"Part of the reason we chose them was a deal we saw on the website. However, when they came out to provide a quote, we didn't qualify. Just left a bad taste in my mouth and being able to trust any 'deals' being mentioned in the future. However the service and installation by the installer was excellent. Super nice and thorough. Water heater runs great."

"I had a busted water heater. They were very prompt to respond to my problem. They worked on Saturday to resolve my initial problem. They were very helpful and courteous through the whole process of ordering what I needed and installed it when it got here. I would use them again."

"Gas Tankless Water Heater Installation An excellent service right from our initial inquiry for a quote to completion of the work. The whole process took 14 days. Oleg was very knowledgeable which showed with the advice given and the speed and care he took in his work (heater placement, pipework, venting etc). The space was left clean and tidy. Fast, friendly and efficient. Very professional and great workmanship. Definitely value for money! I’ve no hesitation in recommending Pipedex and will be using them again in the future; the annual inspection has already been scheduled for next year."

"They arrived on time and in a VERY obvious hot pink van (pretty cool). Ken was courteous and answered my questions very clearly and quoted me a reasonable price... far less than I had been quoted by other companies. After a couple of hours, I had a new water heater. They left the work space tidy and I was able to pay right there on the spot with a card. I found out after speaking with the plumber that they are female owned and operated. BONUS!! I will definitely call these guys in the future should anything arise. Ladies, support this business!!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.

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.

When installing a new furnace, it's a good time to consider other projects that can enhance your home's energy efficiency. A great first step is to get a home energy audit, which will identify areas for improvement. Common recommendations include sealing or replacing windows and adding insulation to the attic. These upgrades can help you save money on monthly utility costs. You might also consider installing a smart thermostat to make heating your home more convenient and efficient.

Yes, a water heater can be replaced in a day and can take between two and three hours to install from start to finish. Even if you encounter extra tasks that need to be completed, the job can still be completed in one day.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
