"This service was for the yearly service for our Tankless Water Heater. Technician, Jordan, arrived on time and went right to work. He took time to explain the process, showed us exactly what he was doing and all the necessary steps to complete the job. We have been here four years, and we have the system serviced yearly. Jordan explained Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is a family owned business of three generations. The business is truly invested in providing quality service. We are very pleased with the service. This is an expensive piece of equipment, and it's worth the price of servicing to keep it running efficiently."

"It is not often that one finds a contractor who does what he says he will do. Jason Milian did just that. He set up a time to come put in my water heater and stuck to it. In fact, he and his helper stayed all day and into the evening without taking lunch, just so that we would have hot water before he left. He even followed up twice to make sure that everything was running without any problems. Now, that is service! I definitely recommend Genesis Plumbing CSRA for your plumbing needs. Just to let you know how much I believe in the company, I plan on hiring them again sometime in the future for a major project: removing old drainage pipes (one of which is a 6 inch cast iron section) and replacing them. Jason has seen the project and knows what is involved (a lot of crawling underneath a 102 year old house)."

"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

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.

Yes, this would be an appropriate choice. In order to comply with the National Electric Code’s rules, you'll need to install a circuit breaker that's 125% larger than the intended load. In this case, you'll multiply 30 amps by 1.25 to find the necessary breaker size. Plugging that equation in for your 30-amp water heater will leave you with a 37.6-amp breaker. If your current water heater keeps tripping the breaker, it might be time to talk to a plumber or electrician about upgrading your water heater's setup.

The average cost to replace a water heater is around $1,325, with a typical range of $900 to $1,800 for a standard replacement. The final price depends on the type of heater (tank vs. tankless), its size, fuel source (gas or electric), and the complexity of the installation. A simple one-to-one replacement will be on the lower end of the cost spectrum. However, if you are switching from one type of heater or energy source to another, you can expect labor costs to be significantly higher due to the extra work involved. It's also worth considering that while gas and electric heaters may have similar upfront costs, their long-term operating costs can differ based on local utility prices.
