A new water heater is a big purchase. Here at Berthoud 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.
Berthoud Water Heaters' 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 Berthoud Water Heaters, all I do is water heaters in Berthoud. 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 amount 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.
Mike was very friendly and very helpful and answered all of my questions in a very friendly manner. I like the new hot water heater and the upgrades that he did.
I will make this simple - if you’re having water heater trouble then Mike is your guy. He replaced a 50 gallon tank on my second floor with an on demand Navien in the crawlspace - in a days
Mike IS the guy! Very reasonable. No overhead as mid to large companies charge. He answers his own phone! Quotes right on the phone. He only does water heaters, and he knows what he is doing. Helpful suggestions, and very patiently answers and...
Mike was great at getting me a bid pretty quickly. His bid was far less than a competitor! He got the new water heater in within a couple of days which was what he said he would do. I would highly recommend him.
