Cottrell & Co., Inc. Plumbing, Heating and Air is a full service residential and commercial plumbing, heating and air company that has proudly served the Columbia and Lexington areas since 1995. We have enjoyed building a reputation of excellence through quality parts, expert employees and maintaining high standards of workmanship. We pride ourselves in communication with our customers by listening, offering multiple solutions and always giving the price upfront. We also offer 24-hour emergency services.

"Do not use this company for backflow tests! I called Cottrell for a simple backflow device test. I was charged $213 for a backflow test which was over twice the amount I was told to expect by friends and family who had the same test done by other plumbers (one even showed me his invoice for $35.00). It is an absurd price for a very simple test and far overpriced compared to other plumbers in the area."

"Beautiful work. However, was told it would be a one day project. Wound up taking parts of two days. Still believe it could have been done in one day if the crew, Alan and Thomas, hadn’t left shortly after 2pm the first day. They came back the second day and finished in about 3 hours; that’s including their break time. I’m very pleased with the finished project, but can’t give a higher rating because of the crew."

"AJ Plumbing responded to my inquiry for an estimate regarding a plumbing problem. They were at my residence within an hour after making contact with me. They gave an estimate on-the spot and it was very reasonable compared to other estimates that I had been given. AJ completed the initial repair and even took care of another problem that I pointed out that needed attention. AJ had the needed supplies on his truck and finished all of the work within 2 hours. He cleaned up the work area and left everything secure and safe. I definitely would use AJ again and recommend him as a good person and a knowledgeable plumber. Greg in Ballentine, SC"

"This is the third time I have hired Craftsman Construction for work on my home. Jim is completely dedicated to making sure the job is done right. I come from a long line of home builders (even working construction myself) and both my partner and I are very particular about the way things get done. Jim went above and beyond to make sure our expectations were met, and if we saw anything that we didn't like, Jim happily set it to our standard. He also was able to recommend several cost-saving measures that help us save some money. I won't go to anyone else for home repairs."

"Having not worked with a contractor on this large of a project was a little daunting. Kevin did a nice job with communications, flexibility, and hitting our timeline. The craftsmanship was at or above our expectations. Also, his experience and knowledge were great in offering solutions and options when issues came up. We would use them again."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.

Not all types of water heaters require a venting system. Electric tankless water heaters don’t use natural or propane gas, so no venting is required. Instead, they use electric burners to heat water quickly and efficiently. However, any system that does use gas or propane will require ventilation.

A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, but just how long your tankless water heater lasts depends on how much water you use, how well you maintain your water heater, and the water hardness level in your area. A unit that constantly has mineral buildup from hard water may have a shorter life span.

It takes between one and three hours to replace a hot water heater element, depending on whether you hire a pro or do the work yourself. For example, a professional plumber with all the necessary tools and experience can often finish the job in one to two hours, whereas DIY will take two to three hours because it'll involve more preparation and troubleshooting.
