"We discovered that a corroded supply pipe to our main water cutoff valve had leaked over 33,000 gallons (per the local utility) while we were gone on vacation. We contacted Benjamin Franklin and they dispatched a two-person team within 30 minutes (at the end of the day). They dug around the main cut off valve and found the line break and repaired it with a new pipe connection. Then they retested it and asked that we flush the bathtub faucet (one without an aerator) to clear any possible grass or sediment debris that may have been trapped in the water line. After validating our pressure was correct, they completed the job. I was happy with their responsiveness and work quality. I would not hesitate to use them again."

"Mr. Cook returned my call very quickly and arranged to come by this morning (hours after my SOS went out.) He and Chris replaced the tank innards and handles on both toilets in very short order and didn't charge me for the handles! Lovely people, both of them. Honest, reliable, pleasant and smart. I am going to have him do our backflow testing and, later replace our hot water heater."

". There was no power in the garage and he replaced the outlets. He went on top of the house to make sure that everything was okay there and that there was no water leakage. He also replaced the switch and looked into the box outside. He also checked at no cost another socket which we were having problems with. We used the coupon. When I called him he gave me two three options when he would be available to come over take a look at the work and give us an estimate. So I had the choice of the time and set it up when we would be at home. He was on time. We appreciated that. We set up a time for him to come back. He was flexible because we wanted to make sure that one of us was here. He was on time again. He was clean he was unobtrusive and he made no noise. He did what he had to do. Whenever he moved around he would say something so that we would know where he was. He even gave us a detailed invoice. I have recommended him to others who are single and homeowners who want somebody whom they can trust. I would use him in the future."

"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

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.

Water heater installation code requirements are in place to keep your family and home safe. Water heaters that are installed wrong can simply not work. However, that's an, if you're lucky, type of situation. More commonly, incorrectly installed water heaters pose a real threat from carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, water leaks, and even explosions. 

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.

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.

When replacing an old unit, you might want to switch from a gas water heater to an electric water heater or vice versa. To do this, you will likely need to add infrastructure to the area. For example, you likely don’t have a gas line that served your old electric water heater. You’d have to call a plumber to put in a new gas line. If you’re replacing a gas unit with an electric one, the plumber will need to safely cap the old gas line. You will then need an electrician to add wiring for the new electric unit.
