"It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Clean Water has served El Paso for 30 years and is the longest standing water filtration company in the city. The owner is honest, caring, and a consummate professional. He continues to ensure our system is in great working condition. He took care of our office as well. I would highly recommend Jay and his team!"

"When we ordered the inspection, they came out to our home very quickly. They seemed honest about our heating unit, although it needed to replaced in the upcoming years, they said it would work just fine in the near future, saving us money in the long run. I look forward to using Startech in the future.

"Service guy came as scheduled. Sent his "service" requirements to home base Home base calls back and lists, a very long list of what needs to be done and a very long list of what is not covered and what each item costs. The overall cost was outrageous and they weren't willing to give it to me in writing. Everything I had to pay for was overpriced, of course! They told me my other option would be to purchase my own water heater and they would reimburse me for what there water heater would cost, but no reimbursement for Labor, building permit, or any upgrades required by the local building department. The requirements of the building department were minimal. I went to Home Depot and had them do the installation and saved many hundreds of dollars. Lesson learned, have AHS do simpler repairs that don't require municipal building department approval. Have AHS pay for the equipment, and purchase installation from a trusted local installer."

Two employees came on time and on date that I was promised.  Right away they begin removing old water heater and draining it.  They cleaned area before installing new water heater, which I was pleased with. They answered all my questions and they informed me that my water heater was going to be brought up to code.  Young man took time to show me what was going to be done.  They carry all parts with them so I didn't have to run to Lowes or Home depot to get parts before they got here.  The employees were very polite and professional.  They cleaned up the area very well after they were done too.  The young man showed me what was done before paying them.  Also, I was given an itemized invoice of all parts. The additional fee was $279.00 for parts and bring up to code.

"We met at the rental house within an hour of me making the phone call. He checked the water heater thoroughly and did what needed to be done; also checked the water pressure in the house as he fixed a leaking faucet outside for me. Very satisfied with the service, friendliness and explanation of repairs. Would definately recommend C & S Plumbing!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Yes, this would be an appropriate choice. In order to comply with the National Electric Code’s rules, you'll need to install a circuit breaker that's 125% larger than the intended load. In this case, you'll multiply 30 amps by 1.25 to find the necessary breaker size. Plugging that equation in for your 30-amp water heater will leave you with a 37.6-amp breaker. If your current water heater keeps tripping the breaker, it might be time to talk to a plumber or electrician about upgrading your water heater's setup.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

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.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget. 

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection

Installing a water heater without a permit can result in high fines—as much as hundreds of dollars per day, in some areas. It can also void your homeowners' insurance and cause problems when selling your home because it violates local building codes and safety regulations.
