"My understanding is that the guy that came out to install my new toilet and bidet has actually had more experience with commercial plumbing but you would never know it. He was very personable. Showed up a few minutes late but called and let me know he was running behind and then showed up when he said he would. Very conscientious. Seemed to know what he was doing with the bidet install even though it doesnâ t seem that would be typical for a plumber. Made sure everything worked as it should and then cleaned up after such that my wife couldnâ t even tell work had been done. His prices seemed reasonable. I have him scheduled to replace a water heater soon and just as an example his price is significantly less than the other two bids I got. And Iâ m not sure who it was that called but a few days later a woman called to see if I had had a good experience. Needless to say I answered YES!!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Electric water heaters do not need an attached vent, but the location of the water heater should allow for roughly 12 inches of clearance around it. This allows cool air to flow around the appliance and allows repair technicians to work on its components safely. The exact amount of clearance space required depends on your local building codes.

A water heater is one of the heaviest hitters in your home, and it needs as much power as possible to help it run efficiently and effectively.

Your water heater should be on its own dedicated circuit breaker, with no other power sources running to it. This is required to meet the National Electric Code–and to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible.

No state requires you to vent an electric water heater. Other installation requirements for water heaters will vary, though, depending on the state and local jurisdiction in which you live. Some places require permits, while others don’t. Some may force you to place the appliance a certain distance from any walls or other appliances, while others don't. When you find a local professional to install a water heater, this expert will ensure you follow all the local regulations.

If you want instant hot water and to reduce water waste while improving convenience, a hot water recirculating system is worth it, especially if you find your hot water heater is not hot enough. These systems can save thousands of gallons of water each year so you don't have to wait for hot water at faucets and showers. The upfront investment can be high, especially for systems requiring additional plumbing, but the long-term savings on water bills and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade.

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.
