Why should you hire a plumber over a handyman or general contractor to replace your water heater?

• Licensed and insured
  Without a plumbing license a general contractor or handyman is actually performing work illegally and can not pull a permit. If they ask you to pull the permits yourself say NO and do not let them perform the work. If their work fails they may not even carry insurance to cover property damaged caused by faulty installation, leaving you to possibly pay for all the damages.
• Safety
  We know the local codes. With a handyman or general contractor it will most likely never be up to code, leaving you with the potential for serious harm to you and your home. Venting a gas burning appliance requires special care and knowledge to run safely. Don’t put your family at risk from faulty or low quality work. You might save a few dollars with Mr. Handy-Man, but is it really worth the risk to you, your family and your home? You can’t put a price on the safety of you and your family.
• Guaranteed
  If there is a problem you can count on us, we stand behind our work. Mr. Chuck In A Truck, you may have to leave a voice mail, or worse their number is no longer in service. Worse even, not having the correct licenses and insurance may leave you footing the bill for any damages to your property as a result of poor workmanship. Don’t risk the aggravation, hire a professional and licensed plumber.
• Fast and Reliable
  We install water heaters on a regular basis, we dream about installing them, we could even install them blind folded (but for safety reasons we don’t). By hiring a licensed professional plumber you won’t be without hot water for long. Our trucks carry everything needed to install a new water heater quickly, so no trips to the supply house an hour away, no ordering parts that take a week to ship, just hot water fast!
• Cost effectiveness
  We install only high quality and trusted brands like Bradford White, AO Smith, and Navien water heaters.
• Retail versus Professional Models
  Big box stores work with many manufactures to obtain lower priced models which might skip out on some critical features or use cheaper material to allow them to sell such items at a “everyday low price”. Or they might not even be manufactured by the brand name they say they are and instead are a “licensed product” manufactured by some other no name company. Both of these are extremely common in the big box store setting. Warranties may also look appealing, but can be a complete nightmare to deal with. We handle all warranty issues directly with the supply house and manufacturer.
