"Great! Our water heater burst last night, and we needed to find someone that would be responsive and not too expensive. After numerous phone calls Plumbing Innovation was the only professional plumber that understood our need to get a water heater as soon as possible and guaranteed that we would have hot water today. They were professional and as promised we have hot water. We will use them again and highly recommend them to others."

"Excellent communication. Arrived on time. He would not wire the water heater, so we did the wiring to the breaker box ourselves. He did a great job with the install to the tub. He also fixed a leak he discovered for another $150+. The entire project was very expensive, but I got two estimates and they were the same - but the other estimate included the wiring."

"My water heater was leaking, and within a few days of contacting this company a technician inspected the problem, sent me a price quote, scheduled a weekend  installation, and the work was completed promptly, courteously, and for a reasonable price. Excellent customer service all around, and I highly recommend John Dexter."

"I've been pleased with them. They put in our central air and I think they do a good job. I hear other companies come and do a maintenance check and they're less expensive, so I'd give them a B for price. My experience with them was satisfactory. They put in our central air we do pay them yearly for the maintenance checks of the system."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.

Typically, only a high-efficiency water heater with an inducer fan can be vented outside the house. Otherwise, your water heater needs to be installed on the inside and vented through the roof. However, certain areas may allow a standard-efficiency water heater to be vented outside. Check your local building codes to be sure.

Several signs indicate your water heater may be failing or in need of replacement. Key indicators include:

  • Age: A water heater older than ten years is approaching the end of its typical lifespan.

  • Water Quality: If you notice rusty or discolored water from your hot water faucets, or a foul odor similar to rotten eggs or sulfur, it can signal internal corrosion.

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rumbling, or popping sounds from the tank often mean sediment has built up, causing the unit to overheat.

  • Leaks: Any water pooling around the base of the tank or visible leaks are clear signs of failure.

  • Performance Issues: A decline in performance, such as water not getting hot enough, taking longer to heat up, low water pressure, or decreased efficiency, suggests the unit is struggling.

  • Visible Damage: Obvious rust and corrosion on the exterior of the tank can indicate a more serious internal problem.

While these signs often point to replacement, some issues may be fixable. It's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose the problem before investing in a new unit.

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

If your gas water heater is over 20 years old, it should be replaced. Gas water heaters can last up to 12 years and while they can exceed this expectancy if well-maintained, a heater that's 20 years old would require replacement. The heater is unlikely to run as efficiently as a new model and could be more expensive to do so.
