He always explains things and never tries to rip you off. He is very honest and that goes a long way! Plus he walks you through everything to double check and makes sure everything is working correctly before he leaves. Today I had a pleasure of meeting his helper Byren. He was very respectful, nice and a hard worker. He went above and beyond when he noticed I had a water leak coming from my portable A/C. I was using that until they got here. He not only pointing it out but offered to help clean it up for me. Just, So that no one gets the wrong impression... I have a very old unit! So each visit was for separate issues.

"My chest freezer broke down and I did not want to buy a new one since I could not afford the same size. I reached out to appliance parts pro and they were confident that what I ordered would fix my problem. $200 in parts later and I now have a broken freezer on my porch and am still paying the loan to this terrible company.

"Highly over priced and poor quality. Left an exposed outlet dangling by wires as temporary power. The fix was a partly mounted outlet that would pull out of the box and trip the circuit breaker. Used lower rated wiring not best suited for outdoors. Improperly mounted ceiling boxes caused me to fail inspection. I have to pay another electrician to correct the issues and replace a breaker with a lower rating."

"PLEASE DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. The company came out and service my system years back. They replaced my system with a new system. I kept my old system in the back. What they did I couldn't believe they returned and took my old trane heating unit and replaced it with an hailer. I called them and asked to return my Trane unit. My phone calls were no longer taken. I spent $6,000 on that new unit and they in return stole my Trane unit and replaced it with a cheaper brand. I definitely will be calling the police on this. This is how u treat customers who paid you. It's called GREED and STEALING. I spent $6,000 on a new unit and they did this. Asked Renee the name of this business owner she didn't respond to my email or calls."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

A tankless water heater with a flow rate of 10 GPM should replace a conventional 50-gallon water heater. To avoid a surprise cold shower or two and to keep your energy costs in check, it's important to replace a conventional tanked water heater with the equivalent tankless water heater. Your household size and the number of hot-water-using devices you use at once can help you determine the best-size tankless water heater.

If you’re having problems with your hot water heater and it’s 10 to 15 years old—the typical life span of a gas hot water heater—you may want to consider replacing it rather than repairing it. Water heater replacement costs about $1,300 on average. If your water heater is younger than nine or 10 years, paying for repairs is most likely worth it. You can always have a plumber assess your fixture to see what it would cost to fix it and then decide if it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace it.

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.

Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.

You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.

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.
