"Ned with Mast Plumbing has been great to work with. I?ve hired him for work at my house, which involved relocating the plumbing for my washing machine, extending and repairing some water and drain lines. Ned has also helped several of my friends and some of my clients I?ve referred to him with projects ranging from plumbing new gas lines, tankless water heater installs and installing new water mains. Ned is clearly very experienced, professional and patient. He explains the process clearly, and is honest about your best options. I highly recommend Ned with Mast Plumbing, and will continue to refer him to anyone I find in need of a quality plumber."

"I recently had the pleasure of having RossCo Plumbing upgrade my water heater set up in my home and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I contacted Richie, the owner, he was incredibly responsive and courteous. He took the time to explain the process thoroughly and provided a clear, fair estimate with no hidden fees. Richie’s team arrived on time and were professional and efficient throughout the entire job. They were respectful of my home, ensuring everything was clean and tidy before they left. My situation was a little complicated because we also needed to have my furnace replaced by another company, which required my water heater to be removed and then put back after. Richie was kind enough to help me out by coming out and taking care of all of that for me, including coordinating with the furnace company so that everything was seamless. Richie’s hands-on approach and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident in every interaction. He personally followed up after the job to ensure everything was working perfectly and that I was completely satisfied. It’s difficult to find such genuine dedication and personal touch in businesses these days. Overall, my experience with RossCo Plumbing was outstanding. If you’re looking for reliable, skilled, and courteous professionals in Puyallup, WA, look no further than RossCo Plumbing. They truly go above and beyond to ensure their customers are happy, and it’s clear they take great pride in their work. Thank you, Richie and the RossCo team, for making what could have been a stressful situation completely hassle-free. I will definitely be using your services again in the future and recommending you to all my friends and family!"

"My water heater was leaking badly. They were there in 2 hours, and in less 3 hours later; we had a new water heater installed. Very professional and quick. Honestly it was a little more than another quote, it's a better water heater and I would have had to wait four days for an install. Very pleased. When its an emergency, you want fast quality service; which we received."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

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.

If your system is not vented properly, you could experience what’s called backdrafting. Backdrafting is when your ventilation system isn’t working as it should, and instead of releasing gases outside, they get trapped inside your home. 

Gas and propane water heaters create a few types of combustion gases, but the most dangerous is carbon monoxide. If there’s too much build-up of these gases inside your home, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

A larger heater requires a larger breaker—unless there’s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a local electrical pro.

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.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.
