"Joe and his team did an outstanding job installing our tankless water heater. They are knowledgeable, flexible, conscientious, professional, friendly, timely, and do outstanding work. I would highly recommend Premier Water Heaters for your water heater needs."
"My technician Kyle was very informative and respectful. He explained what was going on and was very professional. Kyle even left me with an electric heater for the evening until they could replace my furnace the next day. Kyle was back early the next morning to start the replacement of my old furnace for the new one and it is working great! I am so happy that I was able to get this done right away."

"I have used this company multiple times over the years. Installed a hot water heater and fixed some pipes when they froze in the winter. Dale is the best of the best! Would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"They showed up very quickly. After replacing the hot water heater I went down in the basement later that day to inspect the work and found water all over the floor and a leaking braze joint right above the heater with the incoming water line. They came back quickly and repaired the leak but the mess on the floor was all mine to clean up. Not a fun experience at all. "

"Awesome job. Highly recommend and will use them in the future. Purchased the roof inspection off Angie's list. They came and were on the roof in no time. We were told our nails hadn't been caulked, and he did a quick caulk (which may explain some water leakage we had). Did some minor repairs and was extremely friendly. All said and told in less than 15 minutes. We will need some new shingles soon, and I will definitely give them a call. "

"I go through them sometimes and I have mixed feeling about them. You can elect to cover as little or as much as you want and for a yearly price they will cover it. You have to use their providers. Sometimes their providers are good and sometimes they aren't. Sometimes they want to keep fixing something that's obviously broken rather than replace it. That's my criticism. I've had them for many years. I live alone and so I feel like big ticket items, like if I have to have my air replaced I can go through them. Over the years I've had water heaters replaced, air conditioners replaced. I think the price is a little high but if you need a big item replaced it is totally worth it. I think that sometimes they don't use the best products that are available. I think that like everybody they are trying to get by with the least that they can do it with the contract for these companies. It's that kind of a thing, price driven."
Every city and state will have its own set of installation codes and laws. Some won’t require you to obtain a permit before replacing your water heater, though we recommend you do, regardless of the local codes. On the other hand, some cities and states might require secondary permits for plumbing and electrical work related to the installation. Check with a local water heater installation company and local building codes to confirm which permits are required and what the specific laws are.
While possible, professional assistance is recommended to ensure compliance with local regulations and avoidance of avoidable risks.
Electric water heaters typically last 10 to 20 years, though proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. If your unit is over a decade old and showing signs of inefficiency—such as higher energy bills, frequent repairs, or leaks—replacement is a smart investment. Tankless models last over 20 years, which can make them a longer-lasting alternative to traditional tank water heaters.
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.
Signs your electric water heater is failing include inconsistent water temperature, reduced hot water supply, longer heating times, or discolored water (rusty or cloudy). Unusual noises like popping or rumbling suggest sediment buildup, while leaks or corrosion around the tank signal structural damage. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to replace it.
