A new water heater is a big purchase. Here at Longmont Water Heaters we chat about what you have, I look as some pics you take, and then I give you a price in advance so you know exactly what it will cost.
Longmont Water Heaters's focus is water heaters and water heaters only. Mike used to own and operate Greater Western Plumbing, but when that ended he wanted to hone in his focus to his specialty, WATER HEATERS!
At Longmont Water Heaters, all I do is water heaters in Longmont. It is my specialty and I do a lot of them. Give me a call at 970-389-2285 and lets talk about your water heater.
Most people don't swap thier water heaters until it is to late. Know that you are not alone.
1. Turn off the gas valve.
2. Unplug it if it has a plug in.
3. There should be a shut off valve above your water heater (usually on the right, cold inlet) close that. You have now limited the amout of water that will continue to leak.
4. Take a deep breath. You already made the right first step in coming here.
Right here, good job, you already did that part.
I usually end up installing the modern equivilant of whatever you have now. Switching to a different style, like tank to tankless is a big step up in COST. But I am happy to talk about your options. Shoot me a call at 970-389-2285
Listed from most common to least common:
1. Gas Tank - Atmospheric vent - That is the thin metal vent coming out of the top
2. Electric Tank - Wire coming out of the top
3. Power Direct Vent - 2 PVC pipes coming out of the top
4. Power Vent - a Fan on top and then a single pipe either PVC or metal coming out of the top
5. Gas Tankless - no tank, 1 or 2 pipes coming out of the top. For more info on whether a tankless is right for you, click here
6. Electric Tankless - we don't see to many of these around Longmont
7. Sidearm - A sidearm is a storage tank without a heating mechanism, so the water would get heated somewhere else like a boiler next to the sidearm
I can typically do next day service if you are doing a "like for like" water heater swap.
The actual installation will usually take 2-6 hours depending on the tank water heater you choose.
For a tank to tankless swap it usually takes 1-2 days.
Dont hesitate to work with Longmont Water Heaters. Their prices were the best by a good margin and they dont skip on the details. Everything looks great and Mike is great to work with and very personable.
I highly recommend Mike and Longmont Water Heater. Left a message on a Saturday when my H2O heater busted. Mike replied quickly. Gave me a decent, all inclusive quote and scheduled the install for first thing Monday morn. We talked about usage...
Mike is quick to respond, professional and did a quality installation. I purchased the water heater from a distributor/supplier, had it delivered and Mike did the install. I recommend Mike for water heater installations, particularly Bradford White.
I am so pleased with the service I got from Longmont water heaters On my tankless hot water heater. They worked through the issue and came back several times to make sure everything was in working order. I would highly recommend them.
