"We wanted the main waterline from house to street, and hot water heater replaced. After reading reviews, we chose Wisler Plumbing and Heating to do this work. Wisler reached out daily in advance to let us know who was coming to perform the work. Each employee we met was very professional, responsive, and diligent with their duties. Davey provided us with a quote for this work. Hats off to Matt for replacing the water heater! The waterline was a difficult project, due to the location. Adam and Wes did an outstanding job, excavating, replacing the water line, and for their work on restoring our yard. We will definitely use Wisler Plumbing and Heating again for any projects we may have in the future!"

"The contractors from freedom heating and Air were very fast and efficient with their work. They came in and took a look at what needed to be done. Took about 5 to 10 minutes to go get the equipment they needed and in less than a hour they were done. My wife and I are very pleased with the choice of hiring them to fix a leaky pipe that was leading to our gas furnace and the price for doing the job was well in our budget."

"The technician responded to a Sunday morning call to check on a lack of water coming into the house by arriving later that afternoon.  He then spent two hours testing the switch, guage and tank on the well.  When nothing conclusive was determined, he said he would return later in the week to measure the depth of the well, thinking that perhaps it had run out of water or that the pump wasn't low enough.  He returned on Thursday as scheduled, tested the water depth without pulling the pump, thereby saving me at least $700, and then found a problem in the toilet.  He addressed that and gave me some dye to use to test for further leaks in the toilet.  He suggested I put a low-water cut-off switch on the well pump and I agreed.  When he called later to schedule that job, I told him I had changed my mind, but he came by anyway to check on the toilet.  In all he spent about 6 hours at the house, talked me through each test he performed and made recommendations as to how to deal with the situation in the long term."

"Chris, Luis and Travis were great!They were easy to reach and quick to visit us (despite our post-snowstorm driveway conditions). They all communicate well and ensure an understanding on both sides every step of the way. Travis and a colleague were both courteous while in our home and did a nice, clean install of a new water softener and sediment filter. We’re very happy with the service we received so highly recommend Plumbing Champions!"

"Great Local Company to say the least. I had them install and outlet in my pantry where the previous homeowner had a water softener installed. They never had and outlet put in and used an extension cord, I didn't like that hazard. Murray & Sons Electrical was very prompt on answering from home advisor, provided a free estimate which is always nice. Very welling to work with my schedule and had it installed rather quickly. Very professional and respectful, Cleaned up all of the project mess. You wont go wrong with using this company!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

While a water heater explosion is rare, it is a serious danger. Be aware of these critical warning signs:

  • Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell: This is a major red flag, especially for gas water heaters. It can indicate a gas leak, which could ignite and cause an explosion.

  • Leaking Pressure Valve: If the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is leaking, it may not be able to properly regulate internal pressure, creating a risk of bursting.

  • Shaking or Rumbling: Loud rumbling or shaking from the tank can be a sign of extreme pressure buildup.

  • Excessive Heat: If the exterior of the water heater feels unusually hot to the touch, the unit may be overheating dangerously.

  • Rust-Colored Water: This can be a symptom of severe internal corrosion that compromises the tank's integrity.

If you notice any of these signs, especially a gas smell, you must act immediately. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and call a professional plumber right away to prevent a potential disaster.

Basements, specifically those without any air conditioning, are the best location for a hybrid water heater. These rooms are less likely to experience extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect your hybrid water heater’s efficiency and performance. Basements often have more than enough space for their tanks and proper air circulation. Hybrid water heaters can also be a bit noisy, but putting them in your basement will keep the noise away from your main living areas.

Traditional gas or electric water heaters last an average of six to 11 years. However, with excellent maintenance, they can last up to 15 years. Heat pump water heaters, on the other hand, last an average of between 12 and 15 years and potentially longer with proper maintenance. In both cases, your home's water quality can be a determining factor regarding the lifespan of your water heater.

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.

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.
