"We awoke with no hot water. Not knowing who to call, we turned to Angie. Within 15 minutes, we received a call from Mike with Stonie Creek. I explained our problem and the location of the water heater. He gave us an arrival time and outlined his process for assessment. First, he arrived at the time that he said that he would. He came into our home and introduced his associate AJ. Again, he explained what he would do. He first looked at repair rather than replace. He wanted to save us money. Unfortunately, our water heater was beyond repair. He called several vendors to find a water heater in stock. He found one. He and AJ got the heater and began installation. It went without a hitch. We had a new water heater within about 3 hours of his initial assessment. I cannot say enough good things about Mike and AJ. They were professional and personable. The price was very fair for the work performed. Should/when the need arises, we will certainly call Stonie Creek again."

"I got a call the same day as I purchased the deal. They were able to come over the same day which was nice. I had issues with some small space heaters blowing the main breaker which made absolutely no sense to me. The breaker was recently inspected by Fairfax county after a renovation that was recently done which makes me wonder how closely the county actually looked at the work (they also missed the fact that the guy didn't put a p-trap in the new bathtub drain). Jake showed up early which was nice and immediately asked if I wanted him to take his shoes off (nice gesture). He understood exactly what I was telling him- he opened up the box and immediately figured out what the issue was - stuff not being tight and too much exposed wire on one of the main hot lines. He knocked it all out in about 20 mins which saved me some money. I can think of several things that another less honest company could have pushed me to buy, but Jake just did what needed to be done. The problem I had is now gone. I told my contractor not to make these mistakes at other houses that he does. Now, I'm not sure if I should send a note to the Fairfax county asking why their inspector didn't tell my contractor to correct this. Another note - the website that they have is really nice. It is so simple, and a lot of services that they do are priced out - you can buy them right up front. I'm not sure why other companies don't make things simple like this. They are 100% digital, too. To pay for the service, I just swiped my cart on the phone and signed. There wasn't any old paper invoices where you rip off the top copy and have this nasty looking pink paper lying around the house. They sent me a text receipt and email. As a tech worker, I thought it was cool how they used square.. it's really simple and easy."

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Gas water heaters last between eight and 12 years on average. You can help them reach their maximum lifespan with regular cleanings, maintenance, and professional checkups, though don’t hesitate to swing for a full replacement if the total cost of repairs is greater than that of purchasing and installing a new unit. 

You can use multiple tankless water heaters, but that doesn’t mean you should. Adding multiple tankless heaters adds considerable cost to your home in both parts and installation costs. Also, you’re adding many more points of failure in the system, making plumbing issues harder to diagnose. More heaters mean more maintenance, and insurers may want a word regarding the increased risk of water damage. A single, larger unit makes more sense in most situations.

No. Expansion tanks must be installed on the supply side (where heated water flows out) of the boiler. There’s also a list of other requirements for most boilers, including being above the pressure relief valves, being on the inner side of any circulator, and more. Your installation manual should have more information on expansion tank installation requirements and what sort of tank the system is made for.

Most hot water heater manufacturers recommend replacing the anode rod about once every three to five years. Anode rods sacrifice themselves by collecting iron, limestone, and other minerals that would otherwise corrode your hot water heater tank. This abuse wears them out long before your water heater does. Check the rod when you remove it and replace it if more than 50% of the metal has been consumed. Check the rod more frequently if you have hard water or use a water softener. 

Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.
