"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

"The gutters on my home started sagging last year during a brutal ice storm.  Large icicles formed that pulled them down and away from the roof in places.  Rainwater would pour out of the gutters in these areas, creating a waterfall effect.  I don't know why I put off calling to get them repaired.  
I contacted Mr. Machen, who was very friendly on the phone, approximately two weeks before the work was actually performed.  We made an appointment for a few days later for him to come out and give me an estimate.  There was a problem the day he was supposed to come out and we rescheduled for a few days later.  When he came out, he was again very nice and polite.  He took a look and gave me an estimate for the work which I thought was a great price.  He was back less than a week later to repair and clean the gutters.  He and his helper re-attached the parts of the gutters that were coming loose and then cleaned the gutters.   They made sure there was no debris left anywhere on my property after cleaning them too.  When I took a look at the gutters (from the ground), you couldn't even tell which parts had been sagging.  The work was excellent.  I paid exactly the estimated price.  It's been a week since the work was done and it has rained A LOT since then.  The water drains the way it's supposed to now.  I am very pleased with the job that was done and will definitely call these guys up again for more work.
In fact, while Mr. Machen was here giving me the estimate for the gutter work,  I asked if he would take a look at my bathtub too.  I need to have the faucet replaced and have the entire surrounding area re-grouted and re-caulked.  I think the estimate he gave me for that work was fair and I will be contacting him within the next few weeks to schedule an appointment."

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.

No, you’ll need to drain the tank before changing a water heater element, as the water heater element sticks through the side of the tank and uses a gasket to prevent water from pouring out. However, you don’t always need to drain it completely. If you’re only replacing the upper heating element, you can drain the tank until the water line is below the element. If you’re replacing the lower element, you’ll need to drain the whole thing.

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.

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.

Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it’s much more effective where it’s warm. The reason is that the heat pump needs ambient warmth in the air to compress. The less warmth, the more compression required, thus using more electricity and offsetting the energy-efficient benefits.
