"I hesitated during this virus to have my water heater replaced, but John and his assistant came in with full masks, gloves, and booties, so I felt very safe. I have already recommended them to a neighbor. His price was lower than the one received by my neighbor by another service."

"Removed and disposed of old cast iron baseboard in kitchen (to make way for sliding patio doors) then supplied and installed copper piping & fittings to re-connect remaining baseboard. Chris and team always do a good clean job and I like the ease of doing business."

"Highly Recommend! I recently received a call from my father who lives in Burrillville RI with a severe plumbing leak. Living in NY, I panicked until I spoke with Bill over the phone (after calling two other companies and left messages. Bill answered). He asked great questions, and was able to instruct us over the phone where to shut the water off to the house until he could arrive. He shuffled his schedule to get to my father's house that day! Bill and his assistant found the issue, repaired it while on site, and the price he charged was well under what I anticipated! Phenomenal job, highly recommend!!"

"Bill was extremely responsive and a true professional. I could tell he had a wealth of knowledge. I had a short window of time to replace an indirect water heater. He was on it. Set the appt. to measure and the date to complete the job was exactly what I needed to keep guest plans for the upcoming weekend. I will be sure to keep his # handy!!! Great work, great job, and a nice guy. Hit the jackpot with this one!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can convert a gas water heater to an electric one, but it is a complex process. You will need to ensure there is adequate power for the new electric unit, as they require more power than gas models. The project also involves safely closing off the gas lines and ventilation, and some cities may require a permit for the conversion. The cost can range from $1,500 to $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical work, and the water heater model. For an accurate quote, it's best to contact a local professional. Also, be aware that your monthly utility bills may increase after the conversion, as natural gas is typically cheaper than electricity.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, which is nearly double the lifespan of a conventional tank heater. However, their longevity is highly dependent on several factors. With proper installation and regular maintenance, such as descaling to prevent mineral buildup from hard water, you can expect a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Without proper care, a tankless unit may begin to fail in as little as 12 years. Other factors that affect its lifespan include household usage and the quality of the local water supply. While they have a higher upfront cost, their energy savings, smaller size, and longer life make them a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

If your gas water heater is over 20 years old, it should be replaced. Gas water heaters can last up to 12 years and while they can exceed this expectancy if well-maintained, a heater that's 20 years old would require replacement. The heater is unlikely to run as efficiently as a new model and could be more expensive to do so.

There are pros and cons to tankless water heaters. They are more efficient than traditional tank water heaters, and maintenance costs are lower. These units are also much more compact. On the other hand, they cost about twice as much to install as traditional tank water heaters and are more limited in terms of flow rate.

The right way to vent a gas water heater is to have a pipe directly upward or slopes upward out of the house. Because hot air naturally rises, this type of venting will efficiently ensure that all gas moves out of the house. Your system may rely on fans or blowers as well.
