"The outside spigot froze and the line busted Christmas Eve. Jason was down the street taking care of a neighborâ s problem. I saw the van and walked down to ask if he would stop at my house on his way out just to see what could be done to enable having water until a repair could be made. He was kind enough to stop at my house, cap off the line and turn my water back on. He also diagnosed a problem with the water pressure valve that has been ongoing for several years (that others didnâ t figure out). He scheduled a day to repair that and did a fabulous job! He returned a few days later and replaced all the water shut off valves inside my home. He left the areas clean. I feel he treated my home like he would want his treated. I will definitely recommend him to anyone that asks."

"My hot water heater, located in the attic of my patio home, went out. Water through the ceiling. I jumped on to look for a plumber. He has 5 stars, is local, not commercialized. AJ's Plumbing LLC responded quickly. Within 24 hours, I have a new hot water heater, the old one removed. An honest man and keeping business local. Communication 5 stars. Workmanship 5 stars."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Replacing facilitates energy savings, decreases repair frequency, and aligns with modern safety regulations, maximizing safety.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

If your gas water heater is over 20 years old, it should be replaced. Gas water heaters can last up to 12 years and while they can exceed this expectancy if well-maintained, a heater that's 20 years old would require replacement. The heater is unlikely to run as efficiently as a new model and could be more expensive to do so.

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.
