"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet.  I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

A leaking water heater could potentially last for a few weeks or months before you need to repair it. However, it's not advisable to wait too long. Once your water heater starts leaking, it's likely that the underlying cause of the leak is getting worse as time goes on. Without immediate repair, your water heater could fail. Instead of using a leaky water heater, you should turn it off and call a pro to fix it.

Any item that can hold on to moisture and encourage mold growth should be discarded and replaced following water damage. Upholstered items, such as armchairs and couches, and soft items, such as mattresses, usually must be thrown away once they've taken on a lot of water. Soft furniture is difficult to dry out, creating an inviting environment for mold.

You may also need to replace hardwood furniture following water damage if you're unable to fully dry it out. If you have appliances and electronics that have been fully submerged in water, particularly sewage, you'll need to replace those, too.

The average cost to install a new water heater is approximately $1,300, with a typical price range between $880 and $1,800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, its location and accessibility, and the amount of labor required. For example, installing a unit in a tight space like a crawl space can increase labor costs. The type of water heater significantly impacts the price: while a conventional gas heater might cost less than $1,000, tankless models can cost around $2,600 to install (and up to $3,500), and solar heaters can cost upwards of $3,700. Other factors that can affect the total price include the fuel type, vent system requirements, permits, and whether any additional plumbing work or repairs from previous water heater damage are needed.

Most standard residential water heaters, which are typically around 40 gallons and use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts, require a 30-amp, two-pole circuit breaker. For smaller, point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts, a 30-amp breaker is also often adequate. However, some models may have different needs; units that use more watts than average may require a 40-amp breaker, while smaller units might only need a 20-amp breaker. Newer, tankless, or more energy-efficient models can also require a higher amperage. Having the correct breaker size is crucial for safe and efficient operation, so it's best to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific needs of your water heater.

The time it takes to install or replace a water heater depends on the type of heater and the complexity of the job. A professional can typically replace a standard tank-style water heater in one to three hours. However, if the work area is tight, such as a small closet or crawl space, the job could take four to five hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit takes about two to three hours, while upgrading from a tank-style to a tankless water heater is more complex and can take four to six hours. The project will take longer if you are switching fuel sources, such as installing a gas heater which can add about an hour to the timeline, or if the unit needs to be relocated.
