"Showed up, tested, diagnosed, filled the system with coolant, pointed out general maintenance issues that had not been addressed like dirty/clogged filters etc. Took credit card for payment. Excellent service! Even managed to send the tech out the day after we reached out to them."

"The owner, is technically competent. I have technical background and I bombarded Brendan with lot of questions on scientific and mathematical and technical functions of heat pump, but Brendan immediately came up with satisfactory technical and scientific responses which cleared doubts and gave me optimism. Brendan and his team made feasibility study at the house and took measurements to ascertain the size of the heat pump and necessary modifications to the existing system in order to make new heat pump and system work efficiently with low costs of electricity and maintenance and with very low noise!!! The installation done by Brendan and his team appeared to be supported with stability. Trial run of new system initially made the team of Freedom Heating & Air to do fine tuning and now the system is working comfortably with very low noise, etc ."

"I had researched replacing my broken standard water heater with a whole house instant water heater and Plumb Perfect was directed to me by HomeAdvisor. Mr. Alexander had GREAT communication with me on arriving on time and my options with what I had already researched. He offered another option that I was previously not aware of that would save me nearly $1000 on initial costs from what I had researched online. Mr. Alexander was extremely courteous, professional and was genuinely interested in my needs being met over his final costs. I can't say enough about how comfortable I was with his recommendations, attitude and demeanor towards this project. He gave me honest and clear pros and cons towards my research that I may not have considered as well as for his recommendations and let me decide what I thought was best for my situation. I have added his number to my favorites list and will call upon him again if I need his services. If you are ever in need of a plumber Mr. Alexander with Plumb Perfect should be your first call. Thank you for your service Mr. Alexander, Ed. B"

"Our furnace motor was making a loud noise, and Chris Suttles came by and diagnosed the problem shortly after I called. He fixed the problem that afternoon, and the furnace is now quieter than it's ever been. I asked him to come by the next week and give the furnace a tune-up and clean the heating ducts. When Chris opened one of the supply ducts, he found the inside of the ducts had a sticky, oil-like coating. I decided to replace the ductwork, and he replaced all of the ductwork in 2 days. The air coming out of our vents is now cleaner, warmer, and stronger."

"Murray and Sons quickly contacted me about my water heater replacement project. They were able to provide an immediate quote over the phone. They worked around my crazy schedule to get me an appointment within three days. They showed up when promised and got the job done. There were several extra things that came up which they could have easily used to raise the price above the quote but they didn't do that. The final finished installation was better than expected. And, best of all, this new water heater was installed in a way that will make it possible for me to do future replacements. I was concerned in the beginning, since they didn't have any plumbing reviews. But, their electric service reviews were excellent. I decided to give them a chance; after all, it was only a water heater. I'm glad I took the chance on them. I now have hot water again and I'm very pleased. Not many business cards make it onto my fridge but Murray and Sons Electrical is now on there."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Unless you have previous plumbing experience or extensive experience with water heaters, you should avoid replacing your electric water heater yourself. This process involves disconnecting wiring and parts from the old water heater and reinstalling them onto the new one, among other difficult tasks. This job is best left to the pros to make sure that everything is connected correctly to avoid serious leaks or malfunctions.

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

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.

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 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.
