"My daughter had a great experience with American Mechanical when they installed a Tankless Water Heater. So I called when I needed help figuring out a leak under my kitchen sink. Ed was the plumbing expert that figured out the problem. He provided me with an estimate and answered all my questions. I will use this company to fix this problem and any future plumbing projects I have. Great customer service"

"Charles arrived on time & performed a through diagnostic of my system. He also verified that my air handler & thermostat settings were correct for the components installed with my system. Charles was polite and offered advice on how to keep my system running efficiently. Overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend LightHouse Mechanical and especially Charles for anyone needing HVAC work done."

"Having never used gas heat before and just purchasing an older home I wanted to make sure it was in good operating condition and to learn a bit more about how the system worked. Technician took his time to help me understand the system. Provided what I feel was honest information and was very helpful without pushing replacement of what we all knew is a very old system. He made me feel confident the system was in good working condition and performed a very detailed inspection even with an annoying customer standing over him the entire time. Great job

"After calling to explain the problem, was told to turn the system off with the possibility that someone might come out the same day. They called back shortly to set up an appointment for service at an agreeable time the next day (within 24 hours). The two men arrived on time and checked the equipment. They found the likely cause of the problem, were very pleasant, informative, and professional. We plan to set up a seasonal maintenance program with this same company for two independent heating/cooling units in our home.

"Installer came unprepared to to fix fire caulk he damaged as well as not having a lift device to get the water heater onto it's stand. Had to go buy fire caulk at my expense and find a board for him to slide new water heater up to get it on the heater stand."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

An average-sized empty water heater weighs around 150 pounds. Tankless water heaters are much lighter, weighing between 10 and 50 pounds. The smaller size and added convenience come at a price, though—tankless water heaters average about twice the price of their traditional counterparts.

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.

A well-maintained hot water recirculating pump can last 5 to 15 years. Pumps that run continuously may have a shorter lifespan than demand-controlled models. Hard water can reduce longevity by causing mineral buildup in the pump and pipes. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing filters, can extend the pump’s lifespan.

No state requires you to vent an electric water heater. Other installation requirements for water heaters will vary, though, depending on the state and local jurisdiction in which you live. Some places require permits, while others don’t. Some may force you to place the appliance a certain distance from any walls or other appliances, while others don't. When you find a local professional to install a water heater, this expert will ensure you follow all the local regulations.
