"We were pleased to work with Greg Mair who came to.our house the night of Jan17, 2024 after our 14 year old furnace died. He reviewed our entire system and made recommendations that fit our needs correctly. He arranged for a new furnace to be installed the next day and provided us with space heaters to be used until the work was completed. We will definitely call on Greg for any future needs."

"Lucas and his apprentice arrived early. We were so happy to see them. They proceeded to shut off the water and got right to the problems. They replaced the the faucet and made sure everything was working and took care of all leaking problems. They finished quickly and made sure everything was clean. We were charged a very reasonable price. They performed exceptional service. I have recommended them to several friends and family members."

"Harker Heating And Cooling is the best HVAC contractor we have ever worked with in 40 years. Their web site proudly says they are an “honest company with Midwestern values.” That is absolutely true. Their representative provided in-depth advice, answered our questions. and returned our messages. Their techs were knowledgeable, professional, careful, and friendly. They were on time, on call, and on budget. The service they provided for us over the years could not be better. So when the time finally came to replace our old furnace and A/C we selected them. Unfortunately, they encountered many unexpected problems installing our new equipment. Many more than they had anticipated for the job. But their representative pledged to address every one of them no matter how hard it was for them or how much of their time it took. And that is exactly what they did. No quibbling and no questions. They got the job done right. If you want an honest family contractor who stands behind what they do, and lives by those Midwestern values, then this is the company to hire. You will be glad you did. Doug and Margie King Mount Horeb, Wisconsin"

"These guys were awesome! They were fast and reasonably priced. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that they placed the water softener tank in front of my heater, and we can't get our filters in and out. That being said, my husband never told me where it needed to be, and I don't know what I don't know. Thanks for the hot water!!"

Water Heaters FAQs, answered by experts

Excessive pressure (above 80 psi) puts too much stress on plumbing pipes, joints, and fixtures. This can lead to leaks and burst pipes. Plus, it shortens the lifespan of appliances, can waste water, and can raise your utility bills. High water pressure might feel like a gift, but it’s actually a silent threat to plumbing.

Examples include gas stoves, ovens, and water heaters. Confirm with your provider for specific items.

Heat pump water heaters, also known as hybrid water heaters, are the most efficient types of water heaters—both in terms of carbon emission and energy efficiency. This type of water heater utilizes as little as half of the energy of a traditional water heater while releasing no direct emissions. Tankless water heaters are also extremely efficient, although slightly less so than hybrid heaters.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.

Every type of water heater has its advantages and disadvantages. Understanding those can help you decide the best type for your situation and budget. 

Pros

  • Safer than gas or propane

  • Doesn’t require extensive venting systems

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Simpler to operate

  • No pilot light

  • Easier installation

  • More efficient heating than gas models

  • Available as point-of-use (POU) and whole-house units

Cons

  • Slower to heat water

  • Longer recovery time

  • Possibly higher operating costs

  • Doesn’t work during a power outage

  • Costs can increase without a 240-volt connection
