"I highered Bruce and his team, we're very happy with the service. They installed a couple new baseboard heaters to our existing unit to add more heat to a few rooms that's were cooler than we liked. We're very happy and much warmer. Bruce and his team were responsive and open to everything they were doing. Fast and efficient highly recommended!"

"Bill, the Owner came to my house the same day, which I really appreciated since I was without water. He did a quick fix with the pipe because my home water system broke and blew releasing a strong current of water that left a minor flood on that side of the basement until I turned the water off"

Others wanted to take the shortcut and do ?pex? , Jon did all old school copper and no quick connects , everything was soldered .i can say enough , they would be at my door at 7 am sharp everyday. Withought south county plumbing is the areas best plumber , honest, neat, and quality"

"Derek came over the same day I called looking for a price quote. He correctly diagnosed the problem and agreed to replace the in- ground pump immediately. No money down. Payment due after I was satisfied the work was complete. The price was fair. The work was professionally completed the same day. The Warranty information was clearly explained and documented. But more importantly, I had the confidence the entire water system had been tested and the bad pump was the only problem. Very honest contractor. Would highly recommend."

"Our water heater started leaking around 7:30 at night. I ended up in touch with Service Magic, and not 5 min later, Scott was calling to respond to the request. He had just gotten in from a long day, but helped over the phone tremendously. He even took my call at 9:00 when I called back to ask if they accept credit cards. He made an appointment for the next morning, and gave me a quote over the phone. My husband was home when they came to replace the water heater, and was incredibly impressed with the job they did. Price was exactly what was quoted, and service was great. They even answered my husband's questions about other items in our house."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

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.

On average, a tankless water heater should last between 10 and 15 years. Its lifespan will be affected by how much it's used, the effect of weather where your home is on the unit—colder is harsher and will shorten lifespan—and if the heater is maintained appropriately and regularly. There are many signs your water heater needs to be replaced, so pay attention to anything that changes with your heater or hot water.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.

Unless you have previous plumbing experience or extensive experience with water heaters, you should avoid replacing your electric water heater yourself. This process involves disconnecting wiring and parts from the old water heater and reinstalling them onto the new one, among other difficult tasks. This job is best left to the pros to make sure that everything is connected correctly to avoid serious leaks or malfunctions.
