"I had power go out in my room, I call Just Better Home Services, they were quick to respond and send an electrician out. They ended up charging me $441 for several hours of troubleshooting. and I still did not have power in my room. They did quote me over $3000 to run new circuits to 2 of my rooms. I had another electrician come out a few days later. He found the issue in less than 30 minutes and charged me significate less. I do not recommend Just Better Services electrician services."

"I can’t recommend this company. Butch is friendly but professionalism and responsiveness are a huge red and had been from day one. When I called to schedule an estimate, I was told I’d have to wait 3 weeks for even that. I agreed. No big deal. Butch came out as per our conversation and gave a great quote. After that, it was not so great. We accepted the quote, and set up a date to have the work done two weeks later. Butch got the dates wrong by a week. He called an hour before he was supposed to do the job to say my pieces weren’t dry and he couldn’t move them. He wanted to push it out another week. When the time came to do the job, Butch was unable to do the job but assured me he would call me back when he was ready with a plan. Never called me. Next came a game of phone tag that ultimately ended up with my message being unreturned and I called to confirm that he in fact was not doing the job at this point. Butch sited personal reasons as the cause for not being able to have done the work. Given how frankly chaotic 2020 has been, I wanted to be understanding and empathetic for him as he’s just another person trying to get by but after 2 months maybe it was a good thing it didn’t work out. Can’t vouch for his work but the experience was bad. I started planning in late august early September for this project to be completed for the holidays but now I’m starting all over looking for other contractors three weeks before Thanksgiving."

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.
