"My experience with this company was not so great. We called them on a Thursday afternoon to come out and look at our furnace which was dripping water. I was thrilled when they said they could come out that same day. The tech arrived and diagnosed our issue very quickly, but the part had to be ordered so they would have to come back the next day to install it. The part was called a collector box and it basically is a large rectangular piece of plastic housing with a gasket that collects condensate. It was leaking from both bottom corners. He quoted us $800 to replace it. I thought that price was kind of steep, but whatever, sure go ahead and get our heat working. The part arrived the next day and the same tech from the previous day arrived shortly after to install. This is where things start to go downhill. After he gets it all buttoned up, he announces that the new collector box didn't come with an exterior gasket. He claimed he couldn't remove the old gasket from the old collector box because it was too deteriorated. The manufacturer doesn't sell the gasket separately, but he'd be willing to replace our perfectly functioning motor (which comes with a new gasket which is what we really needed) for the low low price of $1900 additional dollars. Better yet, he suggested we replace our whole furnace for somewhere in the neighborhood of $6000. He even offered us financing with a monthly payment plan! So an $800 repair has suddenly ballooned into $6000. Something didn't seem right so I did a quick Google search, found the schematic for our furnace, located the part number for the gasket and ordered it online. THE PART COST $6.00!! We advised the tech that we were not prepared to spend such a large sum of money and to please put the old collector box back on our furnace and leave. As it turns out, it was NOT the collector box that needed replacing. The box itself was in great condition. It was the INTERIOR gasket that had worn out and was leaking water. The EXTERIOR gasket that goes between the motor and the collector box did not even need replacing. However for 6 whole dollars plus shipping, we received both gaskets for our unit and our 8 year old furnace is working great now with no leaks. Also the motor that they quoted us $1900 to replace unnecessarily, only cost $125 on the same website brand new with the gasket. I understand there are labor costs involved with any repair, but Christ! And here's the kicker, it's been more than a week since this whole fiasco took place and they haven't refunded our money as of yet. Matter of fact, there was a new charge from them that appeared on our credit card statement today. May have to fight it through the credit card company, who knows. Our basement has constant video surveillance so this was all captured on video. Needless to say, we will not ever call this company again to repair anything and could not in good conscience recommend their service to anyone. Proceed at your own risk."

"EXCELLENT! The pipe clogged on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON, of course. Water was leaking into our basement! I started looking for someone with 24 hour service, and no one could come out. Then I got a call from IL Sewer and Drain. Joe said he could be out in about an hour, it was already after 4:30 pm. He came out, and was able to unclog our pipe! But upon inspection, the pipe needed to be replaced. He was able to schedule it for the next morning! The work took a few hours, but was all finished and cleaned up! I would not hesitate to hire them again or give them an outstanding reference."

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.
