"One faucet required locating the inside water line leading to the faucet, and then cutting through paneling and sheetrock to remove and replace the faucet. The work was somewhat messy but they cleaned it up well, replaced the insulation & covered the exposed area with a removeable access panel. The other faucet was easier to replace and included correcting sloppy work that had been done when the previous faucet had been installed. The two workers were polite , neat and careful not to track water and mud into the house or basement "
"Installed new water heater same day as promised. Very professional and spent the time explaining how to manage and care for my water heater. Would higher recomend them."
"During an intense heatwave, Moises provided exceptional emergency service for our aging commercial HVAC units at the church, ensuring they kept running through the hottest days of the summer. Their prompt response, expert repairs, dedication to quality, and fair pricing were truly impressive. For reliable and top-tier HVAC services, Moises is a standout choice. I highly recommend Tyler, Moises, and the entire team at SwiftPro for all your commercial or residential HVAC needs!"
"Mike came by and replaced our water heater while there was still probably 5 inches of snow on the ground outside. He worked quickly and cleaned everything up after he was done. He head our new heater installed and the old one taken out in less than two hours. Very satisfied with the service we received."
"Gabriel was extremely honest and professional. He did not try to upsell me on anything and took the time to explain my options. Since my home is relatively new, he suggested that the water heater or pressure reducing valve (PRV) might still be under warranty and recommended that I check with the builder's contractor before spending money on repairs. He adjusted the water pressure at the PRV, provided a quote for a replacement PRV if needed, and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated his honesty and integrity. I would definitely call Campbell for future plumbing projects and would strongly recommend Gabriel and the company to anyone looking for trustworthy service."
"Jamie our plumber arrived right on time & very efficiently performed three jobs for us. These included replacing a kitchen disposal, installing a vanity water faucet, flushing the water heater. He patiently explained each task and stayed until all were completed. We were so pleased we've entered into a service contract with Beacon Home Services."
"Mr. Brian Langford made all the arrangements with the installation of our gas hot water heater from Lowe's via McCarthy plumbing. He was extremely helpful,patient, professional and available to answer all questions. Due to his approach to his work, we will be working with both companies in the future. Only concern I have is the warranty between Lowe's and AO Smith Hot water heaters. Once the heater is installed, Lowe's severs ties. If there is a problem with the hot water heater, you cannot return it to Lowe's although it was purchased through them, this is clearly stated on the Hot water heater in bold writing."
"If I could give 10 stars I would! Our 2 year old hot water heater went out in the middle of the night due to an electrical issue. Tommy came the next morning, identified the problem and explained everything to me. He returned later that afternoon with a brand new hot water heater and installed it. We had hot water less than 24 hours after our heater went out! Installation was professional and I can tell he takes pride in doing things the right way. He was also up front, fair and honest about pricing. Thank you so much!"
Your water heater's age can affect your homeowners' insurance policy. Many policies will ask how old the heater is when you first apply for a policy—and they may make you replace a model that's over 10 years old.
Even if your policy permits you to have an older heater, it may significantly reduce the amount of protection available. If an older water heater suddenly leaks and causes damage to parts of your home, your policy may not cover it.
You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.
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.
Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.
Yes, a water heater can be replaced in a day and can take between two and three hours to install from start to finish. Even if you encounter extra tasks that need to be completed, the job can still be completed in one day.
