"Beware of shipping issues with this company. Ordered an ice maker installation kit on 10/10/25. Shipping was due no later than 10/20 according to company and FedEx tracking. FedEx tracking showed the package at their facility for 8 days without moving beginning on 10/15. Called FedEx 3 times. Each time they said they cannot find package and I have to contact shipper. Shipper has to make a claim, they will not mark it as lost. Called Appliance Parts Pros twice. Each time they say FedEx has to mark package lost before they will do anything. They also state they have to wait 14 days from them before doing anything because of their contract with FedEx. I don't care about their contract, I want what was ordered and paid for. Just going in circles with them and FedEX. If they shipped after 14 days it would be 22 days from that point, 32 days from the date of order if they shipped it that day.

"I won a free tune-up for my furnaces from Capital Heating, Cooling & Electric so I thought I would give them a try instead of my regular HVAC company. On October 2, 2024, the Capital service tech, Colin, came out to tune up my 2 furnaces. As part of his work, Colin measured the CO2 in the exhaust pipe and said both furnaces were at dangerous levels and should not be operated until both the primary and secondary heat exchangers were replaced in each plus the burner for one of the units. The quote from Capital to do the repairs on the furnaces exceeded $5700. Colin said the CO2 on one of the furnaces exceeded 400ppm. Colin tried to sell me on the repairs and I told them I planned to get another opinion. I found Colin to be arrogant, obnoxious and very pushy. Seemed like he was under pressure to get me to do the repairs. Had to ask him to leave multiple times before he finally left. On October 14, 2024 I had an independent HVAC company, one I had not used before, in for a second opinion on the furnaces. The independent HVAC company measured the CO2 in the exhaust pipe for each furnace and found that the furnace that Capital told me was over 400ppm was at 27ppm and the other furnace was under 5ppm; also pulled the burner on the one furnace and said it didn't need to be replaced. Additionally, the tech for the independent HVAC company told me as the original owner of the furnaces the heat exchangers should be covered under warranty, which I was able to confirm. Capital failed to mention the warranty for the heat exchangers as well. Given this experience, I will never trust Capital to do any work for me in the future."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. Is a tankless water heater worth it? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy.

The average lifespan of a water heater is eight to 12 years. If your water heater is approaching its first decade of life and is giving you problems, talk to a plumber about your replacement options.

Keep in mind that certain parts of a water heater, such as the anode rod, may need replacement long before the heater itself. An anode rod often has a lifespan of three to five years.

If you have a tank-type electric water heater, it runs regularly to keep the water at the desired temperature. If you live in a home where you don’t use much hot water, it could seem wasteful to run power to heat water that you’re using infrequently. You could save some power by using a smaller tank, insulating the tank, or lowering the temperature of the water heater.

You have more options for water heaters than ever before. The best one for your home depends on your hot water usage and budget. Some of the more common types of water heaters are the conventional gas heater, a heat pump water heater, or a tankless heater for smaller homes or those with less water demands. Some uncommon types are solar and point-of-use systems. Some homes may have a combination of two units, such as a large heat pump heater and a backup point-of-use system.

When the water expands in a hot water heater, it puts pressure on your hot water pipes and can cause leaks or a rupture in the hot water tank under certain conditions. Pipes or water heaters may split due to the pressure where there is a backflow preventer that prevents the hot water heater from diffusing pressure by releasing water back to the public water line.

In these scenarios, a hot water heater expansion tank provides a place for the hot water heater to relieve pressure and prevent bursts and leaks.
