to do this extra work, which is a bonus. The installers, Kyle and Hunter, did a great job, were very knowledgeable, and were very personable/professional. We would highly recommend to others."
Logan A/C & Heat Services offered value, competitive pricing, top of the line Trane equipment, nice financing options that other companies did not offer. Dan was my sales rep that offered the above services. Bobby was the installer & was professional & did a great job. Install was scheduled on a Monday after I committed on a Friday; so very quick! Trane 20XV & Trane XC95m.

"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."

"Taylor Thibodeau was wonderful! He assessed the situation, explained the options and gave me the cost. He was very professional, courteous and friendly. He worked all afternoon removing and installing my water heater. He wore the booties and put them on the wheels of the dolly to protect my carpet. He cleaned up when he was finished. Added bonus, Amazon delivered two heavy boxes while he was here, and knowing I recently had shoulder surgery, he carried the boxes up my stairs for me! He moved furniture back in place. I highly recommend. Schneller also offers a 10 year warranty on cost and labor! I would have given a better rating on value of the cost, but I have no idea what the cost should be. Side note, I waited from 8am to noon for another plumbing company (whose name sounds happy). I finally called around 2:30 pm, and was told the plumber was delayed!! A phone call would have been nice! So I decided not to use them."

"This is the most professional contractor I have worked with (and I have worked with many) over the last 15 years). They were exceptional from their sales team to their installers and follow-up team after the projects were complete. They made sure I was happy with every aspect of my projects. I feel so fortunate to have gone with them. Of the 6 estimates I received, their total prices for furnaces, AC and water heaters were in the middle of the pack and reasonable. Everything else they did was truly first rate and 5 Stars. Plus their 15 year service warranty is unbeatable in Cincinnati and probably everywhere. I will recommend them to everyone who asks about HVAC and water heaters. Thank you!"

"We had a problem not only with water pressure and but with trying to get a old shower head off. He used several different tools but finally got it off. It was stuck as if someone used gorilla/super glue. He was very professional and gave me several recommendations on other products I might consider. I like his work very much. He wasn't a pushy sales person. I will be calling him back for furture plumbing needs"

"We had a gas hot water heater replaced and installed on 06/12/2020. Chris was polite, courteous, and honest. When we called him, he always answered immediately. There was no waiting for weeks to get the hot water installed. Chris purchased the hot water heater, delivered it, installed it, cleaned up, and got rid of the old hot water heater. We were very impressed and pleased with the service. We will use Watson and Son Plumbing again for any plumbing problems."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

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.
