"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

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

While not all homes require a hot water heater expansion tank, they are necessary in most newer homes and are often mandated by local building codes. Codes typically require an expansion tank if your plumbing system is a 'closed-loop' system, which often includes a backflow preventer or pressure regulator on the main water line. Some municipalities have specific requirements. Installing an expansion tank on a closed system is crucial, as it prevents excess pressure that can damage your water heater and other appliances, potentially shortening their lifespan. However, tankless water heaters do not require an expansion tank.

Price variations arise from size, type (tankless or tank), efficiency grades, and installation complexity, including labor and materials.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.

The amount of time it takes to replace an electric water heater will depend on the skill level of the individual who is replacing it. For example, if you replace it yourself–and you don’t have much experience–you can expect the project to take a full day. 

However, if you have a certified plumber or water heater contractor install your new water heater, it can take as little as 2 to 3 hours.
