"PMK replaced our water heater. They responded to our Angi inquiry immediately, arrived about an hour later, we agreed on how to proceed, and Mike left to collect the replacement for our water heater and an additional set of hands. Well done. Professional, careful, informative. Again, well done."

"The plumber responded right away and kept me apprised of his arrival well within the time window they gave me. The plumber was cordial and knowledgeable. He also had resources to contact if there was a special condition with our hot water pipes fed by gas heat. He was very observant and checked the pipes for frozen areas. He was able to create warmth needed to make the hot water flow again. The whole process was smooth and efficient. We are dripping all the hot water faucets also now, not just the cold faucets. Thank you, White's Plumbing and Repair, for helping us in this long frozen period we are experiencing."

"Mike was great! My water heater had been broken for several days. He called quickly, came out the next morning and I had a brand new water heater installed that day. The price was fair and he was easy to work with. I definitely recommend and I will contract PMK in the future."

"Excellent Service! They came when I couldn't get a hold of the company our Home Warranty hired. They were very reasonably priced compared to the other company. He explained everything in detail and was able to do a complete water heater install SAME day. We were very impressed. We ended up hiring them for our HVAC repair too."

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

The average water heater holds between 40 and 60 gallons, but the exact amount of water that comes out during draining will depend on your unit’s capacity. The amount of time it takes to drain a water heater averages from 10 to 30 minutes.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

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.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

Unusual noises, lack of hot water supply, efficiency loss, and visible leaks are signs of necessary replacement beyond mere repair.
