SEE WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"Our water regulator and shut off valve started leaking over the weekend. I contacted Plumbing Plus on Sunday afternoon via their contact us form on their site. Christina reached out to me Monday morning to share availability for someone to come out later that afternoon. 30 min before their arrival I received and automated text with information about a technician being dispatched to my house. Jordan was professional and courteous; he talked me through his assessment, estimated cost and answered all my questions. Work was clean, efficiently, and ahead of schedule. Jordan took my payment via tablet and photos of the work and invoice were sent instantaneously. I highly recommend Plumbing Plus!"

"I called this company based on the reviews and was so happy I did. Two mechanics named Gilbert and Edgar showed up to my front door on the same day and were dressed in their snazzy uniforms and big smiles on their faces. They were super intelligent, easy to talk to, and answered all my questions from start to finish about the process of replacing my water heater and all the codes the new one had to meet. Then Edgar checked every single faucet and shower head in my house to make sure the water pressure and temperature was up to par. I highly recommend Plumbing Plus especially Gilbert and Edgar."

"This company is awesome! Our condo complex has a 100 gallon hot water heater that went out and was leaking all over the utility room. After calling around to a few companies who said they weren't sure if they could do the job, quoted us outrageous prices, or just didn't call us back, Plumbing Plus absolutely saved the day. They had very fair pricing and said they could get it done that day. The plumber who came out, Gilbert, was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He explained what he was going to do and got the job done! We are extremely happy with the service we received and will be using Plumbing Plus again!"

Do You Need a Professional to Install Your Water Heater?

Installing or replacing a water heater can be a complicated job. You may need special tools and adhesives to ensure everything is connected properly.

Signs You Need a New Water Heater

Water heaters can last for around 10 years. Over time and after continual use, they can start showing problems. Sometimes a repair can take care of the issues. But other times, it’s necessary to completely replace the unit.

Indicators of a malfunctioning water heater include:

Discolored water: There may be a problem with the machine if your water is cloudy or rust-colored.
No hot water: A broken water heater will take longer to get your water hot. You might also notice the hot water from your faucets getting colder faster.
Weird sounds: The various components that make up your water heater could become damaged after a while, causing strange noises.

How to Select the Perfect Water Heater for Your Needs

Choosing the ideal water heater involves careful consideration of several factors, ensuring it aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and budget. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make an informed decision:

1. Understand the Types of Water Heaters

Tankless Water Heaters: These heaters provide hot water on demand, saving space and energy but might have a higher upfront cost.
Storage Tank Water Heaters: These are the most traditional and generally more affordable but consume more energy to keep the water hot.
Heat Pump Water Heaters: Energy-efficient and eco-friendly, they extract heat from the air but require more space and are less effective in colder climates.
Solar Water Heaters: Utilize solar panels to heat water; great for sunny areas but involve significant installation costs.
Condensing Water Heaters: Efficient for homes using natural gas, these heaters reuse exhaust gases to heat water further.

2. Assess Your Hot Water Needs

Evaluate the number of people in your household and typical usage patterns.
Consider peak usage times (e.g., multiple showers, dishwasher, and laundry).

3. Determine Your Budget

Factor in both purchase price and long-term energy costs.
Consider potential rebates or energy credits available for more efficient models.

4. Evaluate Installation Requirements

Check whether your home’s infrastructure supports the water heater type.
Some models may necessitate additional ventilation or plumbing adjustments.

5. Consider Energy Efficiency

Look for units with a good Energy Factor (EF) rating.
Higher efficiency models might have higher upfront costs but save money over time on energy bills.

6. Consult Professionals

Seek advice from a licensed plumber or a water heater specialist to understand the specific needs of your home.
Professional consultations ensure compatibility with your home’s existing systems.

By taking into account these factors, you can confidently select a water heater that meets your specific needs, providing consistent and efficient hot water for years to come.
