"Greg came quickly to help us with water in our house, the main meter was off due to a hot water faucet that wouldn't turn off. He was her in 45 mins and was able to fix the problem. I was able to shower in the morning and have water for the house with three adults and three children. It was a total relief and so appreciated. Greg was so nice and helpful, he also fixed a leaking outside faucet that was causing me stress. I would refer him to anyone needing plumbing. Thank you again Greg."

"We hired Tidy Plumbing to do our backflow testing. Since I'm newer to the area and we didn't do that where we used to live, we were thankful to find such kind people to help. They did the testing and handled the paperwork that needed to be submitted. We will absolutely have Tidy Plumbing do all our plumbing work."

"Immediately responded to schedule appointment and friendly. Technician was helpful with an estimate and quickly replaced the faulty expansion tank. However, the amount of communication by phone and text from the dispatch was on the verge of nagging and the tech cancelled the appointment the morning of. Got rescheduled and it worked out though."

"Shopped around and Severson was a recommended by several contacts including the resort where we have our rental (a testament in and of itself). Great experience from initial contact with Amanda to fixing plumbing issue with Anthony. Working with them from out of town they provided photos of drainage issue! Will definitely use them again."

"Far to expensive for roughly 2 hours of labor and parts. Was charged $1,075 to hook up an external, above ground 3,000 gallon potable water tank now plumbed into the pumphouse with a shallow well pump. Guess I have spent my life in the wrong business. Feel like I got scalped financially. Nice young men but the sticker shock has left a bad taste in my mouth."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

The size needed for your expansion tank is determined by the size of your home's water heater. Expansion tanks are available in 2-gallon and 4.5-gallon sizes. A 2-gallon tank will be appropriate for water heaters up to 50 gallons. An adequately sized tank should have a volume that equals 2% to 5% of the water volume within the system. A plumber can evaluate your home's water pressure, water heater size, and other factors to provide suggestions for picking out the best expansion tank.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.
