Water Heater Replacement reviews from Goldston
Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Called at 5am and had someone at the house before 7. He found the split line, showed me the failed fitting, and had it repaired and pressure tested by mid-morning. The price he quoted at the start is what I paid.
Marcus D.Goldston, NCWater heater died the day before we had family arriving. They got a new one in the same afternoon, took the old one away, and fixed the venting that had apparently never been right. Would use again without thinking about it.
Greg W.Goldston, NCWe run a small restaurant and the kitchen line backed up during dinner service. They came out after we closed, jetted the whole run, and had us open on time the next morning. Now on a quarterly schedule with them.
Hector M.Goldston, NCWater Heater Replacement in Goldston: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Goldston?
A straight tank-for-tank swap in a Goldston home is usually three to five hours. Moving a location, converting fuel type or correcting old venting adds time and we tell you that up front.
What size water heater do I need?
One or two people usually do fine on 40 gallons, a family of four is better on 50, and larger households or big soaking tubs want 65 to 75 gallons or a tankless unit.
Do I need a permit in Goldston?
Most North Carolina jurisdictions require one for a water heater change-out. We handle the paperwork and the inspection as part of the job.
How long will a new heater last?
Ten to thirteen years is typical for a tank in this part of North Carolina, longer if the anode rod is checked every few years and the tank is flushed annually.
Can you install a heater I bought myself?
We can, though we will inspect it first and the manufacturer warranty terms may differ. Most Goldston customers end up better off with a supplied unit because the warranty is handled in one place.
