"Tim Baker, owner of BKR was very responsive when we were seeking a professional to replace our water heater in an emergency. His price was very competitive. We were absent and he dealt professionally and courteously we our condo staff. His work was neat and our water heater is working well. He also promptly provided detailed estimates for insurance needs. Highly recommend this company"

"I live in Alaska and was trying to sell my house in VT which is a big task when you do everything by email and over the phone. A home inspection revealed that all three heaters in the house needed replacement and the current ones were red tagged and shut off. So with no heat and it being October with a pending sale I needed heaters installed ASAP. Myself and my relator called and emailed people to no avail. I contacted a House Needs in Waitsfield VT to see if they installed the items they sold and they didn't but they recommended Dennis Smith at Preferred oil and propane. I sent them an email and on the next business day I got a call told them my problem and they said they would take a look by the end of the week. I gave them the combo to my house and a few hours later I got a call back and he had already been there and explained to me what the job would entail and what types of stoves he could install with the space available. He new the price and labor costs on 2 and got back to me a couple hours later with the information on the 3rd. We agreed on a price I made a deposit and he ordered the stoves. He started the job 3 days early and finished before the original start date. He sent me photos of the work done and advised that he would meet with the new home owners to explain how to operate the units. I was so thankful to have this work done in a timely and reasonably price fashion. I would highly recommend Preferred oil and propane for any heating needs. the customer service was amazing. Every time I sent an email it was promptly answered."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Several things can void the warranty for your water heater. Many water heater manufacturers state that installing your own will void the warranty. However, even if you get away with performing the task yourself, incorrect installation, lack of a building permit, and improper repair work, regardless of licensing status, can all render your water heater unprotected by both the manufacturer's warranty and any installation warranties. 

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.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type, usage, and maintenance schedule. Traditional tank-style water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years, though the range can be as wide as 6 to 15 years. Within this category, gas models often last 8-12 years, while electric models may last 10-15 years. In contrast, tankless water heaters have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 20 years or more. Factors like heavy usage, hard water, and sediment buildup can shorten a unit's life. To extend its lifespan, it is crucial to perform regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank annually and scheduling professional inspections. If your unit is over a decade old and shows signs of rust, leaks, strange noises, or inconsistent heating, it is likely time for a replacement.

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.

Choosing between an electric water heater vs. a gas water heater comes down to personal preference. Overall, electric heaters are more energy efficient than their gas competitors. They’re also quieter to operate, take up less room, and don’t come with a risk of gas leaks. 

The downside is that electric water heaters cost more to operate than gas. They might also struggle to heat water fast enough for households that use large amounts of hot water. Lastly, a power outage could cause your electric water heater to stop working, whereas gas water heaters may still function.
