"BF Plumbing came out to give free estimate to replace water expansion tank. He wanted to check other things and 'found' that the anode rod needed replacing and T/P valve 'was bad'. Estimate to replace all 3 things was over $650- more than the cost of a new water heater (not incl. installation). If I knew nothing about water heaters I might have vastly over paid. I suspected that the anode rod was nowhere near the end of it's life span and I was pretty sure there was nothing wrong with the T/P valve. After an hour & 1/2 on google & youtube I am 99% sure they both fine for another 3 to 15 years. I might have been willing to pay $250-$300 to replace the expansion tank, but not after getting bad information on the other two items. I ended up replacing the expansion tank myself in 30 minutes at a cost of $42 (plus $3 for a tube of thread sealant). I also spend $38 on a new anode rod before deciding not to replace it, but I'll keep the new one and replace it myself in 3-5 years when it really does need replacing. Seems that T/P valves typically last the life of the water heater so I won't buy of them until I really do need it. Pllumber seemed like a nice enough guy, but so do used car salesmen. My advice- if you don't know anything about plumbing get a least 3-4 estimates before you pay anyone. And remember that sometimes a $49 fee to get an estimate will end up being cheaper than a 'free' estimate."

Apex Plumbing strives to provide exceptional service at affordable prices. We are a veteran owned and operated company that prioritizes customer service and putting the customer first! Apex Plumbing specializes in Emergency Plumbing Services and resolving your issues in a timely manner. Additionally we offer the following commercial and residential services: Clogged drains, Water heaters, Tankless water heaters, Toilets Faucets & sinks, Sewer line service, Water line service, Hydro-jetting, Garbage disposals, Water softeners & filtration Maintenance agreements, Backflow prevention, and Remodeling / Construction

"We live in an older house in West Tampa. After pretty much a total remodel of both bathrooms and the kitchen, we experienced a homeowners nightmare...a plumber was doing periodic maintenance on our cast iron infrastructure when a pipe broke. After analyzing solutions with them, which included knocking out walls in both bathrooms, the owner handed us off to APEX. Joe and Mike came over to the house and examined what we had & took pictures. After running cameras through everything, they developed a hybrid solution that involved undermining accessible pipes and replacing with minimal intrusion as well as refurbishing and epoxy coating the remaining small segments of cast iron that would remain. Joe sat down at our dining room table and mapped it all out; showing us video of each problem point as well as what was salvageable & gave us a price. We signed off on it. With much apprehension on our part knowing our home was about to be dissected, Elliot and John arrived to start work. They were prompt, respectful, & empathetic to our dilemna. They were also insistent about putting protective paper down everywhere they worked to protect the flooring. At the end of the day, they swept, vacuumed, and mopped any debris that was remaining. This was the standard throughout the entire engagement. Their workmanship and attention to detail was spot on. All of Joe’s guys were phenomenal. John, Elliot, Matt; I cannot remember all their names, were consummate professionals of the highest degree. I would not hesitate to recommend APEX Plumbing."

This is a team of reliable, professional experts who are committed to doing a thorough job and ensuring that you have everything you need. Call the office today to learn more about your options!

"My review has not appeared on the Performance Air primary site which consists of positive reviews, so I'll try to replicate here. I've also contacted the BBB. Company ads indicate "service 24/7" which is misleading. Yes, you can speak w/ someone at the company, but they can't or won't send a tech 24/7. Our a/c went out Sat evening, 9/16, and they said someone would be out Tues, 9/20. When I said that won't work they scheduled us for the next day, Sunday, between 10a and 2p. Needless to say they didn't show. I called dispatch to see when someone would arrive and was told the tech was delayed on another job. Finally about 5:30p I was told "you're not on the schedule." A wasted day in the heat when I could have called someone else. Our Trane unit (bought from Performance) is less than 8 years old and is maintained only by Performance Air via a service contract. The company is eager for us to replace the unit. When Trane and other brands are properly maintained they typically last much longer than 8 years. The company overcharges on parts, which I've called them out on and had the price reduced (check the records if they'll let you...you have our permission.) Hughes Gulfport FL"

Water heater services FAQs

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you’ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you’ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.
