"Ti was able to schedule same day installation after a holiday weekend, when our water heater decided to burst. Cameron was very professional and water heater installation went very smooth. Also, did some code corrections that the previous plumber had installed. I would definitely hire this company for another plumbing project."

"Our water heater began to leak. Vitaly was able to research the age and quickly determined that it was past its useful life. He procured a new one and installation was completed the very next day."

"Same day service without any extra fees. They arrived quickly and were able to fix my water heater in no time. It's an older unit so they did quote a replacement, good info for the future. They were super knowledgeable, professional, answered all my questions and explained the issue/ solution. Stayed to make sure everything was working, I'm happy to have hot water again! Quoted price was the final price but I wish there was an option to tip."

"Paul from PB Plumbing was courteous, punctual and did outstanding work. He installed a new water heater, kitchen faucet and garbage disposal. He also straightened out the plumbing mess under my kitchen sink from previous handy men. I highly recommend this business."

"Anton was a genuine pleasure to work with. He is a consummate professional and the work he did for me was excellent. My relief valve on my hot water heater blew on the weekend. I put a request for service out on Angie on a Sunday morning, he responded about 30 minutes later and came by about an hour later with NO request for a weekend emergency fee. He was the first plumber of the respondents that I dealt with, but after about 30 minutes, I was confident he was he was a solid choice for the job. I was not disappointed. He had my hot water heater back in service on the initial visit, and the hot water tank replaced and all work completed by the following Wednesday (tank was over 15 years old). His pricing was very reasonable and his work and professionalism was top-notch. If I have any further plumbing needs, this is the only guy I will call."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:

  • Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.

  • Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.

  • Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.

  • Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.

  • Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.

If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.

Unusual noises, lack of hot water supply, efficiency loss, and visible leaks are signs of necessary replacement beyond mere repair.
