"They attempted to replace a part in the water heater and when it did not solve the problem, they immediately diagnosed that our water heater needed to be replaced at a cost of $2,100 as the old one was "dead". Once they replaced our system with a brand new one, the problem persisted. At that time they recommended that the plumbing connected to the water heater needed to be replaced as they were old. Once they did that, the system started working. The above process proved to us that the original diagnosis was not accurate and that our existing water heater was not the problem to begin with as their new one also did not produce hot water until the pipes was fixed and we could've fixed the problem with a couple of hundreds of dollars of fixing the plumbing rather than a $2,100 unnecessary expense of changing the system. I asked them to take our old water heater and clean it up and bring it back for installation in a different location in our house. They kept our old system for over a month but never did any work on it and when I called and left a message for the owner of the business to get an update on the status of our repair, my calls would not be returned until I left a message that I would dispute my credit card payment of $2,100 if I did not get a return call with a status on the return of our old water heater; at which time the owner called back immediately and started yelling and screaming and accusing me of being the rudest person he had dealt with. I reminded him to think about his comment as he was the one who was not returning customers calls and that he was screaming at a customer and invited him to think as to who was the rude person. I asked him to return our heater which he did the following Monday and left it at our backdoor. I recommend you always get a second opinion on their recommendations before you award them a job."

"The technician came right out and replaced the hot water heater very quickly. He brought us up to code also. I was somewhat surprised at the cost but apparently the cost of a hot water heater has increased significantly since replacing one several years ago."

"Preferred Home Services installed a brand new Split unit HVAC system including ductwork. They were fast efficient extremely professional and very knowledgeable. They explained everything they were doing before during and after they did it. Most importantly they cleaned up afterwards, to the point you couldn't even tell they were here. I also had them install a brand new water heater while they were at it. Everything is brand new and up to code I am very pleased. Thank you Angie's List for the referral. I will consider Preferred Home Services as my go-to from now on for my HVAC and water heater."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

A tankless water heater with a flow rate of 10 GPM should replace a conventional 50-gallon water heater. To avoid a surprise cold shower or two and to keep your energy costs in check, it's important to replace a conventional tanked water heater with the equivalent tankless water heater. Your household size and the number of hot-water-using devices you use at once can help you determine the best-size tankless water heater.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

You have more options for water heaters than ever before. The best one for your home depends on your hot water usage and budget. Some of the more common types of water heaters are the conventional gas heater, a heat pump water heater, or a tankless heater for smaller homes or those with less water demands. Some uncommon types are solar and point-of-use systems. Some homes may have a combination of two units, such as a large heat pump heater and a backup point-of-use system.

A thermocouple is a pretty simple device. It simply tells the control valve if heat is present. Most water heaters can use a universal thermocouple, provided it's the correct length. Getting one that's long enough for your appliance is crucial for success. However, some water heater models require model-specific thermocouples, which is why it's essential to take your existing one to the store to find the right match.
